I'm in the same boat as you(HEADPHONES ONLY) and have tried this and that as well. Up until recently to record guitar direct, I used the SansAmp Classic with my own effects and I've had great success, but with much tweaking. That was with an outboard Digital Multi-tracker setup. Now that I'm using a DAW set-up(DP 4.5 / Motu's 828 mkII) I bought "Guitar Rig" a while back and I gotta say that I couldn't be happier. For recording, which was my main reason for getting it, it's spectacular. Great with headphones! It already comes with lots of useful and incredible sounds that can all be tweaked if needed, but seldom do. Easy to create your own tailored sounds and save for future use. Guitar Rig also comes with it's own very heavy duty(well made) expression pedal for Wah Wah, panning, volume control, etc. Apparently, it can be used in a live format, but I don't think I'd go that far with it. Assuming you're using a computer, you should check it out for sure: http://www.nativeinstruments.de/index.php?...er=MacMusic.orgGood Luck!

Hi,
I bought a Pod XT last summer and have been really pleased with it. I've been playing for years and have owned many amps, Marshalls, Fenders, Roland etc.
I wanted something that was usable not just on a computer, and that I could use the same sounds through an amp, even live, the XT has enabled me to do all this. The more I have used it the more I love it. Also I have had no problems, crashes ever. If I changed it it would be for the pro version to have more flexible i/o options.
If you have any questions about the XT just ask me!
Steve

[SIZE=7][COLOR=purple][FONT=Courier]  Hi Steve, I used to have a Behringer V-Amp 2, it's pre-amplifier you can use through your midi-Interface or soundcard or through a analog output. Actually I prefer more the software Guitar Rig for the computer, amazing sounds in it! I hope you'll have the possibility to try the V-amp before, I guess it's not anybodies favourite. A 30-day demo of Guitar Rig you can download on the native instruments website. best regards deejay

Pod's are great
I use the XT live board & a variax 700 for live & studio work....it can't be beat
I have two old style screens in the studio & the pod can be set on high gain amp settings with the variax on a tele bridge PU............WITH NO HUM
& versatility is awesome I play weddings sometimes which requires a fair number of different sounds & flat out rock & blues stuff the XTlive delivers everytime & it sure beats (in my case anyway) lugging a twin & a musicman everywhere
All the best
Isaac
