simulator amp and speakers with some effects.

UTILIZATION

not easy to fiddle these pimples, often it is necessary to touch both, why the software is much more convenient. And also there is a wah effect on software that sounds good.
I selected some presets in the "song" and I stay dessus.On quickly found her a very suitable choice there.
Sounds to quickly capture all the buzz of the house, or is it my electric installation feared.

SOUND QUALITY

I like the simulation of Fender matter of taste. sound "Marshall plexi" is pretty dull, muffled, as far as the "JCM" is screaming. But hey if we could afford the original one would not be there.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year, with headphones. Satisfied with the sound and quality very usable presets unlike other multi effects.

Simulations.

UTILIZATION

If you can read, no problem.

SOUND QUALITY

Without being ultra realistic, it's still stunning.

OVERALL OPINION

This small bean cost me € 20 on LBC. Suffice to say that I can not have any regrets. It is frequently around 40 €.
Personally, I use it at home, when I'm playing at very low volume while having a large distortion, which is by plugging a Bugera V5 that suits me mieux.Il sounds as good with active and passive pickups, single or double.
Some devices of this type on the market are often "stiff" to play, it is very comfortable otherwise.
Tool to have in your gear closet, I think ...
Small video taken:

Everything has been said.

UTILIZATION

I use it in via computer music editing software .. never tried to set it manually ... but it seems a bit complicated ...

SOUND QUALITY

Read below.

OVERALL OPINION

I have the Pod XT Live and X3 HD Desktop .... and I must say that from the point of view value this pocket pod than its big brothers (personal opinion of course). Realistic sound and well balanced. All combinations are obviously not good (especially the Hi Gain and Cab 4x12'' in general). So I prefer to use other Cab (2x12'' black type Panel). As usual attention to acute use sparingly as a combination. Opportunities second setting "Toggle" (plus 4 bands) are useful for tweaking the sound.

Brief incredible multi effects not only for amateurs. Small device that can be easily illusion in my studio vis-à-vis more expensive rigs. I would take it step on the other hand concert ...

editable digital effects to prefer the software.

UTILIZATION

It takes time to adjust its settings, but I hasten to tell you that I have found 4 sounds I backed up and to which I would say it works very well (one clean, one crunch, one distortion for rhythm, one for distortion leads), and I do not use it more! I think this amp as all other, keep it simple and direct, he will answer! And it is your ability to make your guitar sound that make the maximum.
The manual is brief and sufficient to navigate.

SOUND QUALITY

With my Fender Tele and my Gibson Flying V.
I already have the Line 6 POD 2.0, 4 JMP looper and Pocket Pod I use for my guitar lessons, connected to a Marshall VS15R.
Overdriven sounds are good, clean sounds it takes longer to find.

OVERALL OPINION

2 years of use, rather like the POD 2.0, good price, again without regrets.

The pocket pod includes great models of amps and cabinets. It is small, red kidney shape just like it's bigger brother, the POD 2.0. About the size of a handheld tuner, Pocket POD is the only personal amp modeling and effects processor packed with over 300 custom presets dialed in by rock stars and professional studio musicians who know great tone. With its 32 classic and modern amp models, 16 cab models, and 16 effects, Pocket POD enables you to create mind-blowing guitar tones wherever inspiration strikes.

This unit is available brand new for $129.99 at American Musical Supply. I was looking for something small and portable I could take to friends house for garage jams or recording sessions. I also wanted something that I could just use as a mini practice tool with headphones.

<a href="http://www.pittsburghwebfoundry.com">http://www.pittsburghwebfoundry.com</a>

This pocket pod has great samples. You get the POD, batteries (4 triple AAAs), and then software. It has a CD and mp3 in, any 1/8' audio type will work. 1/4 inch out jack. About 300 preset patches. Different bands and popular songs you can play along with.

It does not come with a DC adapter. A little complicated to get working because of multiple button press configurations control various functions.

It's great. Good fit and finish, small size is not necessarily difficult to operate.

Overall, a great little gadget with some great patches and models for under $130, but would be a super deal if you found it under $100 used on eBay or Craigslist.

This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

This is the miniature version of what put Line 6 on the map: The Pod. There are two versions of the Pocket Pod. One with a screen and one without. I am reviewing the Pocket Pod with the screen. I don't see how I could use this device without the screen.

I was looking for a nice headphone amp to use when I couldn't make noise. I wanted something that did not suck. I ended up buying this off of Craigslist for $40.

I really like some of the sounds. Some are terrible, but hey, different strokes for different folks. There are some very usable, inspiring tones. I would even consider recording with this device to get some layered guitar tones or effects in a pinch.

I like that there is a 1/8' input for my MP3 player. It makes learning songs really simple.

I really like the tap-tempo effects. I'm not very technical, nor did I have a manual, so being able to figure this device out on my own was a big plus. I did upgrade the firmware which was a pain, but I did not notice any changes whatsoever.

I don't like that the power jack is cheap. The device will shut down, then I need to unplug my guitar and replug it into the input jack, since the input jack powers the device

Besides the power jack this unit is built tough. I have dropped at as well have let it get rattled around in a book bag. Just the doggone power jack. That is the only thing holding me back from using this live.

A great headphone amp. Not built to handle abuse or be used live. Definitely some inspiring guitar tones that make you want to play.

I do not return on the characteristics also largely developed in particular on Article Audiofanzine dedicated to pocket pod

UTILIZATION

We must be clear: the settings from the pocket pod itself is not easy (quoique. ..). In contrast with the software once the line 6 pocket pod connected to a computer is a breeze and the settings can be very "fine".

The manual is adequate and clear.

SOUND QUALITY

I am surprised to read some extremely negative view on this little simulator. Honestly it is possible to achieve very good sound.
Personnelemment I use the pocket pod in two ways: either as a simulator for home studio recording (I also use the Vox ToneLab desktop and various VST based on Cu), either directly connected to the line input of my amp Roland AC 60 (this amp is excellent for this type of use given its specific connector).
In both cases I end up with excellent results regardless of the type of desired sounds (clean, crunch, saturated). I find the correct dynamics (ok it's not a peavey, vox, marshall or mesa boogie tube but is aware).

The most abundant presets downloaded from line 6 some are remarkable.

I use it with AC power (with batteries too little autonomy)

OVERALL OPINION

I useful since December 2008.
and +:
unbeatable value for money
preset banks available from line 6 (no equivalent for my "old" tone lab desktop) which saves time for certain songs: it was good sound directly without wasting time hacking.
small footprint.
overall quality of the sounds obtained
the -
no USB connection to use the machine for use in direct home studio (I have to go through my tascam US122 interface or the zoom H4 audio interface mode)
difficult without the interface settings downloadable from line 6 (but this one is light and well made and very stable).

32 Amps, 16 pregnant the main effects (compression, chorus, echo with tap, modulation effects reverb, apart from all here wha wha)

The machine is set to computer but this is less evident because the app is apparently at the rate of its development on the site and line 6 the portion reserved to the pocket pod is embryonic, but it should get better.

I lower the note for no wha wha and for the part incomplete edition at the moment

UTILIZATION

The configuration is as simple, are sorted by type: clean - crunch and metal + variants sorted by artists and anthology pieces.

for each amp all original settings are set, the correction (treble, bass medium) and the reverb can be added the effects we want.

the manual supplied with the pod is not very detailed but its full version is downloadable sue the site line 6

SOUND QUALITY

This is where everything goes!
10 seems to me a low score, so the sound quality is surprising for such a small device (in fact it is surprising simply the size and price have nothing to do). I use a Boss GT6 for recording, a Vox Valvetronix amp comple without an amp with a stratocaster american deluxe, and I was happy with the resulting sound. in fact, I bought this pocket pod to my Roland Micro Cube Boster and play with headphones on vacation and I realize that this device is simply merveilleux.jamais had my guitar sounded so good and especially so easily.

With good headphones it feels to play with a real clean amp close to sitos everything sounds extreme! And plugged into a PA system it seems to play better.

OVERALL OPINION

I for a week.
The batteries have held that three days is not much, but given the quality that's nothing. Anyway jai purchased the optional transformer with the machine.

This little thing is awesome, the sound is perfect, easy adjustment, the PC edition for now, she does not (yet I am good at computers, so I assure you ...) but with a little Practice all goes back to normal.

With headphones and closed eyes it seems that the amp's there next to you, plugged into a guitar amp c is less obvious but my Microcube resumed colors coupled with the pod.

Are you still there or you're already left your purchase?

I do not return on the characteristics: see below, but plenty to do!

UTILIZATION

Plutt easy to use, even if might be a little confusing to beginners, the manual is to help us, but a good going well.

SOUND QUALITY

The good is that it INTERESTED: I've never had a POD but hey I can compare it to the vox TONELAB with his lamp, for example, well-PP wins by far!

Branch and it was the sound on, I am among those who like to spend one thousand hours a hack to avoid the effects finally playing the guitar for an hour.

I took it to register directly on PCs and for the trip. The direct it, I connect, I sound even have to touch a lot of parameters: it is clean and not sound like a metal zone branch directly above! The sound is plutt pais, round and consistent, not something gaudy that hurts the ears!

I use a lot of presets and metal crunch for blues and rock and well they send almost all the sauce.

Against by not trying to plug it into a lamp or transistor amp either directly or through the effects loop: the PP has not made for it seems, even if the manual prtends otherwise you will not leave and nothing really good.

veil: in short, the size / quality of the small bte is simply amazing!

OVERALL OPINION

I for one week, I'm really happy, still see the long term.

The report qualitprix is ​​fairly good compared what is on the market.

Great for direct recording to PC, ideal for those who want to play and not waste time Setting (trs presets are good "doss" for most) and also for travelers, given the size and audio quality with headphones is good trs.

See other opinion, Line 6 website (yes I know, lazy!)

UTILIZATION

For the interface is the bare minimum! But the philosophy of this Pod is clear: play! And that is what is asked ...
However strong the sound editor on PC, tlchargeable from the site. Essential if we are to edit the sounds in depth. Note that you can program the auto wah, but the graphics rendering DCON a little home and I can not rgler compltement. Some small bugs, but the software dveloppeur speaking, otherwise no big deal ...

SOUND QUALITY

Unlike Previous notice, I find the tone modlisations below the Valvetronix Tonelab and others. The effects are nice, some are modlisations trsrussies, but I find it against dnature quite the sound of the guitar, unlike many who respect the Vox natural sounding mics, while giving very sharp.
I had a lot of buzz problem of mass at beginners, it s'avre APRS several tests that I was using the power supply (though the quality silent in question. Therefore a priori power supply SPECIFICATIONS (Obviously not included), too bad! And if it is placed prs PC, plugged into the USB, headphone is a disaster! on the other hand of batteries and away from source of parasites, more problem. So to play a headphone in his room does it well, and lucky, that's just what I ask!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about a week, and I confess that I t doubtful to beginners. Same song I bring it back to the store to exchange illico or recovery. But I finally kept because I was looking first and foremost a portable device to play anywhere and anytime. Given its size and price, its possibilities are honntes trs. It's beautiful even when progress!

I would not stay on the dtails CHARACTERISTICS of this device, a simple résumé will suffice: 32 modlisations modlisations amplifier and 16 speakers.

As for effects, documentation 16 announcement effects but personally, I would say that there plutt 9 with a possibility to mix with the delay of seven other effects. Rverb only be used in parallle with other effects.

Note the prsence a tuner very practical.

The connection is enjoyable for the chosen formats: Jack 6.35 for between guitar and amp for the output, 3.5 for Jack headphone / direct and an auxiliary input (for CD, MP3 or other). The power supply is a 9V (-) center. The USB, which allows the device to connect a PC or Mac for the edition sets, is a mini-USB standard.

It runs on batteries (4 x AAA) or collection&#39;s outdoor food.

UTILIZATION

Reading the manual is Necessary for understanding the possibility of diffrent rglage standalone device as they are numerous and with only a mini joystick, four buttons and two potentiomtres must s&#39; hanging to get by. But within minutes, you&#39;re in the bath. Some paramtres remain accessible only through a computer connection.

Rglages are the ISSA and the display is clear enough that not get lost. Patches of origin are pretty cool even if the names are sometimes not very explicit. But tight deadlines to rename them via the computer. Moreover, the work record is more friendly to search the sound when it is plugged into a computer, as soon rglages all visible. The software does not require normment resources and can operate in a relationship with your favorite audio application (GarageBand Ardour2 or in my case).

In this regard, it should be noted that Line 6 has prvu edition of its software for Windows and Mac OS X. It is the site of tlchargeable Line 6 (https://fr.line6.com/pocketpod).

SOUND QUALITY

This is the highlight of Pocketpod: he&#39;s a hell and you get what you want easily with. There is no background noise when the guitar is clean. We believe that almost takes Arelle ahead a JCM 800 or a Vox AC30. The original rglages are fairly well even when respectsmme whether an adjustment period to find his marks on the magnitude and precision.

The effects, the quality is to go too. Good for the price, Obviously, this is not a professional camera and some effects are missing the call (wah, phaser and more exotic stuff) but we are surprised by your exact. Moreover, to better adapt to the use we make of the device, it can be set according to that on which the branch (with speaker amp open or closed between instrument with cover open or closed and finally, between direct console or recording device). We vritablement bluff your exact.

Basically, it&#39;s as if we did fit in your pocket what should be done normally get in a truck in terms of amps, pedals and speaker boxes.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it ... yesterday! I quickly took over rev and I do not t&#39;s quite the opposite, especially in terms of the software edition which is pretty cool, both of interface as its efficiency.

Its strength is its size / qualitprix: it is small, portable, with its exceptional quality of a relatively INTERESTED in what it offers.

Its weak point is the consumer: the set of 4 batteries do not work more than 4 hours. It is imperative to have an external power supply in order to work quietly in the studio. Note that the network plays an electric rle in the quality of sound. For example, I bought mine in a store that has the branch with a standard diet (which is not recommended by the manufacturer but ...) and I sound pathetic, with a lot of noise and hiss weird. I asked the new jacks, the same. Finally, I demand a game of heads to try the trick in autonomous j&#39;tais about to tell me he was not worth the boxes that he was doing. But with the batteries, the foot! Not a breath, not a sound, nickel. Upon arriving home, I finished the batteries taient in and I started looking for a compatible power supply and I found one: I branch and I was no problem, no sound, nothing. The electrical network of the store n&#39;tait certainly not all youth!

It is unfortunate that Line 6 is not used as a USB connection of auxiliary power unit to avoid the cables in the studio supplmentaire / homestudios.

Otherwise, it is only happiness! THE always wear his hand. Frankly, I do not regret my purchase or my old GarageBand or the sounds from my Alesis Quadraverb GT that has made me, what motivated my purchase ... Like what, c&#39;tait a blessing in disguise!

OVERALL OPINION

Trs disappointed by this pocket pod ...
This bug regularly, does not work on any PC, the controls on the device, I think, trs wrong thinking.

And above all ... The sound is sorely lacking in consistency, despite all the presets or rglages I could do, it was released as the slurry, the legalization trs is bad, it looks like some fr quences are dlaisses, it is boiled a big bass or screaming highs unbearable.

In short, I can only put a bad note, which goes in the opposite direction of all other opinions Submitted for now, but frankly, I advise you to compare before buying a KORG AX5G or AX3G, yet less expensive: I found the Korg not great before, but rose in my estimation since I got to buy this dip in m ** POD!

I can not even sell it, I too ashamed to intubated someone with this "thing".

Does everything said in the posts previous ones ...
Note simply by reading the card tehnique, it is better prvoir an alim ... ds dpart

UTILIZATION

The configuration is very simple, but it is prvenu ... see all items on the Pocketpod ..)

Remde A: note on paper the path of logic commands, and the value of DIFFERENT choice: carry such a paper, one would find it easier!

All fawns, do not go without the graphical interface to PC, free of charge from Line 6. This interface is very simple, and everything becomes more clear!

Point trs positive with small atria, it allows you to play guitar electric anywhere: you can scrape in his living room, his room on the train, and even in the shower room dentist's waiting ))) Well-sr without imposing his solos his neighborhood!

SOUND QUALITY

So the one is not far from the miracle!

I liked my Washburn X-10, but the amp comes with the pack WA15G dcevait me, and I did not know if c'tait guitar or amp ultimately responsible for what its not good ..

Well, once the Pocketpod connect the sounds I could get the whole are really thundering!!

I manage to find a sound SERIES (mtal of reggae through the acoustics!) Thanks the red bean!

So, I do not want to change the amp (because I actually a Spider III with her electronic logic, but his cabinet ..), most want to change the guitar (the purchase of stratum is a real postponed ....).

In short, it boosts you totally Pocketpod your instruments!

Given its price, there's no photo: must buy!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a month now, and I can not imagine without it!

100 euros for all these sounds, play o one wants, and you turn your stuff in high-end hardware ... This should be mandatory, and reimburse the state!

A piece of advice: go try it ....

There is a stockade amp 32, the best of Line6. No effects of distortion / overdrive (except the Fuzzbox), but by mounting the drive amplifiers, we get all Satus DSIR. MODELS 16 HP, which is all a big effect on the final sound. And all the classic effects: Reverb, Delay, Compressor, Tremolo, Chorus, Flanger, Rotary + a Noise Gate. No 12AX7 gadget. Sound editor on a PC via USB + than adequate and blackjack.
The connection key: headphone, lineout, Guitar In, USB, Line In a case in super Intgr but does not look tough trs.

UTILIZATION

Not easy to do some manipulations of the style or volume change gnral you have to press two buttons and engage the jack. But it's OK. With my large fingers, I often tend to change the bad rglages (the gate instead of volume), but the price to pay for extreme miniaturization. The little book is more than enough sounds and edition interface is intuitive and relatively easy PC on the case.
Cot positioning of the strap, I have not Russian: he dja dish 4 or 5 times, but the belt, cot left in there.

SOUND QUALITY

The is the large caliber bullet trs: the sounds are ph-no-m-ments and sound, whatever the chosen config or the amp, which is ultra-rare. And then pre-load the sounds are excellent and relatively dja balance volume, which is rare enough to be signal. Navigation between the sounds is quite rvolutionnaire since there is a search mode bank, by artist, style! on the case itself.
I love the VOX AC30 (I have a real, I can compare), the Tweed, the Brit (Marshall, I have a two 100W lamps). But my prfr may be the Blackface: what DEFINITIONS!. The Mesa trs are correct. Whatever the MODEL, the sounds are rich, feed, warm, complex. It's really impressive. Bravo Line6.

OVERALL OPINION

Two weeks and the housing adjacent supplant the Zoom G2 (sold), the RAT (sold). Has put the cart, so most of my effects distos / Chorus Boss or Marshall, and the tuners and qualiseurs. It simplifies the config: I do not care that the POD XT Live on which packages I and non-transferable rglages on Pocketpod. Depending on the mood I connect the Tech21 PE60 or I go into the effects return of the big stack of Marshall or Vox.
Use Exceeds far beyond the use of mobile or headset (my basic ide). Everything is connected rings of hell and all the guitars go well (with honors Gibson LP and a Tele). Twice as much, it would still blow. When you think it's a little more than a qualiseur. Line6 will stop or does it? Long live progress.
What do you expect?
