You play guitar? I had no idea.
Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!

Well i went to the guitar center in harrisburg over the weekend and played it and I also played the Boss gt10.  And they both rocked and are $499.99.  So im undecided between the 2.  they were steering me towards the boss but i've heard so much good stuff about the pod.  I think im going with the pod this weekend.

well, i got the pod X3 live and it does rock.  This thing is almost too powerfull so many effects and options..it's gonna be hard for me to decide which effects and amps to use.  And then theres the interface whew it's a confusing piece of hardware, oh well a small price to pay for good tone.  I'll put up a few pics over the weekend when i get time.

Yes it's not the most easy multieffects unit but it is worth it.  That patch that i was using was a preset one that i modified a bit with the noise gate to keep it really really quiet.  Im still learning how to use the thing but I really only want about 4 different tones.  A good Dimebag tone.  a good SRV tone and a good van Halen tone.  oh maybe throw in a little Hendrix and Satriani for good measure.  dimabag is going to be the hardest i think cause his damn overdrive is so over the top and yet it doesn't get muddy.
