Bought one the other day - Thought I'd give it a lil review
Bought my new Les Paul the other day and managed to get a good deal on a Line 6 Pocket Pod.
I spend most of my time in the computer room, so there's no space to fit my amp in, so I needed something small that I could plug headphones in, or plug into the computer.
After taking it out of the box I was surprised how small it was (maybe not completely pocket size), big enough not to lose down the sofa but small enough to carry around. You have an input for your guitar and two ouputs (headphone, and AMP out).
The pod comes with about 300 preset sounds, suprisingly most are actually VERY useable. I was astonished when the "memphis" and "austin blues" presets worked perfectly when jamming along to some SRV. I can remember a few years back when I bought an effects unit it was filled with totally useable alien sounds. Dont worry, this unit does have a few of the more zany sounds, but they are tucked away thankfully.
You can also create your own sounds, from an array of effects, chorus, flange, gain, delay, tremolo, treble,bass,mid e.t.c - You also have a bunch for amp simulators to choose from so you can hear the difference in tones from different outputs.
Ive always been a bit warey of digital effects unit, in that they gave out an over processed sound, but I must admit you get some pretty authenticated tones,.. perhaps not at the gigging level, but perfect for practising and jamming.
