IMHO, The Line6 products are BY FAR the best out there.

PodXT
Vetta
Flextone III

They have SO MANY effects and killer tones, you will never run out. They also use software updates so you get new amps and effects. I used to use a Bradshaw switcher and vintage amps and effects and blah blah blah blah... No more of that pain in the butt now.

Just my .00002 cents.
