I have a POD 2, POD X3 (anyone wanna buy it? ;-) ) and a POD X3 PRO. I see on some forums and on the 'Net that some people say that they are disturbed by the latency of this boxes. But don't listen to them, this latency is just a fraction of the latency you got when a real amp is more than some centimetres from your ears or a microphone. :-) I do also have some real amps (a JC 120, a Twin Reverb and Cube), but prefer modelling. My subjective meaning is that some real amps might be better when you play alone, but the guitar sound easily sounds best in a mix when modelled. I know that some studio engineers hate modelling. You should let your own ears decide, it's no right and wrong here I believe. But to go in a studio or stage with a FCB1010 and a POD X3 PRO is not the most clumsy thing you can do. You will quickly find a sound that fits in to the situation. Jostein
