Hey guys! I discovered that Line 6 realised the new Pod HD series. You'll find the 300, 400 and 500 versions. I've been checking some video tests and it sound good. However I'm not sure if there is a big difference with X3. I've been reading on the web and some of the differences are that the new version doesn't include the double tone option and it neither includes bass & vocal preamps. This makes me think that maybe they decided to only include top level features. Line 6 also says that this new version has M series quality effects as well as a looper.
Any thoughts about it? Do you think that X3 users should buy it and get the new one?? Here I found a test comparing it to axe. However you must have in mind that this comparition is also US$500 vs US$2700. -------------------- My lessons

As far as I can tell from this video, I like the sound of the axe fx better. It feels more powerfull to me.

QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ Oct 12 2010, 12:01 PM) From what I"ve read, the HD pod you are talking about is using a much broader sample rate than the previous POD floor series. Essentially, it's using faster chips to process more of the audio you don't hear so that the overtones impact the audio you do hear. The result is supposed to be a sound that is more "warm" and analogue sounding and more true to the original emulated tone. I can't wait to try one of these. Todd I didn't know about the sample rate difference. Thanks Todd for the info! -------------------- My lessons

New "toys" from Line-6 are always great to check
I don't think I will be upgrading my X3 anytime soon anyway, serves me well, and it already has far too many things to tweak

This comparison in tone is not realistic, because of several reasons:
1. When playing through a device, feel and response is equally important as tone quality 2. When using the device, it's more important how tone sits within the mix, then without it 3. When comparing tones of two devices, comparing all other features (along with price) is equally important, not just comparing 3 models of amps 4. The person who is comparing could tweak/change the tones before uploading to YT (conspiracy theory )

I guess I'm too lazy to actually take the time to get a nice tone from line 6 stuff. I know the tones are in there, but I just get bored of trying in 5 minutes. As a matter of fact one of the reasons I'm not recording tracks/vids for a year now is that actually thinking of setting the pod tones stops from trying.
I just plug my guitar into my stomps and amp, and rock. But that way I can't record... sigh. And I'm sure if I buy some mic I won't get a good tone from the real amp either, since it's not that simple... -------------------- Guitars:

Sure there's a general setup with any of the Pod series, but once it's setup nicely there's normally little to no muck around. Flick a switch and your onto the next tone. Plug in a cable and your connected to the pc. The HD series they even got rid of the power switch for you lazy lot!
