POD X3 vs POD Farm (vs POD HD)

[oskob]

Hi!

This question may have already been asked but it's hard to search for it when you ned minimum 3 chars per word

So, is there any difference in sound quality, tone, effects or something, or is POD Farm just an identical replica of the POD X3, just as a plugin?

And secondly, is the POD HD better than X3/Farm in every way? I heard someone said that the X3 was better for metal. Anyone else share this experience?

Thanks!

PODfarm = PODxt/x3 tech = same sounds.

POD HD is a new technology = diff sounds.

So far, from what I have heard, the XT/X3/farm sounds are better for heavy stuff than the HD.

Just picked up a Pod HD today so going to compare it against pod farm when I get the hang of tweaking it.

ive got the hd500 as well as pod farm.

the HD sounds more realistic IMO, but pod farm is insanely convenient and you can get it to sound really good with some tweaking and post processing.

I would really want the hd to be better, just so I get a reason to get a real unit I'm on Mac so I can't use all these free awesome amps from LePou and Onquel etc... I'm on ReValver now which is ok for jamming, but nothing more than that IMO.

But I will look in to POD Farm! I'ts a shame that you need a line6 device or some funky usb dongle to even try it though x(

The jcm 800 model in the pod HD is completely on point! I'll get it when there's a software version

Good news for you. Lepou has ported most of his sims over to Mac VST + AU and Pod Farm 2 can be used with any interface with the recent update.

There is nothing wrong with iLok. Period. Just get one and try it, if you don't like it you can sell the iLok to someone for a very small loss, if any at all.

I love the iLok. I can go to my buddy's house and use my favorite plugins and all that shit without having to bring my computer.

You can authorize Pod Farm using the Line6 online authentication software. iLok or Line6 device no longer required.
