POD X3 Live or Pod HD500?

[randycrusy]

I don't know wich one I should buy... I want it to play it live and for my home recording studio (I use M-Audio fast track)

Another question... I want a Neil Zaza tone, what effects should I use? (I apologize about my english)

A lot of people here use pods. I know that a lot of them were not impressed by the PodHD series but I think that's only because it didn't live up to how much line 6 was hyping it up. I own the original Pod series and I just cannot dial in a good tone with it. I did try out the HD series and LOOOVED it! Even though it's less versatile than the original Pods, it sounds way better. Just go to your closest line 6 dealer and try it out. I would most definitely go with the HD

I upgraded myself to a POD HD300 and I am quite happy with it. This is an example of the tone I got quad tracking my Schecter tuned to B through the HD300:

You can get some pretty good rhythm sounds from it, Im however not very fond of the lead tones it generates
