Learning with Line 6 | POD Express 1st Look

*** NOTE: This video incorrectly states that POD Express can be powered via USB. This is a mistake; it can only be powered with batteries and the DC In. We apologize for the mistake. ***

In our weekly Learning with Line 6 live stream series, the Line 6 Product Specialists deliver expert demos covering topics such as artist tones, presets, snapshots, and more.

Join us for episode 115 in which Nick Bell will introduce the new POD Express!
Nick will walk through the 7 amps/cabs and 16 effects, demonstrating how to dial them in as well, as other features.

If you have any questions for Nick, comment live during the stream.

The sounds on this are pretty good. For someone like me who only needs a few sounds for easy home recording, this device is perfect.

Excellent presentation, best one I've seen for this product. Thanks.

I bought my dad a HX Stomp, he still uses the bean.
Bought him Helix Native, still the bean.
I think this will finally get the job done and have him switching over to HX models. Old dudes do not like software menus one bit.

Having a blast with this thing. I've paired it with a classic Zoom MS-50g, which I have in front. Sounds awesome. The bass unit is cool as well, and I have that paired with an old Zoom MS-60B. The amps on the Pod Expresses are much better than the ones on the Zooms, but the Zooms are still handy for being able to add on effects that the Pod Express doesn't have. Good times!

To answer a question about "pedals in front" that was asked in the stream: Yes, they sound good (to my ears). In fact, I prefer the sound of my own distortions and fuzzes, running in front of the Pod Express, rather than the ones that are built in to the unit.

I heard the battery lasts only 40 minutes. What was the point of that?

[U-mann]

Kemper Rack user and have never owned anything Line 6 but this tone at the price and form-factor is a no-brainer.
Amazing tone running on only 3 batteries? Shut up and take my money. 💵😎👍

[DavidFeilyMusic]

Trying this out for some SXSW performances next week! Looking forward to trying it out with the batteries!

Just got mine today (4/27/24) Holy !@#$%! I was afraid to get my expectations up too high so held back a little. This thing exceeded my expectations in every way shape and form. Sounded great into my practice amp, sounded fricking amazing into my PC, first pedal I EVER had that sounded great right from the start plugging into my DAW and recording without even having to spend even 1 minute tweaking which I usually spend at least 15 and needing EQ's etc., etc, and also amazing with headphones.

And I'm a nitpicking guy when it comes to tone and functionality. Wish I would have seen this before I bought the ZOOM MS-200D+ 😖 Not that the Zoom sounds bad. Almost decided to keep that too but can't financially justify it. I couldn't be happier!! Oh, I take that back. I would be even happier if they make some editing software for this thing 😁

[zacharykim]

Nice demo guys. You guys have anything like a small, stereo, standalone amp modeler in the pipeworks? Would buy that in a heartbeat!

Awesome video.. I've got 2 questions.  1)How do you get a totally CLEAN sound on the POD Express? Mine seems to still have a little dirt sound on clean. Do I Need to lower all the Gain, Mids, Treble etc... down to off basically? 2) I can't get Logic Pro to work with the POD Express hooked up via the USB. It's recognized and set to POD Express in Logic Pro and in the iMac Sound Settings... but there is no audio coming out and it's not being recognized for some reason when I setup a guitar track. There's just no signal being detected. Probably user error... but Very Frustrating.

Useful presentation ... even better if you indexed the questions

[klawman]

can i use the power supply from my pod go ?

[darrylbutt]

Jesus, some people want Helix type range of stuff for 180 bucks.

[Mik_McG]

This does NOT power via USB. Not a laptop, not a wall wart phone charger, nothing will provide power via usb.. The video is wrong. It's batteries or 9v adapter barrel only.

[timothy]

Little Timmys first modeler!😂 no Nick, I am still rocking my POD2.0 and Floorboard in my music room for late nights. I like this but wish Line6 did put it into a Bean enclosure for nostalgia. I may get this, I like the AAA power option. 🤘🔥

[hybrydsanity]

does this contraption have a noise gate it sounds like it does on the hi gain stuff but i don't see any indication on the box. kudos if it doesn't need one lol is there a complete bypass of the whole pedal ? thats awesome you can change all 7 of the cab sims for each amp !!

[Neil-Aspinall]

I have a Moore Radar for recording Guitar into my DAW. Would I be more impressed with the P.E for sheer cab sounds, I would use my many OD pedals through it?
