I think everything has been said on the subject. I do not go back a slice, so if it is only the use, I pass by publishing on PC and not directly on the pedals (I do not play in my order, not live).

Note that the Pod acts VERY GOOD sound card in the ass of the computer. I experienced the day of a very serious crash of my sound card and its drivers.

9 / 10

UTILIZATION

Setup the PC, I have already said. Comfortable in every way. The manual is very complete and very successful French version as always with Line6.

SOUND QUALITY

18/08/11:

I use the Pod with the Variax 600. The marriage of these two is a great success. This is the perfect couple who perfectly complements (and perfectly monit respectively). Here, the effects are good to very good.

However, I experimented with traditional guitars plugged into the Pod, and I was showered by the result: No, for once. Scanning dramatically erases characters guitars inserted there. Everything is formatted in an identical or nearly so, and I hated it.

So, the idea of ​​me use the Pod for my other guitars as a collection of legendary pedal, I'm the square where you know ... nothing beats the original analog effects with traditional guitars.

8 / 10 because I bought it in the context of marriage with the Variax. I note down significantly if I had put the idea to use as conventional pedal effects.

OVERALL OPINION

18/08/11:

Used extensively for 3 years with my Variax, I turn Swiss Army knife: you turn, you choose from a myriad of settings ... too, perhaps, and recorded a track over in a mix. It sounds live.

Over time, however, the all-digital ear fatigue or perception. Difficult to explain, but there is a monotonous, based on the absence of relief that is felt. Too far forward in the mix, it would end almost by disappointment. Then we must use it, but wisely. Neither the Pod or the Variax can not, in my humble opinion, be the only facilities of a home studio guitarist in the long term.

With all the ingredients offered by the pedal, the value for money is first flock, not necessarily by his side against.

I would do this choice in the same spirit as the Variax and for the same reasons.

7 / 10 because of the relative fatigue that can generate product (starting from the date, we must also recognize).
