Ok, I don't know where to start. So I'll tell you, this thing is awesome. I spent a few months reading reviews, watching videos and finally I decided to buy the POD X3. I wasn't pretty sure if the videos were realistic, same thing about the reviews... but when "the kidney of rock" came to me, I was astonished. You can't imagine the variety of sounds you can achieve, and the parameters you can manipule are SO specific... it's incredible. I still can't believe this thing can do all this. If you're looking for a REAL sound and you don't wanna spend your whole budget, I recommend this product. If you're looking for a REAL sound and you DO wanna spend your whole budget... I still recommend you this. Grab an amp, put it on a cabinet, select what kind of mic you want to place in front of this "virtual" amp, then add a stomp box, verb, delay, modulation effects, comp (the POD X3's compressor is SO great!), configure the ammount of drive and all that stuff and you're ready to go. You can use 2 tones at the same time, run them through one amp, through 2 separate amps, through the house PA directly, or send the signal into a console to record. You can record the tones in separate tracks, too. You can plug in a bass guitar, there are some cool bass amp simulations that can be VERY useful if you want to record in your home with your band, you can plug a microphone and send your voice through the POD, also with some cool effects (megaphone vocal, for example). You can do WHATEVER YOU WANT. The quantity of amp models, stomps, and all that stuff is AWESOME! I bought the X3 and not the X3 live because I wanted something that I could handle myself with my bare hands, which is really comfortable to me. I was tired of going down to the floor to set my pedalboard's config. Then if you need foot control, there are lots of FBV pedals that you can plug into the pod X3 to be able to use your feet with this baby, and you won't be spending more than if you bought the X3 live! So, I don't know what else to say, but if you're dubious about buying it or not... just buy it, you won't be disappointed! You'll love this thing more than your girlfriend.

Don't Waste Your Money...Buy a Fender G-DEC Well I had read glowing reviews on this product from multiple websites and I must say that I was excited to receive my POD X3. I was hoping this unit would allow me to practice efficiently without having to take my Fender G-DEC on trips and gigs etc, however I was wrong. Pros: 1.
