Sorry, I don't know if the modeler questions go in this forum or amps...
Anyway, I have been using a PX4D for a month but I'd like to upgrade to something a bit better, with better sound, a bit more effects (real life effects, please, I don't care for "Canyon" much).
PC connection via USB is a plus with the PX5D, and I feel I would feel at home with it, but I have listened to Youtube videos using both Panderas and PODs and the PODs seem to have a better sound. It also seems that people can take their POD to rehearsals and even gigs and use it as a convincing effect rack.
So what would you be your advice?

Different models of the same brand should be using the same algorithms to process the sounds so I would think they will sound about the same.
If you want a better sound, perhaps looking for a processor of a different brand may be a better choice.
EDIT: I just realized PD is the pandora and POD is the Line6 silly me! but year i mean if you don't like the PD4, then a PD5 may not be a good idea, a different brand like the Line6 will be a better choice.
Hi there,
I have the Korg PX4b and I have owned all the different bass pod's from Line 6. I like the Pandora for practice. The amp sims in that little box sound better to me than most practice amps, especially through a good set of headphones. Now for live use I always thought it was lacking. It just didn't seem to sound as good going through an amp. They may have fixed that on PX5D but I've never used one so I can't comment.It does look like they added a bunch of features though, USB, foot switchable,etc
But I really enjoyed the pods. My problem was that I could never stop tweaking! I was always messing with something, compressor, overdrive, chorus you name it. So many possibilities. I think the Pods have a step up on the Pandora's for live use. Just my 2 cents. Take Care,
Brent
