hi all im new to forum got my 11r on the way i hope its here tuesday. im a pod live xt owner and i went to local music shop to test out the new hd500 it has decnt sounds and flexablitiy but for studio use i think the 11r wins hands down i mean who wants to bend down to make adjustsments all the time. now with that being said the pod has alot of midi routing imma try and hook the pod up to the 11r and use it as the foot controller
plus i have all the mod packs so ill use some effects and what not to round out the whole gambit of possiblities you can swuesse out of both units and still use protools. the bottom line is the pod hd500 is 400 bucks cheaper so you budget users still can get a great sound at a fraction of the cost but im sold on the 11r i think it will be a vauleable tool for many years and look to the future to see some downloadable mod packs.
