So, word of advice - Never buy anything made by Line 6. I paid £350 GBP for an X3 Live, and less than 2 years later I'd had to take it apart twice to firm up the support for the PCB, as it bends back over time and ceases to contact.

It also got finicky on the top controls, and the power supply cracked apart since its not vented and was heating up a lot. Total piece of junk, and it was noisy too, since its badly shielded. Line 6 wont even look at them after a year, except for the VERY FIRST RUN, where they accepted returns after a year but ONLY for broken switches.

So, after some time using the X3 in its rather ****ed up state, and seeing its my 21st birthday, I splurged on a better quality replacement.

And oh god did I find it.

BOSS GT-10.

IT. ROCKS. (And it seems to be a damned sight more sturdy than the line6. Quieter at high gain too, with less chopping off of notes by the gate.)

Enough of that, pics -

I sat down with it in the shop for a good hour, and went through every user preset - As usual some good some not so good there, but I was surprised by the ratio. On the line 6 it needed a not inconsiderable amount of tweaking to sound good. This thing has a lot of nice, usable presets straight out of the box. I'd gig with one of these through the PA from brand new, no questions asked. (The EZ tone creator is pretty poor for metal, but the unit as a whole rocks face)
