Quite a rig!
I was chatting w/ a buddy yesterday and I remembered when I bought my first POD, back in 2000. I went to the music store and asked the sales guy if they carried them or could order one.
Since they weren't an authorized dealer, he did what I've come to learn every music store clerks do - he tried to get me to buy a different product that they were carrying and then proceeded to tell me how Line 6 was just a fad and that their products weren't all that good anyway. Unfortunately for him, I'd done my homework.
14 years later - I really like my HD300 - even more so since I've finally decided to hook it up to the laptop and use the software.
