Vox ToneLab LE, no more Line6

I have had a ToneLab LE for several months now. I used to use a Line6 FloorPod, which was pretty good, too. Line6 makes really good gear; I've had two amplifiers and the FloorPod. Never had any issues with any of the gear.

However, I like the sounds from the Vox much better. Maybe because it has a tube in it? I have used it with tube amps and solid state amps. Frankly, the combination of tube amp and ToneLab is pretty incredible. Using it with a solid state amp and piping that into the house is what I normally do at church when I play one of my electric guitars and it seems to sound OK without putting out too much stage volume. My preference is to use a tube amp and put a mic in front of the amp, but that is pretty difficult to manage, from a sound-guy-doesn't-know-anything-about-guitar-sound to stage volume issues.

I say try 'em both with your guitar/amp if possible. Guitar Center has a 30-day return policy, so you could make that happen if you buy from your local GC.
