amsdenj Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I understand the HD500 and HD500X has more DSP power, more effects and different/updated HD amp models. That's great. But I'm interested in using the POD for acoustic instruments: mandolin, Variax 700 acoustic, and bass, as well as electric guitar. My question is concerning the A2D, D2A converters, sample rate and bit depth of the HD500 vs. the X3/Live. Are they the same? That is, models aside, would the HD500 have better quality then the X3 for acoustic instruments, not considering the models? Note that I understand you can use effects to cover a lot of what the X3 preamp models provided. But there's a big difference. The X3 preamp models use the X3 front panel controls while the effects don't. This is a big functional gap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
