All user reviews of 5/5 for the Line 6 POD 2

Ultimate amp simulator. Technology modlisation of line 6 is dconcertante. Not a question of having the sound of a marshall or three bodies of a Mesa Boogie, but to remain close to those sounds.
I use a coupled Tubeman II of Hughes and Kettner and I think overall the sounds gloves knowing that I play mostly rock 80's and 90's.

UTILIZATION

As the knobs on an amp, the handling takes a little practice, but everything is perfectly clear, and within hours it can be imagined the great JIMI.

SOUND QUALITY

This is an amp simulator, the situation is l.
Personally, a big tip of the hat for the simultaneous Fender, Vox, Marshall Plexi, Dumble.
Other simulations are certainly good, but trs ps I do not know enough about the original amps to make an objective opinion.
In any case, considering the price, a wonderful machine to work at home. I prfre significantly raise the pod II in my mixer, it connects in the same line from my computer.
Note 9 is that it is a amp simulator.

OVERALL OPINION

200 euros is unbeatable and you will have hours of great guitar with this little Beanstalk

Amp Simulators (Marshall, Soldano, etc. ..) and effects (chorus, compressor, etc ...) to "model" (100% digital).

+ 30-amp models
+ 10 models of speakers (combo, mesa 4 * 12, etc ...)
+ 10 standard effects
EQ minimum (low, medium and high), presence also

UTILIZATION

Use requiring a few hours of practice, but mostly you have to take the time to read the entire record: Essential to achieve his ends

SOUND QUALITY

When we used a small combo, it's impressive. It can be quite distraught at the number of possible settings, but for my part I always converges to some sounds for each of my styles: rock metal and 60-70's especially.

Between these two styles, I appreciate especially the possibilities of POD for 70's rock (Led Zep, Hendrix, ACDC, etc.), its crunches are great (eg small tweed and black panel). (All this low volume)

For metal (heavy pattern, speed), the "Soldano" is a must.

OVERALL OPINION

For the price I paid: € 100 used, I filled in that I sought to give new life to my sound.

Very good quality / price ratio for an amateur like me (but who has an ear demanding)

This three months that I have and I never get tired of her and I enjoy more and more often.

I did not know the "modeling", well it's a great technology.

Bote modlisations. The concept was initiated by Line 6 t widely imitated since. POD is the "original". A 190, do not go without ...

UTILIZATION

Unlike what I read on the previous ones opinion, the machine is a first trs simple when compared to multi-effects numriques. In addition to rglages purposes that are possible but a bit laborious via a TAP, current use is facilitated by the analog-style buttons prsence which include the traditional rglages of the amp. In short, the choice of shipping is not pushed to the ease of dtriment rglage. The manual is surprisingly humorous tone a little teenager, but pdagogiquement speaking, it trs well done!
I would add that I possde pdalier the floorboard which permetd'accder a host of functions (tuner, wah pedals and volume for example) without lcher guitar. I use the POD on scne when I do not need my amp Flextone2 (both hardware as twin patches I cln)

SOUND QUALITY

Extremely practical, I recommend the branch POD Live PA. If you play a (good) guitar amp, no need to bother the POD. I play on my old Carvin lamps ds that the configuration allows it (great scne, returns LGERS and crazy drummer). My amp has a much larger dynamic (and sometimes teachers) and a broader spectrum in the high and low ranges. For all plans quiet (cif clubs ..) POD is sufficient. I use the patches at this time "the clear" to play the Dire Straits and modlisations "Jazz Chorus" and "Blackface" (with a compression lgre Dlay and adjustable time r el foot) work well trs. For saturation with beautiful feeling and feedback I prfre my Carvin lamps, but even when there are good things.

OVERALL OPINION

I have a year and I use it in my complment Flextone 2 (pdalier compatible). I and one off-road equipment.
You have to buy a POD if you want to avoid to lug his amp, and not as a multi-effect to more! The pdalier is indispensable scne (my opinion)
Unless you want to be a snob or a grain prcis in the studio, POD should any amateur guitarist who wants to avoid a back strain!
Reasonable purchase as I would do without problem.

That says it all!

UTILIZATION

O first it can be a little hassle to find the desired sound but with the manual in french ... is that the boheur!
the manual perfectly clear and very well explain even a touch of humor by momentary.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound quality is nothing to say that the sof clean sounds have a more volume than the ba distortion, so if you want a good clean looking for a crunch and put the drive to a minimum.
The sounds are super realistic, the fact its great!
I play with a 100 watt and one HH Cort M1200 I bard! by fo against the project have to buy a pedal noon!
me I was lucky to find a floorboard pa chèr docaz. fanchemen and the Pod without pedals is very boring.
on the other hand I tube amp and the sound is a little tropical color! So I suggest you take the pod with a neutral amp! EX: Tech 21 Power Engine 60

I suggest you connect the pod 2 from a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe! bouble the transparent effect!
and the tube amp gives potato for distortion! I advise you to try!

OVERALL OPINION

I use depui 6 months and I spend little men!
fo kan even remember that the Pod 2 valer over 330 euros!
considering the price is in momentary nothing to say! I had a 180 euros new.

The effects are most common and are of exellent quality to tell you, I had to buy 3 times the pod and tried other modlisations and I always came back to the pod 2.0. so you have 2 2 chorus flanger, delay, compressor, and effects trmolo shuffled delay compressor, delay, chorus, delay, flanger and delay swell. technology is 100% numrique but sounds better than a pod xt live or pod xt all. We can connect the pod to a computer, download the presets etc ... but for me the machine she simply sought APRS same sounds. I have prfrs Soldano marshall and fender.

UTILIZATION

It is easy to use compared to other machines on the market and the explanations of the manual are clear and compltes. called line 6 amps without fear of procsmme if they had. vox dare not explicitly name his modlisations the blow back is lacking. j'dite sounds through a floorboard, which is my sense complment most of the machine. attentio made the pod 2.0 out now they are not compatible shortboaard.si floorboard but you have a pod and is indicated pedal at the storming of the PDAL it will put a floorboard. but if it is indicated FBV PDAL it will put an FBV Shortboard.

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are trs effective, responsive and ralistes, I use many guitars with diffrent, and none that I like or that I dtest all have their usefulness .

OVERALL OPINION

I use the pod 2.0 since its commercial release. there are 2 or 3 years. what I like most is the distortion functions and boost the drive floarboard rmetent that boost the machine and to make the best in all cases. I know all other machines and modeling for me, the pod appears to be the best compromise. I do it again this choice without hesitation.

It is above all an amp simulator, coupled with a prossesseur effect.
sounds can be edited and the camera is controllable noon.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is very simple, and can already use the device in an intuitive way, but reading the manual is mandatory for the tips used as the boost, firms or tuning effects.
reading the manual is very pleasant and digestible.

SOUND QUALITY

Despite what some say, the effects are qualities alone reverbs are not too early, but they are measured out their work.
When the most important, with simus, we have a huge number of amp with carractère very different. I was mad nice to know if it's a simulation of marchal or fender. I have the full preamp with which I peus me sounds tailor. There follow well the grain of the guitar, and are very warm, quite honestly a lot more friendly pod XT or XT live, I know what I mean, I've owned.
Special mention poue sounds clear. saturated sounds are not leftovers, crunch or bite hyper saturated, everything is possible.
for effects, the tremolo is really successful.
by taking the time you can really make sounds small onions!

OVERALL OPINION

This little bean is a blessing to my back and the trunk of the car. Direct sound, I sound, and at home the cash in monitorings great!
opportunity is found in a stoppered bread, er ... bean (red).
Bon appetite!

Not been around I've had 3 days
I found two negatives:
-No MIDI Through
-32 Presets in memory

UTILIZATION

Editing is a breeze, the manual is very clear and concise, use is remarkable simplicity

SOUND QUALITY

Effects:
not great if you want a big quality, I have two roland gp16 and a multi-tc electronic g-major, they far outweigh. pleasant surprise, however, for the leslie is not transcendent but not bad.

simulations:
that's why I bought this product. I have bourgeois taste with my sound, I play on a mesa roadster with a 4x12 correct. I wanted to have the opportunity to have other preamps for crunch. I have seen is 60 euros I try. I have not done around the bug but I have to admit that plugs into the power stage of my head I've been ultra impressive. While the sound is a little (slightly) right and lacks a bit of momentum, but the grain is. What ca life, the sound is warm, for we believed crunch with almost all lamps (I said almost). for the ca distos is complicated, you really have the right amount so that the sound does not become too digital, but I come correct with the sumi has had a sound that looks exactly like my real water has rectified preamp (the of my head), but it lacks a little nothing compared to the original ...
fuz effect is very good quality for this kind of effects I know the big muff USD. I personally prefer the muff but it's really matter of taste as the fuzz of the pod is very good!

I must be a shit simulations with hardware because I can not find a sound that suits me for the recording. a peak when we know that this product is made for that. I prefer as much preamp ... I must be an alien ... the sound is good but lacks a qqchose. I prefer for recording guitar rig3 (for now anyway)

Brief overall I'm very very surprised by the quality of the machine. I had a big priori reading forum (war lamps / transistors / and modeling). then we must admit that I prefer the sound any lamp, it is more dynamic and articulate, but I think I'll keep the pod for my crunch because it is very fine. well I'll calm down so as not to give a note on a whim and excitation by the acquisition of this new toy.

we will say
average effects => -2 (severe but I am because its destination is when even the amp models)
its a little too right recording => -1

which gives us a total of 7, it's really good about what I think

OVERALL OPINION

In general it is better to speak of the quality / price. then knowing the bargain price and even nine of this product, I think very few defects are quickly forgotten before the very pleasant surprises that reserve. in short it must be HOnet: compared with the competition we can put that 10

for use as I do, oh yes I would do this choice, the price is not worth the ca the blow to forego a "Swiss knife" of very good quality

The effects are very good, except for the noise gate which is not adjustable, but is still welcome!
I use a guitar with bad qualitée, bein the lil thingy makes me forget the brand ... I tested several times with a Dean Razorback associated with Randall RG100H ... a real bomb!

OVERALL OPINION

AC has been nearly 1 year that I buy 80th on the net, a great bargain
I always delusion as to switch between sound and sound bluesy metal!
I REFERRED that choice even more euros if required.

Everything has been said

UTILIZATION

Everything has been said.
In my case, I find it relatively simple to use.

SOUND QUALITY

Okay, so let's get down to business ^ ^.

Before purchasing the pod, I knew some of the simulations Line 6 because I used (and I still use) a Toneport UX1 I like very much.
I also knew the simulations Vox (to have had several amps in the Valvetronix range), and I always preferred the Line 6 (although some say that Line 6 sound cold and digital, everything is a matter of taste, but I think if you know the deal, it will sound.)

Regarding the effects, nothing to say ... ample quantity levels, and rather good quality level.

In terms of amp simulations, I only uses 4 different (BRIT CLASSIC (simulation of a Vox AC30), BRIT HI GAIN (simulation of a Marshall JCM 800), Treadplate (Mesa Boogie) and MODERN HI GAIN (soldano) ...
For me, these 4 there are EXCELLENT!
I think the rest is more mixed, but honestly it does not matter, because I do not need that + the ones I just mentioned. They let me play whatever I want.

I use my Pod with a Slash Signature Epiphone Les Paul, a Fender Telecaster John 5, and a Baja Telecaster.
I think the pod transcribes well the character of each guitar (but perhaps not as much as a real amp).

When I bought it, I played only with headphones because the record on my amp not suit me ... (A Blackstar HT5). Lights colored the sound, the result was really yucky (sorry the word).
However, the headphones the sound was beautiful .. So I sold my amp to buy a power amp designed specifically for that = the Tech 21 Power Engine 60.
It allows fully exploiting the potential of the Pod (since he is deemed to be neutral, and return the simulation of the pod without coloring the sound).

Since then, I can appreciate the qualities of the pod, the sound is just huge!


OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 1 month ... and I've never had a sound like home (before I went through the Vox Valvetronix, Blackstar HT5 ...); and I know that my sound has never been as good as now.

Like the pod 2.0 because it is simple to use, intuitive, without being limited in terms of sound.
In my opinion there is plenty of simulations and opportunities in this pod, and that's why I preferred it to the pod xt or x3.

I would do without hesitation that choice! especially since we find less expensive

UTILIZATION

Everything has been said already!
In my opinion, it's rather easy to use.


SOUND QUALITY

Now, let's talk seriously ^^.

I already knew Line6 simulations before buying the Pod because I used (and I still use) a Toneport UX1 that I like a lot.
I also knew Vox simulations (I owned several amps from the Valvetronix range). I always preferred the Line 6 sound (although some users say it's cold and digital, but it's all a matter of settings).

Enough quality effects.

I use only four amp simulations: BRIT CLASSIC (Vox AC30), BRIT HI GAIN (Marshall JCM 800), TREADPLATE (Mesa Boogie Rectifier) and MODERN HI GAIN (Soldano).
I find these four simulations are AMAZING!!!
Other simulations are not so good but it's no big deal because I need only these four simulations. They allow me to play anything I want.

I use the Pod with an Epiphone Les paul Slash Signature, a Fender Telecaster John 5 and a Telecaster Baja.
The Pod faithfully reproduces the sound personality of each guitar (but not as good as a real amp).

When I bought it, I used to play with a pair of headphones because I didn't like the sound with my amp (Blackstar HT5). The tubes colored the sound and the result was really awful.
But with headphones, the sound was wonderful... So I sold my amp and bought a power amp conceived for what I do (Tech 21 Power Engine 60).
It allows me to get the best out of the Pod (this amp is linear and faithfully reproduces the simulations without coloring the sound).

With this amp, I can enjoy the sound quality of the Pod: the sound is just amazing!


OVERALL OPINION

I've been using it for about one month... I never had such a sound at home and I know that my sound never was as good as it is now.

I like the Pod 2.0 because it's easy to use, intuitive and provides almost endless sound possibilities.
In my opinion, the Pod offers enough simulations and possibilities. That's the reason why I prefer it to the Pod XT or X3.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again! Especially considering that it's always cheaper
