Value For Money : Excellent
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!
