http://line6.com/pod20/ is the Guitar Pod. I have an older model though.

I have had my American Strat for about 20 years now but just recently bought a Epiphone Les Paul Custom Pro and I love the sound of it. I bought it after watching numerous videos comparing the sound of the Epiphone to the Gibson and they sound almost identical. Paid $500 for the Epiphone compared to $5000 for the same Gibson.
