Got a JTV guitar and spider jam amp a couple of years ago. Recently added a MKII shortboard. I'm now in the process of purchasing a used pod hd500x.
Here's what I'm trying to do:
I would like to be able to assign guitar models and amp tones to a switch. I'm told by support that I can't do that with the shortboard-only assign amp tones.
But, I will be able to mix and save models and amp tones with the new pod hd500x.
Does that make the shortboard an un-needed piece of gear? Does it contribute anything to the equation, or is it superfluous with the addition of the pod hd500?
I don't play pro, I just like to like down tracks with the spider jam amp and play them for friends.
