Gt10 vs x3
I'm on this war for months. I owned BOTH. If you take a look, you'll see I'm registered both at GT Central and Line 6 forums.
I was a GT-8 user for more than 1 year, and I never was satisfied with the hi-gain amp models. They all sound like the same with a different EQ to my years, and always too nasal. On the stage, at loud volumes, they sound fine though. Then I heard the X3 amp models, and I became hysterical because they sounded amazing, and I had an incredible GAS attack, and I bought one. A short time after, I met the GT-10. Just like the GT-8, infinite possibilities of combinations with the two CTL pedals, I always loved that. Then everyone said "they improved the amp models!".
Another GAS attack... I bought the GT-10. And I became furious when I heard the amp models and they sounded pretty much the same of the GT-8, still nasal and terrible (but just like the GT-8, they are fine on stage, at loud volumes). If you make a search, I started a long thread showing my disgust at GT forums. Welp, bye bye GT-10.
Today the POD X3 Live is what I use. It sounds incredibly good at home, through USB. On the stage, it doesn't sound so good as the GT-10, you have to tweak a lot to get a decent sound, and I'm also actually facing a terrible feedback problem on hi-gain patches, (I play on a DT cover band, so I need some gain). When I stop playing, the feedback appears. I have to use the volume pedal to cut the feedback all time, and I'm still tweaking to find a solution to this.
The POD X3 Live has a decent editor and a librarian. There are a few editors to the GT-10, but they are developed by users and they are not complete at the moment (I'm a friend of some of those guys). Line 6 is often releasing new updates and features to the POD by online updates, easy to be done in minutes. Boss does not release anything, and when they do, it's a pain to update, and many many users fired their unit on the firmware update process.
The first batch of POD X3 Live had a problem with footswitches, but they fixed it and they are fixing the first batch for free, lifetime. On Line 6 forums you can find a list of the "bad batch" serial numbers. There are minor problems on the X3, but Line 6 is working on them and they'll release an update soon (at least, they promised). You can talk to Line 6 guys directly through their forum; Boss guys are unreachable, you can try to mail them.
As you can see, I'm a X3 guy at the moment. But the GT-10 is a good unit. If you play mostly on stage, I recommend you a GT-10. If you play on stage but also like to record, I recommend you a X3; the X3 shines on recording, with the new POD Farm (a VST plugin free to X3 owners), you can record a dry signal to your computer while you play your favourite patch on the X3, then, on the computer, you use the POD Farm (same amps of the X3) to apply the patch to your raw signal, and you tweak the patch while hearing yourself playing (the raw signal). That's amazing.
Other guys may expose their opinions, that's mine.
以上总结,GT10的舞台+大音量表现力好于x3, x3适合录音和家里,x3第一批次按钮有问题。 |
