stompboxjon « Effects and more, but could be a headache installing »
Published on 10/23/12 at 23:30The Line 6 POD Studio GX (POD Studio Series) is a 1 channel interface that connects to your computer through USB. There are some simple effects on it and a preamp. You can use it with a Windows or Mac computer and operating system. This is one of the more affordable interfaces that Line 6 has come out with over the last few years.
UTILIZATION
You will need to pay attention to your computer specs before purchasing this unit, because if you are not careful then you will buy something that will not work on your system. If you are on a Windows computer you will need 512 MB of RAM and 10GB and up for recording. You will need the most recent service packs for Windows and it will work with Vista 64 or 32 bit. If you are on a Mac you need a G4 with OSX 10.4.6 or higher running at 800MHZ.
GETTING STARTED
The Line 6 POD Studio GX comes with a FX pack called Junkie, it has over 30 different effects to choose from and some of them are really good for this unit to be so affordable. There are also 20 plus other effects that are based off of the iBanez Tube Screamer, LA2A compressor, MXR Phase 90 and many more.
OVERALL OPINION
With 5 bass cabinets and 5 bass amplifiers you cannot go wrong. With the Line 6 POD Studio GX you are getting way more than your money’s worth which is what makes it a must have for anyone. Keep in mind that there is no Phantom Power on this interface and the resolution is only 24 bit/48kHz. Overall, it has ups and downs to it. The most important part is that your system will work with it, if it does I am sure that you will love all of the effects. But installing this unit can give you a headache.
