Another bit which may be important Hungus is if you gig it how rugged the unit is. The XTlive is supposed to be built for live use and so should be more rugged and more likely survive. Also the podlive would naturally sit on the floor - with the podXt I can only see it sitting on top an amp or cab and I'd worry about the chance of it getting knocked off in mid solo and either breaking or even just the power lead pulling out.
If you're not going to gig it then the XT but maybe with a floor controller pedal? Cheers, Tony -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer. Contact me for Audio Mastering Services and Advice and visit our website www.miromastering.com

QUOTE (Hungus @ Sep 20 2007, 05:07 PM)  Floor space deffinitly isnt a problem for me.... I have a room almost the size of 2 flat rooms lol! The odds are deffinitly stacking up against the standard XT.... I honestly did think there would be more to the live though... ANother nail in the coffin - the XTL has output modelling as well so you can plug it into PAs and different types of guitar amp and still get the right sound. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

QUOTE (Hungus @ Sep 21 2007, 09:50 AM) I wish this were medieval times so I could just go out and mace some one in the face... but I guess then I wouldnt feel the need as I wouldnt be so pissed about trying to buy an effects unit :|  The output modelling is so that you can plug your pod into different ajmp types - it comensates for the variations in tone between a PA whcih is essentially clean, nd a guitar amp which colours the sound in a specific way. The output modelling in theory cancels this out so it should sound the same through any out put as long as you select the right output type. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

QUOTE (Goliath @ Sep 23 2007, 04:31 AM) The output modeling is for recording, if you're modeling a cab and recording then you can have one of 4 different microphones to "pick up" the sound of the cab. If you're going out to a PA, then it gets rid of the added "microphone" level and would be modeling the head FX and cab. Or if you're just playing with phones. NO, we're all getting confused here!!! There are several types of modelling going n: 1. Amp modelling - the sound of a Marshall or Vox without really having one 2. The sound of recording that with a modelled mic in a modelled room The above give you the basic sound and all pods have it to some extent. They are designed to be played through clean amps so that the modelling isn;t adde3d to by a REAL guitar amp. For the XT Live you have: 3. Output Modelling (its called something else). This makes up for the fact that you may not be playing it thtrough as PA, you may in fact be playing it through a guitar amp, which would sound wierd given thatit is optimized for a clean amp. The output modelling attempts to compensate for this by changing things yet again .... -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
