Quality:
Great quality. The battery runs out too fast though.

Value:
It saves you more money to buy a boss. Because you will soon realize how digitalized and fake the effects are. Then you have to buy a better one and together you pay more.

Desirability:
yeah I was expecting too much...

Sound:
It sounds really bad. It's intended to be plugged into a 50 bucks amp with a squire.

Ease of Use:
Very simple to use.

Support:
haven't dealt with them because i rarely use my pod.

Overall:
It is nothing but a nice little toy. Don't recommend anyone to buy it. Unless you just want one of these.

Feature:
People should upsell the adapter with it or sell a pod with adapter for more than the regular. It kills batteries

Quality:
Its made in china, what do you expect. I bet it lasts about a year.

Value:
I'd investigate the digitech, you can see which effects you are picking much easier

Desirability:
Looks really good. Its not really a pocket pod though, I have a plastic box for all the crap that goes with it (cables, usb cable, headphones, adapter cable, manual, batteries, etc)

Sound:
It sounds great, but its annoying to use, and the online help sucks. It does not work with their website without calling a computer nerd. They don't tell you on the pod box or press release that they shipped out with software bugs. Computers are not recognizing the pdo without doing some computer work.

Ease of Use:
cool if it included a little better manual and the website worked.

Support:
It should just come with a cd to install so it works, like cameras and stuff do.

Overall:
Ill probably sell it if they don't update their download tones software to work with my computer. crap.

Feature:
It had all the things that a traveling guitarist would need, even has a silet tuner.

Quality:
It was very good quality but it may not do so well being bumped around everywhere.

Value:
iIt is so worth the cash. It sounds like a $800 item!!

Desirability:
I want this thing so badly right now.

Sound:
WOW! It could not get any better for something this size!

Ease of Use:
It was easy to use once I got the hang of it. It took me a while to get used to it. (I'm use to the pod xt)

Support:
I never used it.

Overall:
I highly recommend that you stp starring at the pictures and go get it!

Plastic so not sure how it would hold up on a fall.

Desirability:

Feature:
Pretty easy to use, I just wish it had a foot controller so I wouldnt have to turn the knobs to change effects.

Quality:
Ill say it again...AMAZING!!!

Value:
Usually for quality like this it costs at least 500-600 dollars! Its just insane that you pay only 130 for this.

Desirability:
Oh yea...its hot. lol!

Sound:
The sound quality is AMAZING!!!! I have used it already to record and all you have to do is play around with it a little to get the sound you want (I suggest using a mixer though to really tweak it). The sound is amazing though, I cant believe that quality comes out of this little thing.

Ease of Use:
Easy

Support:
N/A

Overall:
I think I will hang on to this one for a LONG time. At least until I have enough money one day for the xtPro.

Feature:
A lot of features. Can plug mp3 player into it and play along. Tuner works great.

Quality:
It is plastic.

Value:
A lot for the price.

Desirability:
Small and works great.

Sound:
Pretty good, I like it. Not all the sounds are great but most are pretty darn good

Ease of Use:
Not the easiest to learn. Took a little while to get it dialed in.

Support:
never dealt with them so can't really say

Overall:
Great for pratice. If you want a floorboard to attach to it buy a floor model. It is great for what is made for. Small practice and can attach it to your belt.

Feature:
Again this thing does alot. It is just packed full and the combinations of effects and amps are just endless. The fact that you can practice with this using headphones then run a cord to your amp and play throuh it is a huge feature that is usually only found on the bigger boards. But wheres the foot switch? Just like the POD, the pocketPOD should have had an optional foot controller. I'm not even sure there would be a way to plug it in to the current model. Maybe in future models, maybe just buy the big brother, which leaves this in the drawer or tucked away in your gig bag while you setting up your larger more usable POD.

Quality:
Feels a little cheap but then again I havent dropped it yet. A little afraid to find out just how durable it is. I love this thing and I'm not quite ready to see if it would break. It is meant to be ultralight and ultra portable and thats exactly what it is.

Value:
Tons of bang for very little buck!!! For the price you cant beat it. A little over what I would have normally paid for this type of device but seeing as how prices tend to run on popularity I didnt mind paying a few bucks more.

Desirability:
Just pick it up!!! Enough said!!

Sound:
Okay let me clarify by saying this is the best at what it does which is digitally recreate a truckload of effects and amps and it does it fantastic!! The sounds this little thing puts out are nothing short of incredible. And this coming from someone who has spent the majority of his career in analog heaven.

Ease of Use:
Out of fairness, like anything else, once you have played with this for a while it gets really easy to use. But it takes a while and since it is small the controls are small, nothing to mount it on while you tweak the settings and fight the cords pulling it into the floor where you wish you had a pedal to stomp on. But it does what it does. Another great Line 6 feature is the ability to plug it into the computer and adjust settings and save your own sounds as presets in the POD. The problem is the software is not quite finished and users including myself have never actually got the software to run. My program wont even load. So hopefully in the near future they will get the bugs out. It is a free download from their site and you dont need the software to use and enjoy the pocketPOD

Overall:
The only reason I didnt give it a ten is because I am already looking at the big brother POD, or maybe even PODxt. I would have loved being able to plop this thing down on a waiting foot controller and be in floor board heaven after I had spent the last 2 hours on the bus dialing in the tones. It is what it is... and a little bit more.
