Hi, I just bought the POD500X. This is my very first L6 equipment. I remember not liking L6 back in the day. Always stuck with CRATE and BOSS. I've always used BOSS pedalboards, no single pedals. (it gets quite expensive). So I got this last week and I'm in love with it. I've been told that it's an amazing pedalboard and others tell me that it has been outdated. But, so far I'm happy with my purchase. It's not cheap, but I know it's money well spent.
