"line6 is the best i love the pod"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
this will probably be my only device of its nature unless it is destroyed.i choose this product over others because myt research lead me to believe that it was best suited for the work that i typically do. if i lost my pod i guess i would have to get the 2.0
Sound
i have the origanal pod. it gives me the perfect tones for my style. now i use it mainly in the studio and it gives me a wide pallet of sounds and has never left me down.it gives me every thing i need.
Features
it came with an adapter. the most useful feature has to be the chromatic tuner as well as the stereo output. one effect i wish it had is a phaser.
Quality
the construction is solid. some of the factory sounds are standard in my se up. its what i call my swiss army knife and it never fails. i have used it on the road several times. one thing is that i try to have more than one power supply because for some reason one wont work and one will and it does not handle cold temps. very well.
Value
i would have paid double for it
The Wow Factor
the bean shape gets noticed a lot.

"For the closet / up to semi pro -- this is a great deal for effects"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
would stand behand them for studio use anytime
Sound
Almost a 10 but not quite--- the xp will get a better mix --- beware the old footboard does not work well with xp though the xp gives you usb connections and effect/ amps/ speakercab mix and match.
Features
best used in studio--- cant overdrive from the instrument and maintain quality of sound.
Quality
awsome package and sturdy like a little tank
Value
great value-- would love to see the next generation rack system use the xp options and give a third switch to overdrive at will.
Manufacturer Support
great support folks--- you got questions? They have the answers!

"The POD 2.0 is the greatest effects - pre-amp there is on the market Today ...... Period !!!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I think this product will last me a life time! Seriously!! The quality of this product and the effects and sounds are supreme!! They will never go out of date.
Sound
The sound of the POD 2.0 is supreme! I mean the best! I use a Laney LC-II 100w amp and the sound quality is fenomonal! It has helped me achieve the sound i want 100%. I play music such as heavy metal, Rock, Punk and even some Classic Rock such as 'Jimmi Hendrix' and the POD 2.0 has all of sound and effects the you could possibly want.
Features
With my POD 2.0 I seperatly purchased a padded carry case for it, Which is a nessessary for keeping it in good shape. Also i purchased a mounting bracket and a 'Line 6 FB - 4' stomp box. The 'FB - 4' is very useful when you want to change your effect during a song! Exellent quality !!
Quality
With the POD 2.0 quality comes as standard. No loose bits! The POD is made from Hardened Aluminium which is nice and solid. I can depend on it, and not worry that it is going break on me. I myself have toured with it and used it on stage and its still in great working order !
Value
I think the POD 2.0 is reasonably priced for the Quality of the product
Manufacturer Support
I recently had a free service on the POD because of the 5 year warrant. They cleaned it up good ! Friendly service too !
The Wow Factor
The POD looks real good in thye metallic red! The bass POD looks good in the meatllic gun metal gray as well !

"POD 2.0 still value for money."

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I am still very statisfied, altough working with midi and others sorts of digital musicperformamce is making working with the 2.0 more difficult. I think that in a view years time I will get a new version of the pod. Or buy the newest Line-6 guitar with inbedded sounds and tones.
Sound
I own this product already for a long time and it it still one of the greatest pieces of equipment I own. If it is in studio or on stage performances I could not do without it anymore.
Features
I own the old floorpad, The new ones are better but are much more expensive. value for money.
Quality
Reliable piece of equipment, Nothing has gone broeken (so far)
Value
Much value for your money. You get a lot for little money.
Manufacturer Support
Had no need for repairs. Questions are answered pretty fast.
The Wow Factor
I have it, nice shape of the equipment, not to big. easy to carry around. This is a very practical adition to my equipment

"Superb piece of gear!!!!!!!!!"

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
great buy!!!!!!1
Sound
I get what I want!!!! great stuff.... but the in effects column, you cant use more than 1 effect on a patch (best of my knowledge)... and the chorus tends to give a flanger effect if not editted carefully. I would say get the POD for the AMP modes and get a rack for effects ... line 6 racks effects are awesome......
Features
Looks cute.. very easy to handle as the knobs are there to be tweeked and you get the sound!!!!
Quality
great great great!! value for money
Value
its the best not only in its price range but beats other gears of other companies that are priced higher than the POD 2.0
Manufacturer Support
I think it must be good.. never had to deal with them... says a lot about the quality!!
The Wow Factor
This is what I wanted all my life... I was wasting time on other procesors that have a synthetic and hollow tone.

Line 6 POD 2.0 Customer Review

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
A must have for a studio. I found out abt this product once I saw it using it in an expensive studio.
Sound
The sound is ok but it depends of the guitar. I used to have a low sustain guitar and it was really good. Now with the Epiphone it's a true hell. The sound is very narrow and thin in the high distortion.
Features
Yes it has a lot so even with a bad guitar or with an unsuitable guitar you will find out the sound that matches your personal expectations
Ease of Use
I think it's ok
Quality
Nice
Value
Good value for the amp. It sounds much better than a more expensive guitar effect tool.
Manufacturer Support
Never needed it
The Wow Factor
Yes I do

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars

OVERALL this is the only effects i use for my guitar because i know it give the best sounds, quality, and joy for me and my guitar!
Sound
The sound is the best part! All the diffrent effects that can be used is amazing..It makes all of the other Digital Guitar effects look bad!
Features
The POD 2.0 comes with 16 diffrent effects. The best features is where you combine the effects togeather and it will save the sound you like. Another feature is that the sound system has MIDI so it let's you hook the system to your computer! Also comes with a bulit in tuner.
Quality
The POD 2.0 has the highest quality in guitar effects. When I use my guitar I take the system everywhere I go.
Value
IT"S WORTH IT.. Stop wondering JUST BUY IT!!!!

"Heavy Metal Incredible"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
This is it for me. I haven't found anything better and don't expect to for a long time.
Sound
The built in presets are in the ball park and with some editing they are absolutley perfect. I use the POD 2.0 into a pair of Marshall JCM900s and run it in stereo using only the power amp portion of the amps. I play heavy metal doing shreds, sweeps, and pull offs and the feeling back in the strings is amazing. I don't need to boost the volume for leads, it seems to have some sort of built in limiter that adjusts my volume for me. After playing guitar for over 30 years this is the sounds I've been looking for. Nice job... Even my harshest critics ask me how I get my tone and are floored when I tell them what I use. If the tone youre getting isn't right, the POD just needs a few tweaks to get it there.
Features
The Line6 editor makes it a breeze to edit the tone to your liking.
Ease of Use
The Line6 Editor is about as simple to use as it can be. You'd have to be a moron to not understand it.
Quality
Never had any problems, works perfect everytime.
Value
I would have paid twice the amount and still thought it was a great deal.
Manufacturer Support
I'll give this a number less than 10 because they had a small issue with Win7 and Java compatibility which they fixed.
The Wow Factor
It would be nice if it was rack mounted. I know they have a more expensive version that is rack mountable but all their products should be made that way.

It's quite a satisfactory effect that I have owned but not still the one that I actually want.
Sound
I am quite satisfied with the distortion effects but the clean sound is really suck. The clean sound is much better without POD.

"Only a recording device."

Overall: 2.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
This product the POD 2.0 is a very complex device. This guitar processer is mostly for recording. It was all kinds of effects but lets you choose the correct sound. That's why, the POD 2.0 is more for recording...If your going to record something you want the best sound. Well you can a adjust that. So overall its really good for recording, but bad for just a fool around time.
Value
Ya it has all the cool effects...But i only use about 10 at the most!
