my main gripe with the X3 Live versus an Amp and pedalboard would be keeping up with the wide variety of songs we play. With a pedal board you can instantly dial up any combo of pedals you want and turn any other pedal on or off. With the POD you have to program your pedal combinations and save them. Sure you can tweak on the fly, but once you switch patches (for a solo maybe) your changes are lost.
Let's say you get the tap tempo like you want for the song you are playing. You switch patches to play a solo. Your tempo gets reset. Sure you could use the boost or stomp to play the solo without switching patches. It's not a huge deal, but it's annoying sometimes.
If you have lots of time to pre-program your patches the POD is the way to go.
