Is the Line 6 pod X3 any good?
I actually own a pod 2.0, and I believe it produces pretty good sounds. I normally use it for recording but have used it live when a large, all tube amp is impractical. Seeing as I have played through many boutique amps such as Mesa Boogie Lonestars, I have something to compare it to. You obviously will not get the same feeling as when you play throght a £2000 amp, but it comes the closest to anything I know. I adore my Pod 2.0, it is simple to operate and tough enough for the road, so imagine the X3 is just bigger and better.
