Great Sounds Good For Recording

The Line 6 Pocket POD has a lot of great sounds in it and I've used it for recording and gotten really good results. I own mine for over 10 years. There's a section where you can pull up guitar sounds used by bands (bands from the earlier 2000 era), and there's a song section where the guitar sounds are taken from famous songs from bands like VH, GNR, SRV, Sabbath, Zep, etc. Only issue I've had with it, which has been consistent since I bought it, is it doesn't always turn on right away and I have to plug and unplug it until it turns on. Aside from that glitch, I think it's a really good emulator.

Works amazing a lot better than I even thought easily download tracks off the internet on to the pod take it anywhere you want worth every penny.

It's 2022 and this thing still rocks!

Honestly, I always wanted to get the Line 6 Pocket Pod but never did. Many many years later here I am. I got the POD to add effects to my guitar outside of my DAW to save me from draining my computer and to have some fun playing guitar out of the POD with my headphones privately. I really love all the options on it as a songwriter and the sound is solid. For being 2022, this thing still rocks! Still waiting to travel with it which I am sure will be a breeze because of the size!

What Do Our In-house Gear Experts Think?

Chris McCown

From clean to mean, this little POD comes ready to rock. Extremely portable - use it for a quiet practice solution via headphones, or combine it with a Fender Mini '57 Twin (for example) and clip them both onto your belt - you'll be amplified, "wireless," and prepared to entertain!

Joe Hebert

The Pocket POD is a powerful and unique effects unit. Rather than putting an effects processor for the guitar on the floor as a pedal or on a rack, this little kidney bean fits on your belt, which would be an interesting sight for an audience: to see the performer handle his effects from his hip and have the same options as many multi-effects pedals. The interface is as simple as can be: several conspicuously labeled dials and a 4-direction transport that you use to navigate through the preset libraries. Although there are only a few of these libraries (popular bands, songs, and user-defined), the Pocket Pod can hold over 300 different presets, and each of these can then be manipulated further with additional reverb, tremolo, flange, etc. Imagine having the same sound from a 311 song, or Metallica, or Sublime, and then adding a bit of chorus or any other effect you want. Grungy distortion, smooth reggae, trippy acid-rock, and many more sounds are available with the Pocket POD, and I recommend it for beginners who want an inexpensive practice tool as well as performers who would enjoy having control right there on their belt.

I found the Pocket POD to be very enjoyable to use with a lot of flexibility contained within a small, cost-effective unit. I took one home, plugged in my headphones, and started flipping through presets, which by the way couldn't be simpler. I got a kick out of the different presets and their associated names - such as "chugs and kisses," which is... you guess it... meant for palm muted downstrokes on a very overdriven amp! Then there was "slow swell," whose name again gives an idea of what the sound is about - a very slowly opening gated effect with some light overdrive and delay; almost synth-like if played correctly at the right speed. Perhaps the coolest feature of this little unit is its portability. Being the smallest of the Line 6 family, and small it is - measuring a mere 5" x 3.5" x 2", it lends itself well to being able to be transported almost anywhere, anytime, by anyone. It will easily fit in a gig bag or case, and even in the front pocket of a comfortable fitting pair of pants (I tried it). It even has a belt clip! I plugged the Pocket POD into my mini guitar amp that runs on a 9-volt battery with two watts of power and a 2" speaker. If you haven't tried any similar products such as the Fender Mini Tone Blaster or the Fender Mini '57 Twin, you would not believe how much output such a tiny amp can have! I clipped both the mini amp and the Pocket Pod onto my belt and I was mobile with a whole lot of different sounds at my disposal! It was akin to an economy "wireless system" for a small space! This is a great product for any guitarist who needs mobility and/or privacy, with many different editable sounds to choose from and practice with. It's a great solution for guitarists who live in an apartment/dormitory/anywhere that there isn't a lot of space to store even a small practice amp.

Most of the guitarists here at Sweetwater remember well the first time we heard a Line 6 POD - that strange kidney-bean-shaped gadget that totally rocked the guitar world. As one of the world's largest Line 6 dealers, we've had a first-row seat to every groundbreaking release they've come out with. In fact, many of us gig out with Helix, their latest multi-effects pedal, or their modeling amps every week. What's more, Line 6 brings the same innovative approach to their live sound equipment that's made their guitar gear so popular. Whether you're looking for the perfect guitar rig to cover a wide range of styles or fantastically affordable digital wireless, ask your Sales Engineer about Line 6.
