Line 6 model packs

longshins

just picked up a pod pro XT to use in my function band, it sounds fine (better than fine really but don't want to upset the Helix owners haha) but line 6 are still charging for the model packs, anyone know if they will ever be made free? The pod xt is long in the tooth now and cost bugger all to buy secondhand, I don't want to spend money on software for unsupported hardware that potentially could go kaput.

Do they still actually sell 'em? I used to have an XT Live with the all the model packs I shelled out for, they was good, but a case of just more of em rather than being much better than the stock ones.....that said, watched a guy recently doing his one man show w/backing tracks - he was using a variax into an XT Live - and his only had the stock models in it. Sounded good direct into his PA...made me consider buying another off ebay as like you said they're cheap as chips these days. But as of yet I've not bothered....I cooled down since seeing this guys gig...and realised I've got a JMP-1, GT-100 and a Digitech GSP1101...for home play they will do me....live I use a pedal board and a couple of real amps.

The 18 watt model is cracking on the XT, I had a GSP1101 too, great unit. I got a response from Line 6 and yes you can still buy the packs... I probably would if the whole lot was 20 quid or something but considering a high percentage of the models are crap its not worth it at the moment. Maybe they will make them free one day like the updates are for the Helix...

No you don't.  Electrons don't exist.
