All user reviews for the Line 6 Pocket POD

I have since the beginning, and spent the first 5 days he took the dust bin.
When the lighter is a circus to access the last sounds we played, no.
Not intuitive, and with all the presets are lost.
However, the buttons used to change the important parameters of a sudden one, and the settings are appropriate. It was after this gate is, when to save the sound to a logical location.
The USB port does not transmit sound, why I have a Digitech RP150 (in both directions, stereo siouplait).
A lot of amp models, effects are from the spider, and they do not break anything but the delay / reverb in the headphones is great.

UTILIZATION

Useful manual to decipher the intricacies of the parameters and the overall configuration.
The display allows you to baptize his own presets, this is good practice when you have 4 guitars and / or are not used often bean.
But good for the locations they could not be easier, pan 4 points lower.

SOUND QUALITY

Well, let's face it, playing with headphones is not bad at all. My korg ampworks flies significantly higher in all areas but there are more good then ...
Plugged into the effects loop return of a guitar amp is not bad but my micro spider is much better in this case. Pocket POD is pretty confused, suffocated, not know why since it's the same basic sounds that microspider.
So given their similar price, better to take the mic, better and more useful. I went from one to another, and sold on pp.

OVERALL OPINION

A funny moment, the presets sound all the same artists, finally what is a pod.
Useful headphones, batteries based Rapidos: transformer required (purchased separately, it comes with microspider is still a point).
But no more.
The delirium of the 360 ​​factory sounds and so is saluable artist, perhaps it will make a difference since in general there are two sounds and basta (and often a single equalizer) on our amps and there is not enough.
Modern times, far too much is not enough ...
Good news, Pocket POD Express is there, it is a version of ultrasimplifiée Pocketpod, ended the nightmare of programming. And it will not sound worse. If I speak ...

For specifications, see the other descriptions have expanded. Basically, we find what is on a normal POD, but smaller with fewer buttons, so much less convenient. The size would be great if once you have connected all the cables needed, the Pocket POD to ride at the whim of movement, being too light. I only use the headset, to repeat on an iPod via sequences. Once everything is plugged in, you'd think the poor PP on an operating table, with connecting son to life! once on a strap or belt, he still tends to walk too, so, not so great size that it

UTILIZATION

OSCOUR! There's fewer buttons than a normal POD and here's the rub! what a pain to tweak its sound, or simply reduce the overall volume of the beast! Backing up its own patches is downright hazardous, either directly on the case, or via the editor software. Speaking of this editor, never seen one as bad ergonomics damn for editing and saving sounds! it's nice, but I had to take the record to understand how to save a sound. It seems that the more they want to simplify their effects, the less they make sense in Line 6. Do not even try to make the issue more than a quarter of an hour after your pod connected to a laptop: terrible hum bowl of permanent ill-assured.

SOUND QUALITY

The quality of the amp simulators and effects are well made, considering the price. Must agree with the "No" in bold in the opinion, it's still far from a zoom 505 and other stews of prehistory. Let's say that value for money. The headphone, and Reassign gate of just about every patch (if unpleasant noise), the quality is similar to that of a normal POD. Despite a ton of useless patches, you get to be ten sounds that hold the road, whatever your style (or so).

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a month just to work on my MIDI break sequence, connected iPod, all in the headphone.
Despite all the criticism, it is a simulation of the few cheap, which includes entry to an external drive in a mini-jack, and offers sound pretty good. In short, the ideal thing nomad.
Compared to seniors, such as the POD XT, the Vox ToneLab, etc ..., it is below, but it's much cheaper too.
The limit value for money is limited, but hey, that Line 6 would continue to take the quality down.
For mobile use, there are few alternatives. All (except the guitar of course) is a small shoulder bag with no problem.

Well ... I will not go back on CHARACTERISTICS they st prcises enough elsewhere.

UTILIZATION

I m'tonne comments dcrivant Pocketpod the cot as relatively complex configuration. The buttons are fully functional for me and not particulirement twisted. At worst, we must press 1 for Access in sub rglages by the wheels.
I possdais a multi Zoom (pdalier) much more twisted than ca rglages cot.

CHAC in "banks" is quite simple (dfile). The storage location for rglages characters is more than enough. Presets the name of bands more or less known are pre-installed.

Ngligeable advantage: the Pocketpod comes with a USB cable that can connect to the PC and, via the use of a soft tlchargeable Line6 on the site, to edit the existing presets or CRER own.
Even better: thousands of presets are also tlchargeables on the site (community site).
Personally, I could easily rcuprer patches corresponding to the pieces on which I fought for a long time to get the sound closest to the artist.

The manual, in french, but is short enough for the apprhender bte.

SOUND QUALITY

As always on such multi, there are effects that we wonder who uses them ... There are still a steal effect exploitable plenty to bring happiness to the majority of guitarists.
I play Les Paul and I love Delays or offered by the Pocketpod Overdrives. The Crunch are also excellent. The Fuzz and Wah Wah is a bit more dlicats handle.

OVERALL OPINION

I use the Pocketpod for 6 months now. It comes from my complment see the effects the unit replaces compltement depending on the mood.
on the other hand, use scnique must be somewhat dlicate. Indeed, we must take up the red beans to switch effects so if you have little time to do it (in a song or between two titles), ca may be hot ...

The thing I love about this device is the possibility to plug in my iPod from the mp3 (audio standard) of Pocketpod. Feedback, I can play using the song in the bottom rear of the amp comes out the same time as my guitar.
Nice also, the possibility for the headphone rpeter config: Pocketpod + mp3 player + headphones + guitar. No need to amp!! (And you can carry around anywhere wireless leg, even at the campsite!).

Ngatif point, however: the bte dvor cells shovel .... 3 hours of battery life (and since there's no on / off, if you forget to unplug the guitar, the food you Pod batteries speeds .. Pfiou ....). To be ordered so the transformer (15) that goes with that is not provided original.

If I had the choice again ????? Now!! Especially considering the price ....

To summarize: a small device that will make the closet a lot of truly multi-type effects pdalier!

See the site builder or opinions below.

- 2 because of the limited buttons available which blocks a rglage live.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is very simple. It was a red bean with output between 4 and pots. It can be a default or any dpend quality of what we seek. For example, if you want the formulations of line6 POD will be the small price of some rglage available directly. We have to go through the manipulation not easy to do. If one seeks a working holiday for example, the Pocket Pod is perfect.

Manuel?
I do not remember. Pdf line6 site does not bothers him.

- 2 = increasing for changes in presets that can s'avrer difficult without notice in front of or

SOUND QUALITY

There are two levels of analysis:
- In any case, headphones, hi-fi etc. .. :
10/10, anything. It's an illusion and a ringing guitar. The sounds are music and sounds good. This is the simulation and we often play with headphones so not worth trying the vibration of the amp in the legs or other.
Sounds good clear sound, the formulation and the transistor t always strong for clean sounds and pure.
The lack a bit of crunch "grahou". It lacks a little body but still sounds good.
The sounds are trs trs saturated saturated. Medium low enough overall. The sound is full of bass and gives the illusion of a large (I return APRS). It saturates well and slice it right. As usual, has done much illusion.
- In tural condition in a config bass / drums:
That all sounds (especially saturated) make illusion breaks down the quality 0 in condition.
The clear, the crunch going well. The sound is 90% saturated medium low. It does not pierce food and everything. If you go up the sound, the bass is food, the tom no longer ring. If we fall, we hear more.
Another problem, either in a ring quite true, but a live plutt rings false. Sounds ultra compresssion give her a dish without dynamic, no nuance. The attack is good but the shade does not exist (for sounds trs especially saturated). Saturated sound is compressed by nature but there is a line: Example: My Amp 50W Marshall Plexi saturated with rev boost in a record -> The curve gives spikes everywhere, a sound that no limits and trs is boring argler volume (too much momentum, has pierced the ceiling all the time). With the POD and other simulations -> Everything is right, has always leveled at the same level and do not fall!

Even if it's on paper tration, we find that printing condition group. The POD is simply flat.
The crazy ultra saturated its cares, the organic sound of a crazy and taking them will complain.

I put 8 because I think it's not something that replaces an amplifier. I think it gnial for beef, a blow with pals or live on the table for a jam but not the long / medium term. I think we should use it that the house, traveling and co. As a group, do not have a replacement amp. Like I said was illusion and nothing else.
So -2 for a dish and its sometimes too low for his medium, too dark, despite the 3-band equalization.

OVERALL OPINION

I have over 6 months.
He released a few galres group for RPTES. I often used directly on a table to try to make in his compositions.

I like his cot portable. It is clean and burr-free, trs plug and play. I do not need to tamper I just work for the initial sounds.

The report price is gnial quality. I went on a trip of 1 month and I could not have done without. A ball 100 is not even any work in hand to quietly and beef.
O In all situations there is no need to get out the heavy artillery with the stack and all pannoplie, POD is almost perfect.
9 because I will put together, in normal use, I have nothing to reproach him by the cot may compress trs.

-> A good tool small price that can s'avre very practical.

All adj t say that. This little Pod offers many functions ... probably too! But I will return the above further.

UTILIZATION

I had the opportunity to use a number of multi-effects and the pocket pod is probably the least intuitive, the more laborious and unnecessarily complex t I've ever given a try. The rglages are made by combinations of buttons, they are so numerous that it is not possible to use the BTE without the user manual in front. It quickly lost in the menus, all this would have earned be pure ...
The format of the pod is also problmatique, I have a little trouble with this logic of miniaturization that occurs in DPIT common sense, the subject is so lightweight that it does not place once the cables branches, which take head!

SOUND QUALITY

The sounds are those found on amps modlisation of the range, we will therefore not surprisingly the proper way to trs, what is the propose such a quantity of pRSET knowing that most are dclinaisons that the same sound? we are left with 36 almost identical distortions, ditto for the cleans and so on ...
Of course, everything is paramtrable and can store its rglages, but you need patience for a, given the mdiocrit interface.

OVERALL OPINION

I offered the pod there is a little over a year now and trane in a drawer ... FDI is good but this pod is in practice much more laborious than its NSAID use, opt for a more upscale MODEL if you insist you provide.

We're going to play the lazy: https://fr.line6.com/pocketpod/amps.html

Frankly nothing wrong, there are plenty of things in a very small bote, perfect to hang in empty compartment of your guitar tui. C'tait also the objective of this purchase.

My only complaint: no sound transfer via USB.

UTILIZATION

L is a gte.

Premire dception: once a guitar jack, a headphone jack and USB port required (see next paragraph), the Pocket Pod rear breaks! Practice to see the notch and turn the knobs ...

But the major weakness of the Pocket Pod is that it is absolutely without inrglable editor, Vyzex. Not only the buttons are not practical, but all possibilities are not acessible rglages directly from the machine! It is therefore essential to connect the Pocket Pod on a computer to its presets, and let the buttons after the end of the rglage Systm of cost.

SOUND QUALITY

Given its size and its price is not bad.

Front face of a Black Box Reloaded M-Audio, I would say the high gain gnral simus are better on the Pocket Pod (from the Pod 2, so I do not compare it, it roughly the same thing), but I leave the advantage of light and effects the Black Box.

I often use a combo of 60 Power Engine Tech 21, removing the speaker simulation, the sound of the Pocket Pod win really "life," compensates ct "flat numrique" Pod used in the group condition.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it only rarely trs in dplacement, holidays, etc..

The big plus? Its well Taile sr! And battery operation, the son down!
Much less? Inrglable without Vyzex

I tried some prs everything is done in terms of modlisation, only one of me that is the Korg Pandora screed, the competitor at least in terms of size of the Pocket Pod.

The report qualitprix is ​​good.

Repeat this choice ... It will test the Pandora before, this time!

APRS, those who want to use it as a multi-effects output on an amp on a console, or to the home studio and complain about the sound quality just makes me laugh.
For that price, it sounds perfectly Pod for mobile use, troubleshooting, jam when bb is sleeping or watching Ms. Twilight.
For everything else, it will actually "fade", "flat", "chemical" ...

What are those you prfrez, you dtest?
Objectively, at its core: the cleans are really funky, the crunches as well (a bit garish my taste), the saturation ring (despite what you read), they are a bit too compresses (this s 'means a game particulirement PM) and lack Obviously dynamics (of things) but everything is crdible.
APRS, like all Line6 products, you can browse the TOC of user presets and there are some settings that sound really nice and thunder! BALANCE:
10/10

There is little or pro Line6 sounds, for that price, the quality is at an appointment. Big sound, jazz, blues, rock, hard, whatever your style, you should find your way between the user presets and factory presets.
Obviously, if you want to use it as a multi-effects, guitar preamp home studio, go your way, you play the wrong way. This device is "technically" and "tration" capable n'tant but not for the sound will not folichon without some post-processing!


OVERALL OPINION

The Cons: A more complete bundle, it would have nice t Line6 especially that chick is not usual on this point.

Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
In the same spirit (mobile solution), I had a Zoom H4. Well, there's no picture, if we consider only the "sound", the Pocket Pod is much better, less chemical and presets much better.

How do you report qualitprix?
Trs trs good. Frankly for a hundred euros, you have something that sounds that you can really take it anywhere.

Exprience with, you will do again this choice? ...
Yes.

RESULTS:
This stuff is really cool: portable, simple to use, scroll, solid and cheap compare a Pod "classic". The solution of the coolest mobile market my opinion.

With the hype and fame of the POD, it was only natural that there would be something smaller. The Pocket POD is Line 6's creation to help create some sort of modeler that you can take with you no matter where you go. For such a small device, there's quite a bit packed into this thing. There are tons of different amps, cabs and effects. On top of that, there are tons of different presets you can create.

UTILIZATION

POD did a great job at laying everything out in an easy to use manner. This thing is fairly tiny when compared to the original POD, so I'd say they achieved what they were set out on creating. Editing presets and setting everything up is just like any other POD. If you've used one before, you'll know how to work this without a problem. If you haven't, there shouldn't be too much of a learning curve. I wish the effects had more versatility, but I was never a huge Line 6 effects fan to begin with. Line 6 has some good manuals, so if there's anything you don't get, just check it out. One thing I do worry about is how sturdy these are. I've had a few PODs break on me when chucking them around on tour, so keep that in mind. I'm hoping it's stronger because it's smaller.

SOUND QUALITY

If you like the Line 6 tone, you should like this. However, I was never a huge fan of the Line 6 stuff. For one, it has that standard modeler sound. What I mean is, the treble and presence has this certain frequency or something that I can't dial out. The gain is grainy, and it is the same no matter what preset you choose. The effects are weak, but that's not really a huge fault considering all the stuff that's thrown in here. The feel, however, is exactly like a modeler. If you've ever played a modeler, you know what I mean.

OVERALL OPINION

For a practice device, this works great. You can take it with you no matter where you go and start jamming with some headphones. However, it's still that standard Line 6 tone which means that it still feels sterile and sounds a bit grainy.

Well it's a small POD! On the menu, a beautiful range of hand-picked amps modeled, and a tube preamp (modeled, huh? "We agree ...) and Fuzz. All the standard effects for guitar are combined.
Question connectors: one input and one output guitar amp out, a power supply ', an input and an output line level (for connecting a music player and a headphone out), in short, the base and a USB port as a bonus, we will return .

UTILIZATION

The configuration of the equipment is very simple and in the worst case, the manual is very clear and quite fun to read (the writing is rather relaxed, but detailed), so we do not lose much time to make adjustments and achieve the desired sound.
The real power comes over all settings through the computer via USB and all parameters are clearly visible at the same time and of course save on the POD as the computer.

SOUND QUALITY

Come on, attacking the first sore subject: modeling. They are far from being unpleasant, sure, but they are also a bit steep, sometimes very little music. But do not spoil: for this price is very correct and properly mixed some well-played guitar can even be quite convincing, but can expect nothing more.
Second big problem with this Pocket POD in terms of sound: he snores! On stage (although I would not recommend strongly enough to use it on stage ...) it can pass, the hum can drown in the noise of the cheering crowd, and studio use ... well ... the noise gate has a job. In this connection, the embedded noise gate is not too bad, but is far from perfect.
More seriously, the problem is that the hum strike use of POD in the element that is supposed to suit him, namely the handheld gaming at home or with headphones on. The output Line out is actually quite bad and the background noise is downright unpleasant. The Amp output is much better out there and I prefer to use this output to record (it is obviously necessary that the recorder has an entry level guitar, which is so rare) because the SNR is much acceptable.

For the rest, it should anyway not expect much more for something of this price, such a wealth of amp and effect is already significant work for his ideas.

OVERALL OPINION

I'm using it for two short months now. I bought it originally because I live abroad for a while and deprived of my amp and much of the rest of my mess I wanted to continue to scrape and work. I have not tried many other models, multi-effects at Zoom was one of the only alternatives I've found for that price, but the small size of POD has allowed me to settle quickly question.

Most of the POD, apart from its size (which I think is responsible for some problems of shielding is ...), it's very complete and sufficient unto itself (amps, effects, tuner, tap tempo function etc ...) and it is very easy to use. Minimum, and this may seem to be only a detail, it's very limited use the USB port, it serves only editing effects, can not be used as an interface (personally I m 'bump into a lot, but it's completely stupid ...) and it does not provide power to the POD and energy it takes to go through (!!!) batteries or AC power.

So we're in the presence of a good honest, but must be regarded as a work tool or a travel companion, I would not recommend its use in terms of studio or stage. I use it because I have no choice, and I'm happy enough for now, the price / quality ratio is very good, music everything is paid for a hundred dollars it is difficult to have something much better.

I probably would do that choice under conditions similar to those that are mine for now, otherwise, quite frankly never!

I will not be given a description of the effects, they are available on the Line6 site and the previous opinion.
for short, is a small amp simulator which take in the pocket.
it works a battery, autonomy is not extraordinary, but I come with rechargeable batteries to play 2:30-3am continuously.
side connector was guitar input, headphone output amplifier, which came to a sound source like a walkman (lets you play over a song) and a power outlet.
book with an interview, and without transformer. This last point is really too bad.

UTILIZATION

This pod can be set in 2 ways, either directly or through the pod pc.
directly on the pod is a bit acrobatic, some settings are not accessible combination of button. The slide is not a super ergonomic, it was soon doing a touch of something else in wanting to go after her.

the setting on your PC using the software download. it's not too bad. Safeguarding its not very intuitive, we can easily lose the settings in court on a false manipulation.

In use, the pod turns galley "live", I used headphones for pure play the guitar work, or when I travel (it keeps me from lugging the amp). In these conditions I agree though.

SOUND QUALITY

For the price of the beast, the sound is more than correct, there is a default, including noise (breath / crackling) on some simulation of gain, but hey, it's that a small bean.
Another black spot (it does not bother me more than that because I served as a "booster amp) simulations one can sanitizes the nature of the guitars, the" small "guitar is a little boost, then that bill than his guitar a bit distorted.

Overall it sounds correct for the use to which I intended.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 years now working primarily as a tool, do not expect to make its main "amp".
Once the settings (through the editing software) use as amply extra and not bad, especially compared to its price (new € ~ 70)

at the base I moved to this solution to play / work without making too much noise, I had a big amp licks the house and apartment is average. more I will not go through this election, and point me toward more small amp or a good quality sound card for PC, but the cost is much higher.

See more advice.

UTILIZATION

Use the button type "pad" not comfortable. 2 of the four knobs are very hard (how long will they?). Printing plasia (that's good) poorly assembled ...

SOUND QUALITY

Sounds very uneven, often very sensitive to environment (huge hum). Used with a strat U.S.

OVERALL OPINION

Without returning to the previous opinions, I just bought a small Fender Mustang 1-105 €. Certainly it is more encombrabants, but for the same price and search for sounds identical, ie sharing of sounds via the internet on the same model community in 2 cases, Fenedre is far ahead in number and quality of sound.

Originally written by benbao on Audiofanzine French.

I won't describe the effects provided: you'll find them on the Line6 website.
In short, it's a pocket amp simulator.
Works with batteries. The battery life is not very long: with rechargeable batteries, I can play nearly three hours.
Connections: guitar input, phones out, amp out, line input to play along with a recorded song, PSU connector.
Sold with a small manual but no PSU. It's a pity!


UTILIZATION

You can do your settings either directly on the unit or via a PC.
Directly on the unit it's a bit difficult because some parameters require key combinations. Browsing within the presets is not very practical: in some cases, you'll press a key by mistake when you want to select another preset.

For PC editing you'll have to download the software. Storing presets is not very intuitive: you can lose your settings by mistake pretty easily.

I use it with headphones when I play guitar at home or when I'm on the road (I don't have to carry my guitar amp with me). It's ok for these applications.


SOUND QUALITY

Considering the price, the sound is rather good. However, I found some weak points, like noise with high-gain simulations.
Another con: the simulations don't fully reproduce the sound character of the guitar you play.

Altogether, the sound is ok for me.


OVERALL OPINION

I've been using it for three years as a practice tool. Don't expect to be able to use it as your main amp.
Once you made your settings (with the software), it's ok as an additional amp, especially considering the price.

I bought it to play/practice without making too much noise since my big amp is not ideal to play at home. I wouldn't buy it again if I had more money. I would choose a quality compact combo or a good sound card, but it would be more expensive.
