POD x3 pro or POD xt pro

[barricade]

Hey guys!

I was wondering which one is better...? I assumed that the POD x3 pro is better but the price is a bit lower than the price for the POD xt pro. Why is that?:Smug:

Other than the slightly advanced specs of what you're getting as clearly outlined on the site, alledgedly slightly better convertors are on offer. Its the same outdated (but great) modelling engine we've all been using for the last half decade.

So you are saying that the POD x3 pro is better? But i don't get it why it's cheaper... :S

It isn't cheaper, i think the x3 pro is around £450 vs the xt at £350. What inputs and outputs do you need btw?

Well...i'm buying it for my studio...so it would be fine to have all the options possible...
I checked the prices on Thomann...here there are:

If the x3 is cheaper or even the same price I'd go for that. The only possible downside I can see is the extra rack space it will take up, but who cares. It's pretty much like 2 pods in one. You could use it for scratch tracks of two guitarists simultaneously (I'd assume, from what I've read about it) or stack two different "amps" on top of eachother for more tone possibilities. Even if it's the same technology as the xt, it has more options, so you get more for your money. You could also plug mics into it for weird vocal shit if you wanted. I'd say go x3. Especially if you can get it cheaper.

Wow thats great from Thomann. I figure less people are stocking the old one now and maybe theyve decided to inflate the price as they are still in demand.
