The Apogee has to have better A/D/A conversion than the POD HD.Д¤. Related to this вЂ“ that I can run more than 8 effects if need be on my laptop вЂ“ which it the limit on the HDДЈ. My laptop has more memory, hard drive space and a faster processor than whatвЂ™s on the HD (or the Axe-FX or the Eleven for that matter)Дў. I have no idea what the hardware is in the POD HD unit (it runs up to 96k internally) вЂ“ but I have to think that:ДЎ. My guess is that theyвЂ™ll wait a while for hardware orders to fill up and then release a POD farm version.

The code for the models is already written and they already have a wrapper (Pod Farm). I canвЂ™t imagine Line 6 not issuing a POD farm version of the HD models. To put it in perspective however, you probably already have a computer and an audio interface of some kind so many of these other expenses are not critical.ДЇrom a cost perspective вЂ“ there is no comparison between a POD HD and a laptop rig running POD farm.

This doesnвЂ™t include a laptop bag, external drives (for looping/recording to), IRs (impulse responses), conditioned power supply, USB hubs, breakout boxes or other expenses. That $1995 for an Axe-FX ultra is starting to look like a steal (although the Axe-FX midi controller is $799 вЂ“ which makes the shortboard look better and better all the time)! Comparatively, an Eleven Rack Mount will run you about $760 or so. So for a live laptop rig (from scratch) orВ The price tag вЂ“ Part IIД¬omputer: 1000 + 150 (average memory and drive cost) +В $599 (Duet + breakout box)+ $184.99 (Pod Farm + Ilok key) + $199 shortboard = $2133!!!!

ItвЂ™s usb powered, well constructed and works really well ( except for the fact that Line 6 currently doesnвЂ™t support displaying patch names on the controller вЂ“ only midi values вЂ“ this is a big minus for live use вЂ“ because you have to stare at the screen to see what patch youвЂ™re playing.

I like the shortboard mk II (approximately $199 вЂ“ but it you may want to spend the $7-10 bucks for a 10-15 foot USB cable if running it live). If you donвЂ™t want to have to click on a mouse for a set вЂ“ you would need a midi controller.

You can get Pod Farm Platinum for $149 on Amazon (and for $184.99 get the Ilok key as well) вЂ“ This is opposed to the $299 youвЂ™ll be charged from Line 6 for Platinum alone.ДЇrom a software standpoint I use AU Lab (which comes free on the OSX installer disc) and Sooper Looper (which is shareware вЂ“ but you should pay Jesse something for the product вЂ“ itвЂ™s one of the best software investments you can make).

#Goog line 6 pod farm 2 metalcore upgrade#

If you upgrade to a break out box вЂ“ itвЂ™s a minimum of $95 more for the unbalanced version. An RME Fireface will run you at least a grand вЂ“ so letвЂ™s also assume youвЂ™re going to go вЂњbudgetвЂќ and get an Apogee Duet for $499. If you use line 6 gear вЂ“ you can get a cheaper rate on Pod farm but itвЂ™s usbвЂ¦ LetвЂ™s assume for a moment youвЂ™re going to go whole hog and go with a high quality audio interface. You really need a 7200 rpm drive вЂ“ and that isnвЂ™t standard on most computers so youвЂ™re looking $50-$100 or more (assuming youвЂ™re installing it yourself) and 4 gigs of memory or more (if not already installed вЂ“ again letвЂ™s say $50-100 depending on memory and model) вЂ“ so letвЂ™s just average $150 ($75+75) for memory and drive costs. If youвЂ™re running POD Farm 2.0 on a laptop consider this for a moment:ДЄ second generation Macbook will run you at least a grand.

For that you get the same ins and outs that you got with the POD X3 вЂ“ 16 amp and cab models (apparently the modeling is built from the ground up in a completely different way than the previous pods вЂ“ hence the вЂњHDвЂќ), about 100 effects and an onboard looper that can loop audio up to 48 seconds (in 1/2 time mode вЂ“ 24 in regular speed). Even as compact as my laptop rig is вЂ“ it would still be faster to run through the HD than setting everything up on my laptop. ThereвЂ™s something about being able to plug something in and be up and running in no time at all. One thing I like about the laptop rig is being able to set things up quickly вЂ“ but as a friend of mine once quipped about another unit, вЂњвЂ¦you canвЂ™t check your e-mail on dedicated hardware вЂ“ but itвЂ™s also much less likely to break down on stage.вЂќДЄnother nice thing about dedicated hardware is the fact that itвЂ™s self contained. I have been taking a good look at the POD HD 500. Having prefaced this вЂ“ with any luck this post wonвЂ™t make you crazy. One thing that occasionally drives me crazy is trying to find out about a piece of gear вЂ“ finding a googled link вЂ“ reading through a multi page posting involving specific gearВ only to get to a final point of, вЂњOh I donвЂ™t have the unit and IвЂ™ve never tried it вЂ“ but IвЂ™ve read the specs.вЂќ
