Sound: This is a great tool for the new guitarist.It has all the basics for starting axemen .It is very versitile and can withstand gigwork,but I stil feel this is a great tool for taking the next level.To many beginers buy a procuct that is going to interfeal with their basic learning skills.This is a versitile tool and I would recomend it Feature: well built. Ease of Use: This is an easy sturdy workingmans tool.You don"t have to have a degree to figure it out.Sticks to the basics with options later,and a tuner YEAH. Quality: This product is wellbuilt and seems roadworthy but I wuold never use it on the road.reasonally price okaygood bang for the buck. Value: compentaly priced sleek good bang for a buck,intermediate level.A good tool to work on integrating effects and your music. Manufacturer Support: The instructions were clear(as mud),but I find quite a few of this type of pedal but on the average it passes,I recommend, The Wow Factor: This is an intermediate toolfor leaning and small gigs.looks like star trek. Overall: Tech moves faster than I can dish out cash,but I still do.pedals like these are great jamming at home or in the garage.On that basis I wuold recommend this tool.Easy settup a reasonable selelection o effects.I did not get a chance to gig test it,but put it thruogh a few band practices.KBT.TOO MUCH FLASH FOR ME but thats is just my opiniona

Sound: The floor board is great! Rugged, works well, really opens the pod. Make sure you get the right model for your equipment - older pods and Line 6 gear use the floor board, new amps and pods use the newer floor board marked FBV.. the older floor board is $99.99, the newer is about 399.00 big difference! Feature: The floor board makes channel selection, effects, tuning, and switching a snap... wah pedal, volume pedal all at your feet. Ease of Use: Connection to amps or line-in feeds to recording equipment with the POD is a snap, the floor board makes studio work even easier... Quality: This thing appears bullet proof... made to stomp on in live gigs... Value: The older floor board was priced at around $399 when I bought my POD... I waited and found it at ZZ for $99.00! Sold! Manufacturer Support: Have no experience with Line 6 service and support - I bought my POD in 2003 and it has always worked well - the floor board worked well and continues to work well, but I only bought it a month ago... The Wow Factor: Pretty is nice, but I am more interested in performance - the floor board works and works well. The POD and the floor board is a natural... Overall: I would replace the floor board in a military minute if I had to - same with the POD. These products give me access to TONS of amp models and effects that standalone would costs thousands of dollars to purchase... my effects rig cost less than $500.00 and I can do almost anything..

Sound: The Floorboard incorporates its own pedal waw, and it's as good as any. On effects setting you can deselect some FX, and the one problem I have with it is that there is not enough difference in level for distortion and drive to make much of a difference. But there is some, and I use the switches when I want to take off some of the edge. Feature: This is an accessory, of course, so you could say a big NO to whether the main unit (for me a Pod Pro) includes it. It was always too expensive, and I jumped at the chance to get a new one (already had an old one) at ZZ prices. But the features are very good, a solid volume pedal and waw. I like the waw switch--you push down a little harder in toe position to toggle it. Much easier than having a separate switch, and the auto-switch waw's don't allow you the same range of sound. Having a good volume pedal and waw pedal are indispensable, so the Floorboard solves that problem, otherwise your rack unit would be sorely lacking (that's probably one reason why old-school players prefer stomp boxes). I'm surprised that Line6 didn't provide something closer to the Floorboard for newer rack units; I wouldn't want one of the newer boards. I suppose the reason for that is that the trend is self-contained floor units. Arguably the size of the Floorboard is a negative (big footprint), but I like the size of the switches and the space between them. Ease of Use: I've already discussed the layout. There's no learning curve to speak of. And given the size and weight of the unit (all metal), you don't worry about it moving around on you. One problem with any unit of this kind is that you can't randomly select patches except in the rows, and that's unacceptable if you like to vary your patches a lot like I do. But my solution for that is a midi controller, so I only use the Floorboard for volume, instant waw, and varying effects as I noted above. But there is also an advantage in being able to see the patch number in big red letters; it's faster to glance at than looking at the rack unit. Quality: I've had an old Floorboard now for a long time and it's been very dependable. Looks good cosmetically. Now that I have a new one, I realize that one problem is that the range of control on volume and waw deteriorates over time because both use a transparent plastic strip that is colored dark on end to function optically, E.g. at toe down volume the strip is clear and heel down it is blacked in. This isn't bad compared to other methods, but the strip in the old unit evidently faded too much over time to completely kill the volume, and you certainly can't count on Line6 to carry spare parts with the board being discontinued. Value: Line6 stuff tends to be too expensive for what you actually get. In the case of the Floorboard, the MSRP would give you sticker shock when you realize that the only extras you're getting in addition to the basic controllers are the volume and waw. But they do make the Cadillac of units, and if you can get a good deal at ZZ or other places, I'd say go for it. Manufacturer Support: The company isn't particularly easy to reach. I did have one problem that took me quite a bit of emailing to track down. But once I got to the right person, he was very helpful and suggested a transistor I could get a local parts store to fix it myself, which is what I wanted to do. Line6 is famous for it's reader-friendly manuals, but they still miss details here and there--the kind of thing where you wish you could find something specific in the index. I didn't have any failures during the warranty, and I guess it's too much to ask for a lifetime warranty. The Wow Factor: This is very old-school so there's no Wow factor, but it's still a good-looking unit, and it does stuff that newer Line6 equipment doesn't. Overall: The combination of the Pod Pro and the Floorboard is hard to beat for what it does, so much so that I would rather have my old PP and FB than the new Line6 stuff. I found myself very concerned that my old unit might wear out and there was nothing to replace it. The ultimate value probably depends on your playing style. If you're strictly stomp-box oriented and you only use a handful or less of different sounds at a gig (as most pro's do), then this is not for you, unless you want to have your volume and waw pedals in one solid unit, and are willing to have virtually all your effects from one source. But this is what I prefer, and I could never live with a case of stomp boxes.
