Thanks Apologist, lovin the idea of "sustain forever" as one of the tracks i cover is Parisienne walkways and i usually struggle to get that "one note" to hang on long enough..........so often the drummer has to come to rescue !! and that ain't pretty ! lol

Thanks hurghanico, lovin the "touch response" angle, i Do play that way and have felt like there's always compression (even when not added to the patch) from the XTL

Thanks Triryche, sometimes less IS more, i would rather have six killer tones than twemty six average ones.

WOW, thanks to you all so very much for taking the time out to leave your comments and suggestions, i really appreciate it guys!!!!

So it seems to me that it will be a monumental pain in the backside to make the change but ultimately would be very rewarding if ii take the plunge.

Don't expect to just turn on the PODHD and have great tones. Expect to tweak and learn for the next few months until you get comfortable with it. At some point you'll probably wish you had just stayed with the XT Live, then when all seems bleak and hopeless, it'll finally click and you'll be glad you did it. I'm actually serious... Be very patient. The presets suck and it takes a while to figure out how to get the damned thing to do what you want. But when it finally does what you want, it's really nice.
