Line 6 POD Express Guitar

I have been using this pedal for about a week with a Randall RD1 1-watt amp and a variety of guitars. I don’t think I could have asked for more when looking for a multi-effect practice pedal for home or maybe even for a small gig. It has the basic effects you would want and I found it pretty intuitive to dial in the tones you want. There is a surprising amount of versatility for each effect. I also really appreciate the built-in tuner. The amp emulator settings sound good and there is a bypass if you prefer to just use the tones in your amp (the effects still work even when the amp setting is off). I haven’t gotten into the presets or the looper yet, so I can’t speak to how easy it is to work with those. As for powering the pedal, you can run it on three AA batteries (they actually included some alkaline batteries in the box) or you can run a standard 9v power supply. I think the only wish I have for this pedal would be a dedicated power switch rather than the way it’s set up. The pedal turns on when you plug the instrument cable into the guitar input and turns off when you remove it. I would like the option to just switch it on and off instead. I also feel that the LED lights are a bit too bright (I colored them with a Sharpie to tone it down a bit). Overall, I am really pleased with this purchase. I still have my dedicated pedal board, but this will likely be used much more often for practice at home.

I really like this unit. I am mostly interested in clean tones, and this gives me a Fender Princeton model (my real amp) with delay, reverb, and chorus. Sounds great. The overdrive tones are not that impressive so far, but I haven't spent much time with them. I was looking for something like the excellent Stryman Iridium, but that didn't need to be plugged in to a power outlet. This fit the bill. I can go to an open mic place, and use this to put my Tele through the PA. Quick and easy.

I'm a pretty bad guitar player, so take this with the proverbial grain of salt... I have several single-purpose pedals (various distortions, etc.) as well as a large Boss multi-effects unit. I was looking for a single compact pedal that had more functionality and the POD Express fits the bill. I was looking for distortion, delay, chorus, etc. and the Express has all of it. The user interface is pretty simple to figure out and use. The different effects sound pretty good. Being able to run on batteries (3 AA) is a plus. It makes the Express a nice option to throw in the guitar case for playing with friends. The main downside is the effects are controlled by a single foot switch, all on or all off. I often find myself longing for the individual foot switches for each effect on the Boss unit. Nonetheless, I find the Express a nice all-in-one portable pedal and would buy it again.

Good but I couldn't get the noise gate to stay quiet. My old pod hd black bean is better. That being said, I did try using my pod hd as just a noise gate alone without a signal chain or amps paired to the express. OMG does that sound so good. As good as anything polished that I've ever heard in my life even compared to a kemper! I was easily able to achieve any rock god guitar tone after that with relative ease. I love classic rock and blues and this thing nails it paired with a quality noise gate! Line 6 PLEASE FIX THE NOISE GATE ON THE POD EXPRESS LIKE THE AWESOME NOISE GATE ON THE POD HD DESKTOP! CAN THIS BE DONE WITH SOFTWARE UPDATE? A TWEAK KNOB AND PRESENCE CONTROL AND THIS THING WOULD DECIMATE ALL!

I've come to really enjoy this pedal. Especially now with the app, you can tweak and adjust so many parameters it is really quite versatile. The IRs and amp tones are overall really good, and if you want you can adjust them to your desire. You may wish it had some more or different amp and speaker tone options, but otherwise I can't fault the sounds that are in here. I made some presets using different amps and speakers than initially are paired and am really happy with the result. The effects sound great, and each also allows lots of parameter adjustments in the app, and I love I can get all the basic tones I'd want in one portable package. Even without the amp, the amount of adjustments you can make just on the pedal is admirable, although it will take some figuring out but still nice to know you don't NEED the app at all to do a lot. Despite what another review said, there is even a looper tied to the delay switch. You can even turn the amp emulation or IRs off if you want to use with your own amp or speaker; I have a preset of just the effects turned on for that purpose when I want a simple multi-FX for easy jamming. I love as well I can assign the two buttons to different things, and that I can have one free to easily kick on the boost or drive as I want. I have a Tonex One and this thing for the money and actual ability to use it, blows that out of the water. This pedal I also haven't had issue plugging right into a PA and having the same sound as in my headphones; the Tonex needed constant adjusting to try and use in any live setting. I've been playing and gigging for years, have owned and used lots of different guitars and amps, this thing really is great. I would definitely buy again if it broke or got stolen.

Por lo que paga uno es un excelente pedal, sin quitarte un ojo de la cara

マルチやり遥かに使い易い。欲しい音が直ぐに出せるし音も素晴らしい。 孫のブランコにミニアンプを2個ぶら下げてステレオで鳴らしています。

Really quality sounds

Cuando lo pedí no le tenía puestas muchas esperanzas, tanto es así que casi estuve a punto de devolverlo, pero le quise dar un par de días de oportunidad, y menos mal que lo hice. Al sacarlo de la caja se ve un trasto plasticoso, tal vez demasiado, y eso echa para atrás, además se nota que a pesar de haberlo querido cuidar, han tenido que ahorrar en la carcasa, que no esta mal, pero definitivamente no es para ponerlo encima de un escenario y "maltratarlo", al menos esa es mi opinión. Pero cuando lo empiezas a usar, madre mía... menuda cajita de sorpresas, tiene de TODO lo que puedas necesitar para practicar en casa, de todo en la totalidad universal, y la forma de trabajar es sencillamente espectacular, un potenciómetro por tipos de efecto, modulación, saturación, delay y reverb, emulador de cabezales y pantallas, aplicación para ir al detalle... lo dicho, una auténtica cajita de sorpresas. Eso si, el sonido... la verdad es que es SENCILLAMENTE ESPECTACULAR!!! y eso de que desde el pedal solo puedas controlar la intensidad es el mejor invento de la vida, anda que no he perdido yo años de mi vida ajustando los pedalitos... con este no tienes mucho, salvo que te pongas fino con el software de configuración, lo dicho, es imprescindible para practicar en casa. Normalmente lo conecto a un Blackstar mini de esos de 3W, y va de lujo, ah, y que no se me olvide, tiene un looper si mal no recuerdo de 30 segundos y afinador, metrónomo no, pero el otro día que necesitaba metrónomo use el looper para grabar unos golpes de referencia y de lujo, muy espartano, pero funcional. En definitiva, cómprate uno ahora mismo, o no, pero yo diría que si... ejejej en serio, es el mejor trasto que he podido comprar para practicar, superando incluso a la guitarra!! PD: Line6 no me ha pagado, pero si quiere hacerlo que sepan que no me opongo...
