I can't see why guitarist wouldn't want the amp option but hey, whatever floats your boat. I never even thought about looking at the M9 or M13, thanx Dave for that one! Keep on Jammin' Good to know about your take on the last sentence of your comment Dave. I can’t see why guitarist wouldn’t want the amp option but hey, whatever floats your boat.

Started with a Flextone II and floorboard, then moved onto POD XT Live which was superb. I skipped the X3 Live as it came out right after I got my XT (I was a bit gutted to be honest). Now I'm waiting for the deliver of my new POD HD300! It looks amazing :) To be honest, I've been very happy with an all-in-one system for years, especially these days as they can be run straight into your FX Loop. If you're not after amp simulation try the M9 or M13, very very cool. I’ve used Line 6 for years! Started with a Flextone II and floorboard, then moved onto POD XT Live which was superb.

My good on-line friend and fellow Brantford-ite Craig Peeler, can't say enough about this product. I asked him how the echo/delay effects were and he said awesome! Have you had problems with this section of the pedal? If so, can you reply back on this post for myself and the rest of the readers to view?

I love it. You can plug it straight into the board and it sounds awesome. Or use the usb to plug it into your computer and it sounds awesome. Or plug it into an amp and it sounds awesome. I just think it's awesome. haha the POD X3 Live is all I need. I love it. You can plug it straight into the board and it sounds awesome.

It will honestly help me in my final decision on either to pick one up or not. The link to Craig Peeler is a guy who has brought to my attention a pedal that he just picked up.

The only thing I would warn you about with a multi fx unit is that certain effects are grouped under one switch i.e. - phaser, flanger, chorus are modular effects and only one can be used at a time. You can have a lot of fun with them, but sooner or later you'll probably outgrow it. Otherwise, I have to tell you, nobody could talk me out of my first multi-fx unit either. If you're still shopping you should check out some Digitech units as well they may be a bit cheaper and offer the same functions. Best of luck. Ryan, Hey Chris

I like the distance that it has on pedal. When I phase into a note from full resistance to opening it right up, I have better control with it. I've tried the crybaby a couple of times, but it is limited in control, if you know what I mean? I have not noticed, yet, the noise problems that you are referring to. I have a limited budget, so I think that the Line 6 is the way to go for now. Check out this link to see what I am looking at, ok? Get back to me for your input because it sounds like you've been there, done that and got the t-shirt as well! Thanx man! http://line6.com/podx3live/index.html Hey Guitar Today, I LOVE the way you can use the Morley’s phsyical dept/control of the volume.

The distortion is somewhat weak and the wah is nothing compared to a good old Dunlop crybaby, but the fact that you can control the amount of wah is pretty handy. I used this pedal for a few years in combination with a guitar amp and outboard distortion box. The allure of fx racks and multi-fx units is that you are getting so many ranges of sound possibilities in one box for one price. The downfall is that they tend to 'mask' your guitar's tone and can clash with certain guitar amps (especially if the fx unit has amp modelling). They can also have noise problems and can be tricky to operate in a live application. Though they are often preffered for recording. And about the line 6 units - I read an article a few years ago where Weezer was talking about how many sound tech's ask them to use their pods on stage and set up the guitar amps simply as props.. Just some food for thought. The Morley Wah/Fuzz/Volume is a good pedal if you have an amplifier or suitable amp modelling.
