Love the Pod HD500x but I love that the firehawk programs the tuning of the song into the channel when using a Variax. Correct me if im wrong but the Pod does not have that capability right? Would make my live show flow some much smoother with that function. I could play an acoustic intro, blues amp verse and chorus, banjo bridge, blues chorus all with switching channels and then next song could be capo'd or half step down with a single foot switch.
