    The original TS9 and infact all the infamous 9 serious were made by Maxon but licensed to Ibanez. One they quit the production, Maxon started their own based on 9 series. Now Ibanez has a poor reissue and Maxon beats everything hollow.

    Which P-90s does EMG make? I've never seen anything on their website!

    Why Zoom GFX1 ? Why dont you get some expensive Rack setup for you. Why settle down for a Marshall Half Stack. Why not full stack with Wall of Celestion Cabinets like Van Halen.

    Aah
    You must...IMHO (and I'm no dissing the GT-8, it is decent for what it does) it has much more realistic amp modelling and none of the fizziness of GT-8 distortion.
    74 amp models most of which are really good (the Dual Rectifier just had me goggling in disbelief because there was a guy in the shop playing through a Dual Recitifer and we sounded EXACTLY the same), ability to have a PC patch editor (which is super easy when you compare it with the complexity of the GT-8) and a much better laid-out pedalboard. Downers-only one amp model, but do you really need too? Also doesnt have picking sensitivity (which anyway no digital device does well I think except the Tonelab).

    Ho hum.
    I agree BOSS products ARE fizzy.
    but regarding the pikcing response, I have checkd out the Overdrive feature (I guess modelled on BOSS SD/OD-1/2) that one is really responsive.
    + Boss gt8 also has a patch shifter which is tied to your picking style.

    Yeah I know the one you mean. But again, that's an on-off kind of thing (and honestly I think it's quite gimmicky). It's not that sudden overdriven sound you get when you pick hard on a tube amp. I don't think they have that sound down yet.
    If you want bells and whistles and gimmicks (like the godawful sitar emulation on the GT-8) then of course it's better. On absolute tone and closeness-to-the-real-thing parameters, the POD scores every time. I have a video of Eric Johnson, Scott Henderson and the King's X guy playing through an XT and they sound just like their real tones. I don't know if that's still possible through a BOSS product because their amp sim technology is still the paleolithic COSM, even though their effects are much better still.
    And Meshuggah, Evanescence and Trey Gunn both use the PODs and Vettas as their primary amps live and on record.

    I played through a Line 6 GuitarPort which is supposed to be the same as the pod and i found it too good. The tones from that thing were unbelievable compared to all the multi fx i've played. I heard that even their amps too are too good. i wish i could play one, i saw a video demo of the thing and i was floored.
