PODxt - Cool little kidney bean
Just wanted to throw this out there for anyone that is looking at home recording, lives in an apartment, or is looking for versatility.
As I am leaning a bit more into electrics these days, I picked up my Les Paul and started fiddling around with my PODxt last night and after dialing each amp one by one tweaking the drive, bass, treble, middle, and presence, I remembered how good it was! So much that I recorded a track. I know there's nothing like the real thing, but I have to say that for the price you can get a really cool toy (I'm not talking about the PODx3 though, that one is expensive  )Anyway... my favorite amps last night were the Marshall 1968 Variac Plexi, Marshall 1987 JCM 800, and Vox 1961 AC-15; the Fender® 1964 Deluxe Reverb also sounded pretty cool but never could control the bass (maybe because I was playing with my LP) I'll post the recording once I figure out how to capo a guitar and not mess up the tuning

True. True.
I've based most of my best models around the Deluxe. I control the bass by going to a 2x12 cabinet Sim. that both smooths the highs and mellows the bass a wee. Bob

I have a PodXT Live (the floorboard version) and I really like it. Like you said, it's not perfect, but it is a really cool gizmo and it gives you the opportunity to try out a lot of effects and variations - though tweaking through the LCD interface is tedious; the PC software is much more friendly! And tweaking really is necessary to get a decent sound.
