First of all, I really want to emphasize that the POD X3 is kick-azz overall. It rocks very hard and has many great amp and tone models to choose from right "out of the box" plus, you have the added option to tweak it from "dusk till dawn" to make almost any guitar sound you can think of. I really do appreciate all of the hard work and ingenuity that must gone into its conception and manufacture. Thanks Line 6 engineers, pro players and techs.  I love it overall !

However, having said that, I also have had ongoing issues and overall trouble with the feet falling out of or becoming unplugged from the base of the universal POD stand.

This happens everytime I attempt to relocate the X3 bean to a new location, i.e. microphone stand, to, desk, to top of my Marshall VS102R Guitar amp where I tuck the stand's base under the carrying handle for easy access and accessibility while alloing the X3 to remain off the floor so I have less complete bending over to do.

Anyway, bottom line is that Line 6 bean counters need to let actual giutar players decide on the needs of other guitarists who are actually paying for and playing thru their products. The POD line all need to INCLUDE, low cost but essential supposed "extras" as "REQUIRED" when the new product ships, such as screws or extra plug feet.

As much needed backups, the " accountants in the back room" need to understand that we, as playing guitarists have already work hard and pulled hard earned money out of our wallets for their products once already and so, if they are going to engineer products like the POD stand that can come apart easily and think the product all the way thru as in regards to what an actual guitar playing and paying customer will need with the product, both immediately AND down the road.

This is my opinion and hope some others agree as well. If so, click "Like" at the bottom of this post so the "powers that be" take this advice seriously?! Thanks
