Line6 Toneport GX for Meshuggah tones?

[elmoe]

I really love POD's for Meshuggah'ish tones. Thats why i'm think about getting an toneport GX + metal pack (BigBottom) because i dont want to spend so much money into an real pod (Used Pod XT 200€? New GX 59 € + 24,99 $ for the addon).

Example (Demo Player on the right): http://www.soundsonline.com/Drumkit-From-Hell-2-pr-PSP06.html

Do you think that i can get that sorta tone out of this thingy? Good idea or not? :zombie:

Thanks

the quality and sound technology is exactly the same. the pod is more flexible - you can use it without pc. besides that you can do everything with the GX/ux1,2,8 whatever too. I run my ux2 as a dummy for allowing me to use the gearbox plugin. so 100% digital, no "real" knobs. works just good!

thanks! das ist das was ich hören wollte

no problem. just give it a second thought. the quality of the preamp might differ. but I think the GX and the Pod xt should be even up. maybe the toneport is slightly better (i.e. less horrible)

Pod will come with more tones (minus the metal pack) but other than that not much difference.
