I have a Pod XT, but right now can't afford a new computer or Digital HD mixer and monitors. Saw the Fender G-dec in action and it can be cool jamming along with a cd player. I have a number of backing tracks I have never put to good use. At $269 US, it can do a number of things for the money. Would love to get the pod attached, but don't know of a good way. Please check out the link and let me know if I am going to be sorry.
