I'm stirring up a hornets nest with this one . I have had a number of amp sims in the past few years, I even wrote an article a few years ago about them. My problem is my trust J-station which I love, is looking a little tattered from all my traveling and I'm going to need to an upgrade soon. I've had the POD 2.0 (things I liked but, liked my j-station better) I've also had the V-amp 2 (it was a good little sounding amp sim, but it was destroyed, don't ask) and I even had a Genesis for a brief time. Now a few years later I come to the same road I was at 3 years ago. I've heard good things from both PODxt users and V-amp Pro users, and I've heard the negatives. I'd add in the XT pro but I'm not going to drop the cash for better accessibility (and the Pod pro is out because it's 2.0 in a rack) . I like the A.I.R idea with the XT and a few of the upgrades . I like the rack and connectivity that the V-amp pro has . I've had hit and miss with Behringer ,80% of the time I'm thrilled with there gear , but I get a lemon sometimes (it happens) . Ultimately I'm going to try and compare both in the store and see what I like better , but I thought I'd see if anyone has done an a/b comparison.
