Value For Money : Excellent
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.
