Well I'm trying to change my POD 2.0 and shell in some extra cash for a floorboard amp modeller. I don't use half the features on the POD, and I don't even need the effects. Should I even bother with stuff like the GT6 or 8 (second hand) or the POD XT live? How about stuff like the new Korg AX3000, or the Digitechs GNX2/3/3000? I have no real budget as I'd sell the POD 2.0 and add some, maybe count in 300 euros/200 pounds. Thanks if you can help guys

Re: Floorboard preamp, step up from POD 2.0, mostly amp modeller?
if the POD was too much, the GT series will be overkill- only consider them if you love to craft sounds from the bottom up- i love to do this, but most guitarists just like to plug and play. they are very deep boxes.Administrator of the SDUGF

I found the solution...
Right now I have the Peavey 40 watts, that'll be sold. The POD will be sold too. I'll keep the Laney tube but store it somewhere while I wait to have a band. And with the money from the other stuff I'll get a Korg Pandora. It seems easy to use, and just as handy as the POD, for a smaller, better suited for me package. For the amp I'll get an LC15 and a decent Distortion pedal. W00t!

Don't fool yourself. The Pandora doesn't sound anywhere near as good as a pod. I'd also stay away from the AX3000, as that's basically the same technology as the AX1500, and overall I'd rate the amp sounds on that as inferior to the pod.
If I were you, I'd stick with the pod and get a floorboard extension or check out the tonelab floorboard unit. Outside of that, check out the award-session jd10. No effects and presets, but a great sounding, all analog unit. You might be able to find a decent deal on an H&K tubeman over where you are, too...Originally posted by Jolly...but then again, I'm so deaf I can't even hear myself fart.

If you just want an amp modeler and no effects, Line6 made a box like that, the AM-4, though it's considerably less common than some of their other products.

I have the Ax1500 for years but Iīm checking the Pod xt and a Trademark 60 by Tech 21(I need a change).
Hot Grits is right, the 1500 is not cool if you compare it with a Pod.
Donīt sell your PodOriginally posted by GuitaristHonestly, I like Scott's words. "There is a rhythm to life. Ride the waves."
And keep in mind that while nothing lasts forever, nothing is lost.
