MGR/Anonymous « Line 6 POD 2 Upgrade Chip »
Published on 06/28/01 at 15:00Ordered through Musicians Friend for $49.. I wanted to avoid the MIDI interface and access all models from the front panel.
I already liked the POD a great deal for practice and for recording, but really HATED using a MIDI interface to get at all the amp models and speaker cabs. This upgrade elminates the MIDI interface, improved the tuner (to where is is useable now), and did improve the sound to an extent. I almost never used the presets (as I have different guitars and different moods) so I prefer the unit in manual, roll your own mode. It used to turn on in whatever mode you left it, not it ALWAYS defaults to the last preset.
The upgrade was very easy to do. I do not use the POD for live stuff, I have a couple of amps I really like live (and loud), but it seems as if it could withstand live use.
The actual POD seems quiet well built
Yes. As a recording and practice media, this is an incredible value for me. The upgrade was worth every penny to what I already paid for the POD
The POD upgrade is a good thing.. My unit is easier to work and I think in so case sounds much better.
