I'll make this short and sweet.
My POD has been reliable for the entire time I've had it. Very durable, lasted touring, used for studio sessions with no complaint. The cleans are nice and the effects usable but god was the distortion off,felt watered down and weak. I never could get a good lead out of that thing.
So I bought an Axe.
Notes:
Lightweight my ass. Lighter than most amps, still the heaviest thing in my rack. My Crown Poweramp is lighter (Replacing with a matrix soon)
Tone: Miles above the POD in everyway. Dynamics are where they should be. Amps act like the real models. Hell, EVEN THE PRESETS SOUND GOOD!
Axe Edit: Like the POD's editor. Great program though it randomly stops communicating with my Axe. Could be win 10 acting up or USB suspend kicking in. I'll investigate
Set up: As crazy as you make it. I was up and running in 10 minutes.
I'm very happy with this unit. I've wanted it for years and when I got it was pretty honest with myself. It lives up to the hype. At 5 times the price of the HD500X it needed to. The only downside it the weight. I'm going to use the POD as a controller until I can order the MFC.
