I really like my Line 6 POD X3 Live. I recently had some work done on it by a locally registered Line 6 repair service center, and it performs like new. Lately however, I started thinking about buying an HD500x, and now after reading some of the "remorseful" comments here, I'm getting the sense that I might be good to just appreciate what I have and not be too concerned with keeping up with the Jones'... or Satrianis'. Yet, after watching the sales video (a couple of times), I noticed it has a Loop feature. Has anyone put that to use? And is this the reason why I want to upgrade? What is the reason why I need to upgrade???
Another area which I am concerned with is durability. After all, I took the X3 Live in for repair because the foot-switches were mechanically acting-up, resulting in "bay runs"; skipping bays and sometimes endlessly running - never landing on a bay. The tech said the plastic inside was wearing out from use... kind of wondering about the 500x as well. So, would purchasing Line 6 pedal "add-ons" help prevent that?
One last question: If I purchased the HD500x would I be able to transfer (or utilize) the effects saved (on my computer) from my POD X3 Live - to the HD500x ? Doesn't sound like it...
Anyway... thoughts or answers would be appreciated.
