All these higher-end outboard products also allow you to reamp a prerecorded dry signal (as do obviously the amp sim plugins). The Eleven Rack, Axe-FX II or higher-end Line 6 products can be used as an audio interface or keep the amp/guitar signal in the digital domain over S/PDIF etc. The cheap analog output stage of the Pod and having to go back into another interface is a big issue here. The Eleven Rack or Axe-FX II simulations and overall sound are dramatically better than your Pod. The Fractal Axe-FX II can do more, but I suspect is out of your price range. You can even get the Eleven Plugin bundled with this, see the promos at

I would encourage you to look at the Avid Eleven Rack, which gets you all this and more in an outboard box, and full copy of Pro Tools 10/11, available for not much more than $600 or so. What DAW are you using now? or want to use? What guitars? What type of guitar playing/music are you into? How are you planning on tracking drums or are you using a VI for that? If there are any recommendations I would love to hear them, I do not do this professionally so cheep is good, but if there is one that costs a bit, but really stands out above the rest, I would be interested. I want to know first, if people think these kinds of plug ins are a waste of time and I should find a way to just record via mic, or if these plug ins can give a decent enough recording in a pinch. I know there are plug ins out there that are not only amp models, but also model mic position, room size, and other factors. Right now I am just using a Line 6 Pocket POD and going directly into my interface. My issue is, I am to the point where I can mix and master at a level that exceeds the quality of my line in recordings. For those reasons line in can be very desirable for me. Furthermore, the audience I would be recording are just hobyiests as well and will not often have amps with a good sound, and the environments I will be recording in will have little to no acoustical prep work done. I live in an apartment so when I record myself I always do my guitars line in to avoid pissing off the neighbors. I'm a hobyiest that's looking to record other bands and not just myself.
