Line 6 POD Express, Guitar

Sound Quality is much better than I expected for one of the cheapest Line 6 products. It does take a little setting up with a "cleanest'" sound possible if your using a amp so the cleans don't distort & getting more info online from Line 6's website but they offer excellent support & it's very easy to set-up once you READ the info about. User manual is available to download from Line 6 website free of course. ENJOY!

Here’s the big question on this pedal. Will this pedal do everything you need it to. Mostly, yes!My take:You need an amp that has treble, bass, mid, volume. That’s it! I have a Marshall Class 5 straight clean. 15 watt tube. In a bedroom, it’s all you need.I set everything to its middle, except for volume. Then you can adjust your rig from your pedal. You have to find your correct beginning level of volume, & the pedal will enhance your volume, After finding your beginning volume, you can use the pedal to adjust the volume with a foot switch. This will take some work to fix the right starting volume.I use the pedal on my music stand. I can andjust everything by hand.It stands out under headphones for practicing. Using a wireless transmitter at the guitar, and the receiver on the “guitar in” on the pedal. Then I used my Shure 440 head gear, wired into the pedal. It’s a very useful tool. Simple really. If you get right down to it. It’s not your Helix, but it’ll do quite a bit. For me, it’s all I really need. Maybe an acoustic amp with an a/b for my Axcess with acoustic bridge. Then just use settings on the acoustic amp for playing acoustic sounds. It’s just easier to sit down and play and get away from the world. Peace.

The user interface is really straightforward. It’s easy and intuitive to dial in the sound of an amp, overdrive, and some effects straight from the knobs without using any of the alternate options. With the alternate options, you can tweak all that even more. And the sound quality is great. I’ve run it into my amp and also directly to headphones and it sounded great either way. There are limitations to what it can do, but for a pedal that’s under $200, I couldn’t expect more from this pedal. Highly recommend.

For the price this unit is incredible. I was able to dial in more than all the tones I need. I did have an issue on the first gig with it. I had been using it all week to practice with but when we went to run it through the sound system it didn’t go. I need to study it a bit more to see if I need to balance the signal through a DI. It would have been helpful to get a owner’s/user’s manual with the unit but they have it on line.

I paid for a brand new unit. I was sent a used unit, missing the owner's manual. It was shipped in the box the unit is packaged in when it leaves the factory, no bag or shipping box from Amazon. The address/shipping label was put on the box covering photo of the unit and I can't pull it off without ripping the top surface to shreds. Then the unit itself is made of plastic. Had I noticed that in the description I would have passed on it.But, it appears to be fully functional. The unit has no scratches or blemishes. It's not worth my time to return it, so it gets three stars for at least working.

At 40 years old, I’m a bedroom/basement guitar player. I haven’t a need for insane combinations of sounds and effects. Give me a little distortion, chorus, delay and reverb and I’m a happy camper. I use this gem of a pedal with my Marshall DSL1 amp and it’s phenomenal. Also includes a computer interface if you want to record into Logic or Garageband, and my daughters often use it for Yousician.The simplicity and limitation of ~17 effects is the joy! Last thing I want is a device with complex firmware and presets that I have to spend weeks figuring out. This one is analog dials that you set and go. Don’t want it? Dial it back? More, clockwise to the right. Convenience through simplicity and a little limitation. Multi-effect pedals have come a long way since I started playing in the late 1990s. They’re at a point where if you didn’t have a pedal collection already, you don’t need to start one now. This little guy will handle those needs.

As good as modelers costing 4 times as much. Easy to use and once you set up a few presets thats all you need. SPends more time playing and less time tweaking settings! Crunch nails 90% of classic rock. Effects are good and you can set up overdrive and a modulation on the footswitches very easily.

I like how versatil and simple it is, and has many good sounds.
