I have not. But it does look really cool. I have a hankering to buy one to test out. I think that they are only $399? Several folks have commented that they like the Valvetone SE (?) by Vox. Maybe I need to go and buy both and test them side x side. Then return one or the other.

Went ahead and sprung fot the PODxt live. Two days into it and it seems very cool so far. My team is up this Sunday so I'm gonna give it it's maiden voyage. Spent some time today tweaking tones for the 5 songs we're doing; great big Plexi tones, some beautiful chorus/delay Twin stuff and one very cool AC 30 with some phase shifter. But the really cool surprise was some exceptional acoustic tones with the Pod floor rig and my piezo equipped Godin xtSA. Now I can do a quick change from acoustic to electric as is needed on a Hillsongs tune,"Glory", we do alot. My luggage is reduced now and one trip from truck to church is all that is needed!! YEA!
Will post a review after 3 services tomorrow.
Peace and God's blessings,
Jimmy

Are you going to plug directly into the PA without an amp?

Services went well this morning! The new Pod xt Live sounded great. The sound crew was raving, especially about the incredible acoustic tones from an electric rig. We run direct to P.A. and I have been using a V-Amp Pro with a midi foot controller, which I have to say I have extracted some pretty cool tones out of over the last year and a half. The Pod xt Live, however, is set up very simply and convenient and has some GREAT tones. Since this morning, I have been tweaking some of my Hi-Gain tones(I'm a perpetual tweaker) and I fully expect to have all my essentials optimized soon! Will keep you posted.
Peace
Jimmy

P.S. I have to admit, I am kind of saddened at the prospect of retiring my ol' V-Amp rig, it has served me(and Him) well. I intend to keep it around for a back up!
