I have to say I am a bit disapointed in line 6′s approach to this otherwise nice little device. Unlike the nice solid metal cased POD’s, this is a cheap plastic device that feels like it will break at the first turn of a knob. Line 6 has always made great products. What were they thinking? Save costs? I would have glady paid an extra $20 for metal case and knobs.

The Good:
This is a good tool to practice guitar with headphones.
The Bad:
The tones are not good by any stretch of the imagination, unless you like hyper-distorted noise. The cleans sound artificial and the crunch tones have obvious digital distortion applied. The effects are hit and miss as well. Plate reverb is decent but spring reverb is so artificial sounding that it’s downright offensive.
Throw in the fact it chews through batteries, the software interface you use to program it on your computer is really difficult to use, and how it loses its small-and-portable-factor with a guitar cable, headphone cable, and power adapter plugged into it, I’d be hard-pressed to recommend this product unless you really need to practice through headphones.

I am a big line6 fan. I have a pod xt with all the bells and whistles. I love it. I play it through an atomic reactor it is awesome. Now when it came time for my 11 year old daughter to get a better sound than here marshal 15 w practice amp can deliver, this was perfect. It delivers a lot of inspiring fun for here. She doesn’t have the picky standard’s that I do, infect she enjoys the crazy “fun” versatility in the pocket pod. It inspires here to play more and that makes it worth the money fore me. Now that being sed the power supply should be included. And this is not a product fore a serious musician. Line6 has a product line fore that. But this is the best toy I ever bought my daughter.

This is the best thing u can ever buy. I play the guitar but have a crappy amp, so i thought the pocket pod would be a solution. and YES it was
now not only my amp has better sounds and effects but it also fixed the SHHHHHHHHH sound that i had before since it has a noise gate. it also features a tuner which is gd in emergencies. The pod itself has many presets already made and u can custom ur own. u can also download already made presets to enjoy ur best bands sounds. I downloaded some metallica presets and they are really great. U can also connect it to ur pc, home theater, speakers, headphones, etc,, and also input music from an ipod or any mp3 player. concerning the quality of the Pod, i think it is really gd and specially for the price.
A great recommend for beginners or advanced players
Thank you !

The Pocket POD is fantastic! I could not be happier with what this product delivers at the price point it delivers it. With my Les Paul, my Strat, or my Travel Guitar, the Pocket POD sounds great. For those who are familiar, I use an Axe-Fx at home, but obviously would not be able to fit it in my suitcase for business trips (airline pilot here). Nothing compares to a $2000 effects rack unit like the Axe-Fx. However, stuck in a hotel room for hour upon hour for what ever reason, take the Pocket POD with you and you will be very, very happy! Very compact, very light, upload your own custom tones in addition to the great preset tones. Great service from Amazon. Paid for 2 day delivery, and for some reason got it the next day. Gotta love that!! 5 Stars. Just get it!
