Value For Money :
Excellent
Almost all effects are available, except for a Detune for example, is very complete.
The technology is digital, it's a preamp modeling.
The effects and sounds can be edited from the bracket and from the software Pod Farm 2 (or Gearbox, more convenient because it allows transert sounds between the PC and the pedals, Line 6 edit the application no longer developed for windows 7).
Connectivity is fairly comprehensive: Output Jack L (mono) and R, headphone jack, USB port, digital output, expression pedal jack pedal additional MIDI IN and OUT, and I can forget ...
UTILIZATION
POD XTlive is quite easy to learn, but work on the pedal sounds live is quite difficult since it is necessary to look to get ...
In revance is extremely simple PC with a graphical representation of the various modules.
Note that the POD XT Live is a very correct audio interface for the PC, can record without latency in Cubase (ASIO good stable drivers for Windows 7) or any other DAW via USB.
The manual, I am voting no, I've never opened ...
SOUND QUALITY
The effects seem effective and realistic, especially the modeling pedals like the Fuzz or Screamer. The Chorus are quite sumblimes as well as Delay.
The reverb is a little worse but it is not essential for a guitar pedal.
The preamp simulations are also very good, and there are even pre-amp simulations, such as a Tube Drive on the sound output of my Godin LGX Electroacoustic I can to restore power and heat.
Finally, for the amplification, the rest must be plugged into a mixer and out on the PA, or else use a power amp developed for completely neutral, as the Tech21 Power Engine 60, which gives more realism to the sound of the guitar makes HP.
on the other hand of grace never connect directly to a guitar amp with a preamp itself, in the extreme rigor, it can be done through the Return of the effects loop of the amp to Chinte the preamp section. But I did this test including a Peavey Classic 30, it is very difficult to keep the sounds created on the PC to the headset or the PA.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it since its release in fact if I made a break of one year to try something else, I bought a used one then. But it's been over 10 years that I play on the Line 6 modeling, when the POD XT did not exist, I played the first little bean brand, POD simple.
It is excellent value for money especially during (Anyway, it is no longer produts, so hot to buy nine probably =.
With the experience I would do so this choice, but then I probably will have to turn to the all-new HD modeling, I am in no hurry ...
