Bro it depends what you're going for. The POD and the AX3000G really have their advantages. Like the POD is great for recording. I'm not quite sure about the AX3000G. I had a POD just sold it recently because I went completely analog but in my experience the POD was easy to use, great sound (pair it with a tube amp and it sounds analog), and it's uprgradable as well. You can download and save tones into your computer. (There are free user tones that are made by other POD users on the site, and you can pay for ones too, presets.)
hmm... you're talking about the bean POD, right?
between the Floor POD Plus and the AX3000G, i think they have equal footing when it comes to recording. neither of them have USB ports, and neither of their arsenal of effects are expandable. kung POD XT Live sana, ayun, iba na ang usapan.
DI BA MAS OK ANG AMP MODELERS NG POD? kasi yung Pod 2.0, astig tunog nun eh...
if that's the cause, you're gonna love the Floor POD Plus, since it uses the POD 2.0's modeling engine.
still, i'd prefer the Korg.
