Thank you! That's exactly what I needed to know. My band bought me an iPB-10 and it's broke down already. Besides you need the iPad to tweak it. I'm using a hot rod deluxe amp that is great but is mono. We have a 3 piece and we center drums and bass. I like the stereo thing because I can get on both sides of them in the P.A. Maybe the HD 500 would be the best solution. I use an X-3 Pod with my DAW so I'm familiar with the set-up.
