what's better for bass, the platinum version or the regular one? is the regular one missing anything stellar, as far as metal goes i mean?

here is the comparison chart between Standard and Platinum.

IMO, the standard version is useful but severely cut-down.
but for this price its a good deal.

EDIT: specifically for bass, in standard you get :
-Ampeg® SVT®
-Ampeg® B-15A
-Eden Traveler WT-300
-Fender® Bassman® head
-Gallien Kruger 800RB
 
Platinum version is well worth it.
There's some crap on there, but there's also some fucking amazing sounds too in there when you get your head around it

Aye,
PodFarm Platinum was one of the best things i ever bought.

there are a lot of "one-trick-pony" amps and modules in there, but there is a huge variety of them.

the effects alone, and the Cali Diamond Plate model are well worth the price.
 
oh thank god for this post, saw this price this morning at school and im in need for some advice.
was originally going to buy the pod x3, but since its a hell of a deal with the platinum farm here i was thinking of that one instead, is there a huge difference on the actual podx3 and the software podfarm?
 
It's on sale at a lot of other sites too. Musician's Friend and Sweetwater have Pod Farm Platinum for $149. It's on clearance so I'm wondering what new product Line 6 is coming out with.
 
I would only buy the platinum, I hate the cut-off versions, always leaves me wanting more.

I may have read wrong, but if I buy a POD X3 Live it comes with podfarm right? and all the model packs?

You can download Pod Farm Platinum if you have an X3 and the pod basically serves as your dongle. For instance, I connect it via USB and then just plug in through my preamp. You could always do a di split and track one in through the pod and one to your pre so that you have a Dry and a Wet track.

I personally tend to like the tones out of my Pod more than I like the same tone in Pod Farm. It's odd that I feel that way since there are more conversion stages (a>d>a>d) vs just a to d. Ordered some new converters today so I'm imagining everything is going to sound better soon.
 
so there is no difference tone wise between podfarm platinum and a pod x3?, in recording matters than i mean
