I realized today that this thing has one rather large limitation. I have the HD400 and on it you have 3 effects. The first is compression/Distortion related, the second in chorus related and the third is delay based. If you want to add compression and distortion, can't do it. You get to add one of each, thats it. I think the 500HD is better on this.

I think PODXT3 owners who buy this thing will be disappointed. I'm back to taking it back again. I do like some of sounds from a few of the amps. I tried to get close to a VH tone and can't seem to get close. The controls for the effects are not that easy for me. When it says graphic EQ I expect a graphical display to pop up so I can see the curve, not here.

There is no way this thing competes with an AXE-FX or the 11R, no way. Not in a total way. You may be able to dial in a tone or two that sounds similar, but in total its just not there for me.
