I'm considering getting the new AXE-FX II that is to be released this month, I had ordered the new POD HD500 Bean, but canceled the order to wait on the FX II, I'm wondering what people here at GMC think of the devices.

I'm wondering if its worth spending the extra for the AXE-FX II as compared to the POD HD500, the price for the AXE II is more then 4 times that of the POD HD500 Bean?

I've only been playing for a few months and I'm not anywhere near a professional, but I used to have the POD X3 and I enjoyed messing around with all the settings and decided to sell it knowing that the POD HD500 Bean is coming out in a couple of days. I've seen a lot of good comments online about the AXE-FX and I'm seriously considering getting one.

All comments are welcome.

Thank you,
DSterling

Thanks for all the comments, they were very helpful and appreciated. GMC is by far my favorite place for all things guitar.

I returned the POD HD, its a nice device and I can see why so many people like it and to each their own opinion. I thought (with my limited trained ear) that it sounded somewhat digital and just not there for me, if that makes sense.

Great news! I was able to order a AXE-FX II today and can't wait till it arrives, hopefully late this week. It's expensive so I plan to sell my motorcycle to pay for it, I didn't use it much anyway. I'll miss it, but guitar is more fun.
