Pod Farm vs Pod Farm Platinum

[guitarguru777]

Ok, so I have been messing with the Pod Farm demo and I really love it!

My question is pretty simple. Do the Criminal amp model, does it come with Regular Pod Farm or do you have to go platinum?

Also I am looking into the UX1 for guitars and bass and wondering if the pre would be better then my Saffire Pro 40?

Any opinion?

Looks like the UX1 only comes with Pod Farm not platinum as well

im pretty sure the criminal is in the metal shop thingy, so it will not be available in the regular version of pod farm (do they still sell that anyways?) get platinum!

the pres on the UX1 are for starters...nothing keepable, for demos and crap, they are fine.

POD Farm Platinum is far better than the regular POD Farm.
UX1 is pretty meh.
The POD X3 Live has improved converters over the XT. If you're gonna get any POD related device, just grab a used X3 Live. It's a great tool for home practice too, an X3 Live going through your monitors slays any practice amp out there and is obviously a lot better than running a high powered tube amp at low volumes

How would you judge either Pod Farm Platinum or a X3 Live in comparison to top notch software modelers (for me actually still Metal amp room)?

Due to the fact that I have no iLok I can't try the demo, which is a shame actually
