I absolutely adore this thing. Filters sound nice and thick and I still use the factory library to this day. Just an all around powerful hardware sampler.

This was one of my first pieces of gear I got when I started building my home studio. Granted, now the amp sims seem pretty dated but at the time, having an amp sim with a full suite of effects and direct recording was a game changer for many home studios. Basically this is a souped-up POD XT with all of the expansions, dual tone capabilities, and a much easier to navigate interface. Pretty much a hardware form of the POD Farm Platinum. The high gain amps haven't aged particularly well in terms of sounding like a real amp but I still find myself coming back to it when I'm looking for some harsh industrial tones. The cleans though, actually kind of hold up. All in all, a veritable Swiss army knife for the bedroom guitarist.
