Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone has experience with these, could you please tell me how is the GT-10 better than the ME 70.

It's more expensive, so it's got to have something that the ME 70 doesn't. Could anyone tell me what that might be ?

If your going to buy a new boss g-10 you should look at a line 6 pod hd it may prove more usefull to you because of the amp moddeling. The boss distorion is pretty useless tbh so... just curious what is your current gear.

My current gear is a custom ash guitar with seymour duncan distortions through a line 6 75w combo. I didn't hear any good reviews about the HD pods, are they any good?

Much better amp modeling than the equivalent units from other companies, the effects are more or less as good as the boss, but let me ask you, are you planning on playing this through your spider? or are you going to use this in another way? I wouldn't recommend using it through the spider, modeling pedals through modeling amps rarely produce good results, so just keep that in mind.

Buy a new amp instead.

Besides the fact that I agree that what you really need is a new amp...

The GT-10 basically has way, way more functionality than the ME-70. On top of that, it sounds a lot better. The FX in it are really good, arguably better than the Line 6 HD stuff. That said, the Pod HD totally destroys the GT when it comes to amp modeling, as has been stated. So it really depends on what you're going to be using the unit for, and how cheap you can get them.

Budget? - I could spend up to 500$, give or take 50.

Genres? - I play gothic rock, darkwave and gothic/death metal, The Vision Bleak, Septic flesh, Fields of the Nephilim, The Mission UK, The Cure, Akercocke, that sorta thing.

New or Used? - Not really important as long as it functions properly and isn't too distressed.

Home or Gig? - Gig, but I can't really move a 400w amp around, so something practical. That's why I'm thinking of getting a processor, cause I'm thinking of recording with it, too.

Closest City? - Let's say Glasgow, cause I'll go to college there and I'll probably get it in September this year.

Current Gear? - Current gear I use the most - Custom ash guitar with kickass active SM pickups through a Line 6 76w combo which I totally can't take with me to college. I, of course, would like to have awesome tube equipment and an fx processor to plug into it, but I am still a student and have to get things one at a time. So I decided to start with the fx processor.


EDIT:
I should probably get the GT-10.

You should definitely get a Line 6 POD HD500, if you're going to be recording with it. The GT-10 amp sims are garbage in comparison.

Also look into some decent monitors for your computer, so you can play through that if you want to.

And what about a POD XT LIVE? My friend has one and is selling it. Is it very different from the pod HD ?

EDIT:
yeah, I saw it doesn't even have a looper... Well, will the HD sound good in a tube ampp later on? :?

And there are some pretty lame reviews about the HD 500. I'm really not into it after some research. Aren't there any similiar alternatives?

I don't know much about the XT. I think it's from the previous generation of modeling than the HD stuff.

For amp modeling, there is no other $500 unit that is better than the HD500. It's the best unit out right now. You should listen to it, try to use one yourself if you can, rather than just read reviews, which are typically useless.

Thank you very much for the feedback. What would you say about this idea - a TC electronic nova system processor and an Ibanez weeping deamon wah.

I don't think the TC stuff has amp modeling, I think they are strictly MFX units. If you're running it in conjunction with an amp, that's fine, but on it's own it won't be able to do anything.

The TC effects are very good though.

I also quite like the WD7. It's kinda unique.

Ugh. Well what about the cheaper HD models, what do they lack ?

they cant use as many FX at the same time, and they are missing some of the amp models.
The HD 500 can also be used with a Mic as a vocal processor. But even the HD 300 is very good.

Glasgow? As in Scotland?

If so, the giving your budget in pounds would make life easier!

Yeah, I'm not really sure

I'm from Bulgaria and in local currency, I am a rich man myself, I worked as an usher in a theater and my parents buy me amps and stuff, I even got a custom guitar, but in pounds, all Bulgarians are pretty much poor like church mice.

EDIT:
Anyway, It looks as if the HD 300 and 400 have no chorus and flanger, only some phaser and filter and tremolo which are kinda hard to integrate in my kinda music. Am I wrong, do they have some modulation effects ?

They should have some, but I know they don't have nearly as many as the 500.
