: I would love to hear some input put on amp modeling/effect processors. I am considering Line 6 POD, Boss GT-3, Tone Works AX1000G and Digitech RP-2000. I play a Amer Std Strat and a Les Paul through a Fender Ultimate Chorus amp and every music style under the sun.

: Thanks alot
I am sick of saying this over and over but its the truth, many of these things aren't worth the time of day. Of all of them, the only with worthy effects is the POD. Yet if you get the floorboard, the final cost could cost over $500. I reccomend to anybody, to avoid these things at all costs. They are synthethic, the PREAMPS ARE WEAK!!!, and the effects suck. Buy some good stomp boxes, and you will be set. Why do you need modeling effects? You already have the real thing. You have the Fender amp which is very good, a Strat, and a Les Paul, you already have, what they are failing misruble to duplicate. If you were to actually buy one, stay away from the Digitech, they sound like shit, the pedals aren't sturdy, and they just suck. The Boss's effects really stink, but I heard the distortions are decent. The Korg, is ok, not to great, but not bad. The Line6 is the winner, but as I said for all the money you are spending, you might as well get the real effects, to go along with your real guitar setup. Just think of it this way, no pros actually use these things, but they do use the real pedals, so take that.
