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;)
