Hi,
For about 10 years ago I burried my band, my guitar and my playing, but now I have a burning desire getting back in the game, and some of my old bandmates are also up for it. But damn... a lot of things has happened in those 10 years. I've been using so much time this last week, looking for the right new gear to buy, and I just can't decide. I really hope that some of you, can point me in the right direction.
For now, I'm looking for some gear that I can use at home - for practice, and especially for recording. I play metal, so the primary target is to find some Line 6 solution, that offers great metal-sounds. At first I was really hooked on the AMPLIFi-series, but though I've done some research, I can't seem to find out, how the AMPLIFi-series compares to POD HD-series. Is it better, are the features and sounds the same, is it worse - what is it?
I can see the smart thing in the AMPLIFi-series where you can record directly through a USB cable, but if the AMPLIFi-thing is the soundcard, how do I connect some studio monitors for mixing?
The Line 6 POD HD500X looks great, but damn it's expensive - does it really deliver so much more than the AMPLIFi FX100? Are the effects not the same quality or what?
I hope you can help me out... thanx in advance.
