[FONT=Comic Sans MS]1000 of Line 6 gear wow Re2 well this uber pedal is a single unit distortion pedal, I too was looking to get the xtLive but I have had those types of floor units and they are awesome but for me personally when playing live I dont want to think about the patches and this and that I want just a great dirty and clean sound very simple setup that works for me and doesnt distract me from the music,that or perhaps my feet are too big like frankenstein lol.but the xt Live was on my mind first tho for recording and editing tho you cant go wrong with that unit as ive researched it too.let me know when youget it to see how you like it and stuff..[/FONT]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS]hey 6 Strings Id say get the Uber metal instead of mt2 I owned the boss and before this one came out Mt2 was the best for a fat metallic tone, you are limited to that tho,if metal is all you play then its agood buy too, but the uber is more versatile on the distortion I got a great vintage sound and a even greater fat MT2type distortion, and plus the uber has the noise gate which helps alot too, Id recommend the uber over Mt2 anytime..hope that helps..Ill post my settings for you if you Get the Uber, you wont be dissapointed brother!
