You should put this thread in the gear section of the forum mate...
I haven't tried any of the models mate, but I think Boss is a safe bet always. Boss is just an MultiFX unit with Overdrive/Distortion pedals built in, it is not a modeler. On the other hand, POD is a modeler, and has lots of different models of amps within. You should definitely check out both devices before you buy, and choose depending what you need. Here's some generalized advice: - If you have a good amp, and wanna use distortion from the amp as your main foundation, but just need to boost the signal and add effects then Boss may be a good solution. - If you have a clean amp that you don't like how it sounds on it's own, and you wanna make it sound like various amps so you can have flexibility while recording, then POD may be what you need. As I said, try both devices in the store. Sellers must plug it in to demonstrate how device works before you buy, if define yourself as a serious buyer. Try both devices on similar amps, preferably the same amps, or at least same brand, and compare sounds. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Keep in mind that getting a pod will also allow you to record your playing with the computer, as it's also a soundcard.
PodXT shouldn't be so far from your budget, and it rocks. Me-20/50/70 are just multiFX, no modeling and no recording afaik, not that it's a bad thing if you don't need that, their effects usually sound good. Edit: Just checked and me-70 has these amp models: PREAMP: OFF, EQ, CLEAN, COMBO, TWEED, STACK, LEAD STK, R-FIER I still believe PodXT would be your best bet, as FloorPOD doesn't have USB connection to record.

I agree with Fran - I think saving some money and getting POD XT or even POD XT live would definitely be a good all-around solution.

I also agree, a Pd XT would be a nice one and allow you to record easily, the boss effects are very reliable too though. best would be to check them out yourself, only like this you can get an impression.
