I also think the Pod has a pretty decent delay, chorus, and wah.
Yes?

I have a POD XT and I love the thing. The versitallitiy of the thing is just great. I can be home recording one minute with it and a half hour later I can be playing a gig with it. I dont need to haul an amp because I can run it direct to the board and bypass any outside amp coloring the sound. From what I have heard the V-AMP is made out of plastic, my pod has a metal chassis. I dont worry about it at a gig and it has never let me down.

FYI, The V-Amp Pro is all metal rack case.

I have to agree with AlChuck here. I don't want the POD fighting with the natural color of a guitar amp. That's why I jack it into a clean power amp or even reference monitors and then mic up a cab or the reference monitor. That way the amp model comes through without additional coloration.-Richie

What I meant was a clean sounding amp or PA. I did not mean a "amp" by any means.

Since I have a Pod XT and not the rackmount XT Pro it would follow that I would NOT be talking about the rackmount V-AMP either. The regular V-AMP is plastic my regular POD is not, that is the comparison I was making.

I have a POD right now and I love it. I want to upgrade to a POD Pro, and I will eventually. Right now it's sitting in my rack on a home-made "rack mount". I bought the POD stand thingy when I first got my POD. I used it on a mic stand two times and after that just stuck it under my amp's handle. This summer I upgraded to a Marshall 1960B Vintage and a Mesa 20/20. I traded the local guitar shop a Valvestate 4x12 that was given to me by my best friend for the 1960B!! I was on cloud 9 that day and I've only fallen to about 5 since!!! That was an awesome deal... but anyways, on our most recent album we used a POD pro and a Vetta and I loved both of them. I get an AWESOME sound out of my POD through the Mesa and the Marshall. The only upgrade I want right now is a POD Pro because it is only 2 spaces and looks much better in my rack than does the POD stand bolted to a rack shelf... lol... and it also has digital outs and I could really use those for recording (our band is about to invest in some gear... prolly a MOTU 828 and a Mackie BabyHUI). I play in a Christian band and we play everything from alternative Praise and Worship to Christian Metal (check www.mp3.com/uncondemned... our new stuff is much better, tho, and will be completed and up soon). I wouldn't trade my POD for anything but a POD Pro. As is, I don't have any plans of getting rid of it, HOWEVER I've considered buying an MP-1 or something similar and using that WITH my POD and using MIDI to control it. I couldn't ask for more for what I have (except the Pro version). I am a happy POD user! Sorry this post has been so scatter-brained... lol. I hope someone is able to find SOME sort of useful info out of it.

I paid 130 Bux for my V-AMP2 over a year and a half ago. I can get 100 Bux with no probs.
No "gimmics" with a V-AMP2, just great sound.
A friend just bought a used POD Pro for 200 Bux. It sold originally for 700 Bux Street. Resale value?

Same here Bro, except I've been using my V-AMP2 recording, jamming, rehearsing, and live for 1.5 years. The "plastic" thing has survived several hard falls due to stupid morons.

The thing is, I probably would have opted for the V-Amp had I discovered it before I started reading the hype about the Pod. I will say this, I havent really heard anyone who owns a V-Amp ever complain about the sound they get out of it. On the other hand you go over to the L6 message boards and there are quite a few Pod owners that feel that they should be getting better sound for the price they paid.
