To use it at home a pod is for sure not a bad choice, it is easy to use and offers many different sounds, and of course you can play it at any volume, so the neighbours won't kill you
 I would never use something like this live though, or for serious album recordings, it is ok for some effects, but a real amp will always blow away those modeling amps.

You can do pretty much whatever you want with the X3 live and hook it up anywhere. I even used it to jump start my car when it ran out of battery
 Anywhere withing reason, like a hi-fi system, PA, a guitar/keyboard/-amplifierI havn't tried it live at rehearsal or gig and I don't think I ever will, unless it's a joint where I can't fit my half stack and I just don't care. For recording I think it's instant excellent quality and less fuzz miking etc like you would a tube amp. For the same price you could get the Tiny Terror and a 1x12 cabinet or that Blackheart head + cab and you'd be sitting on less flexibility bit real tube sound. Then you'd need a sound interface to go with that to mike it if you want to record and no headphones. To complicate things futher what you could build is a closed soundproof box to keep the 1x12 inside and take the headphones from the sound interface. Surely some sound would leak out, like where the cords run in/out from the box. Like this, you have your pro guitar recording gear with tube amp, mike, closed box

I would say for home use POD is enough. For live it isn't. So no matter how expensive your guitar is, the sound will be always way better with pro amps for ~1000$.
With POD, it is like you're trying to strech a small resolution picture and make a poster out of it. It will be big, but blurred and smudged. But if you make a smaller picture it will be just fine This post has been edited by Ivan Milenkovic: Apr 30 2008, 10:44 AM -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
