I figured that buying the Pod XT is economically better since most of the time I either play with my headphones on, or at my friend's. I don't really need more than the 15W that's in my amp, so Pod > new amp? I have a CD/mp3 in on my amp, could I plug it in there? :>
I don't know if this helps you, but you can also play through your computer speakers. Just plug the speaker cable in to phones.
And you can record by using usb.
