ppiluk Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 The only difference is the 500x is about 20% more powerful than the 500. For the most part, the 500 will be more than enough to handle your needs but if you need a patch with multiple amps or multiple delays you might want to look at the 500x. I have the 500 and I play mostly blues and rock and I have never had a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinon2 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Unless you find a used 500 for pennies on the dollar (new will be tough to find at this point), you may as well just get the 500X...it has sturdier footswitches, and the models are all the same anyway.

Thats a good point about the foot switches...I forgot to mention them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duncann Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 The 500x has a screen with better contrast, if that makes a difference. And the power supply for the 500x is quicker to turn on and has a rectangular, more saturated led as opposed to a lime green circle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
