I have a Pod go and I bought a headrush mx5 before the price went up to 499. I wish the POd go had more process power not sure if its because headrush less amp, effects but I like how it doesnt have set effects and I an use alot slots and not run out of dsp.I played with the headrush and no pc editor makes it a pain to edit,the pod go is easier to dial in great amps and effects,except those dedicated slots and run out of dsp isnt great.A mixture of both units would make for a great unit,just my 2 cents.
