I'd like to see a comparison of this vs. J-Station.� The branding is different; Johnson J-Station vs. DigiTech Genesis3.

Why "3"? I suggest:

1 = Line 6 POD

2 = Johnson J-Station

3 = DigiTech Genesis 3

Though more historically fair might be

1 = Tech21 SansAmp, or DigiTech 2101, or DigiTech RP100.

I believe DOD, DigiTech, and Johnson are 3 names for the same company.
