Thanks a lot for the response. If I did get the 500x, I'd be running it direct to front of house at church, which is the only place I gig. At home I only get to play when my kids are in bed, so its headphones only. Having said that, I've considered keeping the Savage and running 500x for some gigs and running without amp sims for those gigs. Can that be done?

Hi all, new to the board. I recently acquired a sonic port after years of hating on amp modeling. Being a father of toddlers drove me to needing a headphone practice solution and my church plans all of their sets (all of my gigs) on iOS, so it seemed like a good fit. Anyway, really impressed by the HD amp models. This leads me to wonder, could I use my M13 (see gear in sig) with my sonic port/iPad instead of my amp? Second, at that point isn't an M13 + HD amp models on mobile pod pretty much the same sound wise as a 500x except without the switching convenience? I'm wondering if I'm not better off losing the sonic port and M13 and getting a 500x. Having said that, can anybody chime in on how the M13 sounds compared to the 500x? Sonic port and mobile pod vs 500x? Ease of use of mobile pod versus software that comes with 500x? Thanks everybody!
