Okay I am a former Axe Fx ultra user. I sold it about two months ago so I can get the new AxeFxII. I am going through major withdrawal and had no idea there would be such a long wait for the new AXE FXII. Unfortunately I am around the 300's on the waitlist so it's gonna be awhile before I can get one. I know the list is not accurate but it seems to be moving at a fairly slow rate. At that speed it will possibly be a few months before I will receive my coupon. I simply cant wait!
Okay I am thinking of just going ahead and getting a PODHD500. I knw that may seem sacrilege around these parts but I need some new tone! I have listened to lots of clips on youtube and most sound pretty darn good, especially for the price. I realize the AXEII is indeed far better but it also alot more expensive which I am willing to pay but the wait is killing me. I am ready to buy now! If I had a coupon now I would buy now but that aint happening.
One of my main issues with the POD is the lack of amps. There are only about 22. I would prefer more amps but it is a great price and being I am a home recording musician and not a pro or gigging it may suit my needs. Does anyone have the POD HD500 and if so what do you think of it compared to the AXE FX? How is the tone on it? I play mostly metal so I need some great hi gain amps. The POD is a bit lacking in this area but what it does have it looks pretty capable. I also wonder if it will be constantly updated with new amp models like the AXE FX. Thats a big concern of mine. I really like that cliff updates the FX every so often with new amps.
I'm just trying to decide whether to stick it out a few more months (if I can) or just spring and get the HD500. What do you guys think?
Please dont think I'm slagging on the AXE FX, cause I love it and my Ultra was the best piece of guitar equipment I ever owned, I'm just becoming impatient as hell!
