The point aboubt "much better sound" is highly arguable,
and POD will work with any operating system or even without computer at all.

IMHO, if you choose to pay for the sound, it's better to pay for a
hardware device.

P.S. My choice of guitar sound device (portable and suitable for a
small room) is PODxt.

Hi Dimitry,
That was just my own opinion. I've owned PODs, PODxts, Vamps, and line6 amplifiers. They all have pros and cons, and sound very good for the price.

So, I'm not saying that GR is better, I just find GR to have a better sound to my ears, and I also feel it more "real" while playing if that makes sense. Of course, if you need something to gig any hardware solution is more convenient and reliable, but (again IMHO) I don't think any hardware solution in that price range gets even close to GR's sound quality.

Anyway, everyone has different needs (and ears) and if Christian was happy with GuitarPort maybe all the options we're discussing are overkill for him :P

Saludosss
