its neat to see Line 6 Pod go from a punchline to one of the most useful devices in music today

[smoothsavage]

I love how Line 6 is always coming up with new ideas for devices. I'm not going to get this as i have a Helix already, but i think it's cool for folks on a budget or folks who dont need/want much.

[damienhenriquez]

Imagine this around the house with a wireless setup - now, that’s a fun Saturday afternoon

[chrisfit]

It looks like a Multimeter. I love it!

[aberuper]

My first Line 6 product was a Pocket POD I put on my pedalboard to cover amp modeling. This looks like everything I loved about that setup x10! Nice work L6 👍🏼

[moroboshidan]

It's amazing how things are evolving.

[GOICOBA]

This is a fantastic idea. Thank you especially for including a Headphone out and battery power!

A battery powered mini POD! Sitting on the couch with some headphones just got very easy!

[NateMonoxide]

Bought one and currently using it in 2 different contexts: firstly, it's replaced the tuner and various distortion/overdrive and effects pedals on my pedal board (making presets is easy and fun).
Secondly, it's doing alright as an audio interface. The helix amp sounds are pretty decent for recording.

Minor gripes: very slight occasional crackling when using it as an audio interface. Really need that software release so we can dial in settings more precisely. I'd like to have a precise BPM on my settings rather than rely on the tap function.

Overall, well worth the money. I've spent more on pedals that I've used less, so I'm pretty happy with this.

This is cool. Line 6 never dissapoints!

I’ve already got an amazing, VERY small setup that can run direct into the front of house. My Quilter Labs Super Block UK. It can also power a cab easily. I do love that this is just a little smaller and I can just roll with a couple of pedals as well. Crazy awesome!

[GrimyRen]

Can you bypass the cabs on the right output? So left out would go to FoH and right out to a poweramp to have a cab on stage?

[Phoboss]

AAA Batteries supported!!! This is definitely a sustainable product.

[AkiraSpectrum]

Do you think you can add IR capability in the future? That would be AMAZING.

[leehenderson]

Mines on the way baby!! This thing is just perfect.

[etherlords]

I have it and it sounds amazing. Only 2 lacking to me are not having clean/crunch option/switch and not having an edit tool like line 6 edit since it has the usb c connectivity!

[triplev]

Great product. I have a helix already but nice small device.

[jacosmusic]

This is the Zoom 505 happening all over again and I say it in the very best of ways 🔥

[auburnengineer]

If I am going into a passive DI with this using an electric guitar, will I still need a pre amp? Basically do the batteries run the pod itself or do they run the pod as well as act like an active signal at the end to go into a passive DI?

[charliemore]

there is a bug in this pedal, this sounds great, but the footswitch keeps on when you change to a new presents, is annoying.

I dont think this supposed to happen. I use external F3/F4, but when I assign them to anything, It keeps on (Delay, distortion..), even if i go through all my presents they are still there on, this is weird. I think line 6 should fix this.
