Best value:
Excellent
Multi Effect, modeling guitar amplifiers, many effects from the M13.
Presets and settings editable via software pod hd edit mac and pc handy.
This is the model bean, takes up little space on a desk, like in the backpack.
All digital connectivity compared to some pedals and rack models:
-Input guitar
XLR mic-input
-Line Out jack mono and stereo.
Spdif-connectors
Port usb edition sounds and update firmware, and features audio interface.
Port ethernet connection to a crank type L6 FBV Shortboard MkII
-Headphone
To note, this is not perfect, I enjoyed MIDI and XLR outputs, effects loop, so, I put still for eight because I use the pod hd I admit it.
UTILIZATION
It takes time to find the right settings on the general config screen pod is not simple, but it becomes via editing software podhd edit, which allows both sounds and set banks manage presets.
The manual can be downloaded on the website of L6 is clear and precise.
The grip is not obvious, you can spend a lot of time before starting to get the sounds that we seek. This is the factory gas.
on the other hand, it's worth digging a bit, because the result is convincing once tamed the beast.
SOUND QUALITY
I use a PRS Standard Telecaster and U.S..
The amp models are convincing, but uneven, especially in high gain amp sounds, which in my opinion is not the same all. I mostly use simulations Bassman, Twin, Mesa and Engl.
I use little effect, if not the reverbs and delays.
I recorded an entire disc with my guitars and my bass plugged into the pod, direct spdif in sound card.

It's very personal, I like the sounds that can be drawn in a metal register.
The models are sufficiently realistic. A little "cold" digital it goes without saying, but I agree.
I use daily tube amp, but I like the practicality and versatile pod hd.
OVERALL OPINION
I use since May 2011.
I had a pod 2.0, which I kept for years, I abandoned and resold.
It happened some time before I return to modeling.
I have not tried many models before, I mainly tried modeling the pod hd 500 in depth history whether it was worth it.
What I like the most is his side Swiss Army Knife. I used mainly taken from his studio, but he has repaired during a period of intense concerts and my amp was in maintenance.
What I like least is its lack of accessibility at the outset: the grip is difficult. That said, when you know how to use it properly, it is a very good tool.
Good value for money, given that I use often:
-Guitar work
Demo-recording, albums, reamping
Hack-of all kinds.
Well-doc in the bag between the mobile computer and the headphones. And it's sound card.
