    Uh, you don't think the Mesa Boogie has anything to do with the

sound???   Seriously though, I have a V-Amp Pro and I have friends who

use the POD XT.  I don't here all that big a difference when they're

played through the same gear.  Even if there was a large difference is

it worth the $530 difference in price?
