Can anybody comment on the sound quality of the XT Live vs. the XT Pro; or is it all form factor and the additional I/O on the Pro?
AFAIK it's just form, I could be wrong though. I would go for the live personally cus' having the foot contol is useful and with the pro you'd have to buy a expansion board and they are fairly pricey.
The Live has an input for the Variax VDI that the Pro does not have. The sounds are the same. With NAMM coming up in a week, I'd wait until it's over to make a decision. Who knows what might be announced.
