Hey guys! I wanted to tell you that I had the opportunity to sell my X3 live and I did it because I can get the HD500 at a very good price. So the investment is very low. I thought that this was a good moment to upgrade my Pod. I will have the new one the next week... I'm very anxious!

Great news
I am getting the rack mount version for Christmas tomorrow to replace my aging Pod XT Live - they seem like decent units, I wonder how much the modeling has improved?

That's a good move. I do have an aging pod x3 too, it's been good to me, but I think it's time to move on.
I would love an Axe FX but it's very pricy, so the HD it's a good option, let us know how it went with it! -------------------- Visit my:

The pro version looks so great! Are you going to use it only in studio? or you will get the midi controller for playing live? QUOTE (Daniel Realpe @ Dec 24 2011, 04:14 PM) That's a good move.

An Axe would be a dream! but it's so expensive for me! I'll let you know how the HD works!

Hey Gabriel
Are things as crazy expensive in Argentina as they are in Brazil. I was so shocked at the prices of everything in Brazil when I was there in September. -------------------- My SoundCloud

I was so shocked at the prices of everything in Brazil when I was there in September. Yes. Things can cost around 160% and 200% compared to the USA. This is because of the taxes that are applied also to the shipping, + importer commission, + the instruments store commission. If you can buy directly to an importer you can save a bit of money but not too much. -------------------- My lessons

Its going to live mostly in my studio but I got the foot controller board in case I ever need to take it gigging - I have a standalone rack I can transfer it to if necessary. My dream is to also get the line 6 DT25 amp that integrates with the HD - that would be a pretty decent rig with Bogner tube goodness I'm hoping for my birthday in a couple of months ...

Have to agree - I have only had a short time to play with my HD Pro due to family commitments, but my initial impression is that the models are so much better at moving from clean to breakup to driven, which the pd XT was very poor at ...

I know many ppl are saying axe fx is currently the ultimate in modeling, but from the youtube vids I know it seems to me to be a lot about taste as well. For instance, in this video, I actually prefer the sound of the HD500. Here's another sound comparison vid. I dunno, to me the HD500 sounds more fierce here, which I like.
What I'd be interested in: how much delay is there with the HD500 when switching a channel? I have some stuff where it would be nice when you don't have a short gap when switching patches (with my current X3 live there's like a 200ms gap). -------------------- My site: www.michaelcirak.com My band: www.terrateya.com Do yourself so much good, that there's enough left over for everyone! |
