I think the 5150 model in this unit can sound good, but the settings used in the video were bound to result in a bad tone. As a metal player, I would like to make suggestions when using high-gain amp tones. There is a reliable formula that results in a good metal tone. Rule number 1: DO NOT completely scoop out your mids!!! The guitar IS the midrange of the band's overall mix. With rule number 1 in mind, I suggest the following: 1) A guitar with a humbucker in the bridge. Active or passive doesn't matter, but any pickup with mid to high output is preferable 2) Overdrive pedal (Tube Screamers are commonplace) with the level about 90% and drive below 10%. This helps tighten any flub in the low end and helps to add aggression, attack, and clarity 2) Only use as much amp gain as you need. DO NOT crank the gain. Even though your tone is heavy, you still want clarity. It still needs to sound like a guitar and not complete white noise 3) Start with your amp's EQ flat. Only make minor adjustments to start. I like the following - Bass: 50%, Mid: 60%, Treble: 65-70%. You can use presence to add more brightness instead of scooping out the mids 4) Cab or cab sim: 2x12 or 4x12 with a dynamic 57 or 421 mic is a good starting point With any amp modeler, the POD included, the high-gain sounds can be great but they will sound bad if you do not set them up properly. Hope this helps!

Forget brand new user target market. I want simplicity. I love this!

I am a 100% tube amp guy, but when it comes to playing "worship" at church modeling tools are most practical in most situation...THIS pedal/tool is something that I may need to add to the arsenal. THANKS BRADFORD AND BRIAN!!!

These would be incredible to take on the mission field and gift to musicians in tiny churches all over the world! No need to worry about power supply type, just run on AA's. Incredible tone with easy to use controls for beginners or those who don't speak much English. Such a cool product!

Man, this sounds really great. Line 6 finally did it, they put out a product that sounds great without having to tweak it like with the Stomp and Helix and it's intuitive to use!!!! Quick and dirty and great!!!

This is perfect. This is right up there with the HX Stomp. Line6 has won the guitar pedal wars.

It might be a really great distortion pedal for people who want that specific sound, But it's not really in the same category as this pod expressed. I would say it's in the category of like a blues breaker pedal. Are you sure you weren't thinking of something else?

killer concept... I tip my hat to Line 6 for this one.

Now we know why Line 6 came out with the HX one first then this. They want beginners to get both. This for three amps and the HX one for all the special effects that this one doesn't do. Great setup for a beginner just 2 pedals covers 80% of what they'd need for a long time.

I currently do this through my old POD X3 and I have a setup through a simple preamp instead of amp. Curious...if you plugged an acoustic into this POD Express and went with the clean amp, how might it sound?

Great demo! It seems like once you learn the interface you can do a lot of editing right on the surface which is great

I have the HX Stomp but this thing works with batteries. That's so great for outdoor gigs! So I might get one...

I would love to see this used on a Sunday morning. My only hesitation is how quickly would you be able to switch to different settings between songs/ parts of songs.

This looks amazing! Would you say this enough as the only pedal for rhythm guitar player ? And if so can you change effects during the same song with the foot switch? Thanks!

I had to buy it, waiting on delivery. I have listened to a few demos and there are more pos than neg points for sure. There is an undeniable digital nasal mid that is present in the gain sounds. I have had a helix, pod go, Tonex, tc and Onyx and even tried the NUX MG30 and Boss Me90. I think this box excels as a low price point solution. Its much nicer then the ME90. The battery feature is a big win. This little box has so many applications that it will be essential to have on hand. I was never a fan of the Spider style of effect editing but it takes you to useable places although not the exact tweak ability that a pro unit needs for dialing in the perfect tremolo for instance. This will be on my desktop and my gig bag. I wish it was released a year earlier;(could have saved me a bundle).well done

The volume jump when changing presets on the Spider series is a deal breaker.

EXCELLENT Video...... Question, could I plug in a Boss RC-!0R to this or does it not accept other pedals.

I want to use this for Worship busking with a JBL Eon ONE Compact. Will you be releasing some presets for me to download?

Hello WT! First of all I want to say I'm a huge fan of everything you do and especially appreciate the wide range of topics and tones discussed. In a world where 3 out of every 4 videos is how to get the best metal tone, you all restore my faith in the journey that is tone chasing. So, thank you! Now to the pedal.... I should preface by saying Ive had some experience with all of the modelers. Ive owned the FM-3, a Helix LT, and am now a QC owner and user and the QC will be sticking around for a while. My initial impression of the L6 pedal is "why would they make that? It seems like they're reverting closer and closer to the "red bean" days." The pedal was sounded ok to me with the clean tones. However, when it gets the slightest bit of dirt and increasingly worse with more dirt, it seemed like you struggled to get a useable tone out of this little mistake of a product. Thats not an admonishment of WT or their abilities, but Line 6 in general. In my humble opinion, Line 6 in quickly falling behind the pack in terms of authenticity in the modeling scene. It seems like they rest on their laurels, if I can say that, and milk the HX engines while their competitors seem to pour more energy and resources into capturing true essences and characteristics and general authenticity of amps. Some of the competitors don't have the library of effects than Line 6 has, but......so what. How many delays and reverbs do you need to be able to choose from? To me as a consumer, I once again have to ask "why did the make this?" Line 6 took what you already had in the HX stomp, in a not much smaller package, and repackaged it as something "new and improved." How bout you take a few years, stop releasing essentially the same product over and over, and sink some resources into R and D. Ive just honestly grown weary of seeing the market flooded with things from Line 6. There's a reason slowly but surely pro players are shuttering their Line 6 gear and moving to Neural, Fractal or Kemper. It would be refreshing to see something from Line 6 that makes us say "wow!". But they retain the same stale amp models that dont get any better, no matter what box it comes in. In fairness, sound and tone are subjective. So what I may think sounds like something Zoom released in the 90's, someone else may think its the greatest thing theyve ever heard. But, thank you again WT for the work you put in and dedication to the craft. God Bless!

Absolutely love the pod. The matchless AKA “chime” with the Princeton cab is so good with just some gain and verb to taste. I’m trying to get better at the gain balancing. Having trouble with it being too quiet without the distortion, so I turn it up, but then it blows my doors off when I switch on the distortion that I have set to the footswitch. There are 3 volume controls. Alt + center knob, alt + tap + delay knob, and the headphone volume. I’m a little confused how to juggle these settings. I’ll keep practicing! God Bless!

Sounds really nice…

Anyone know how long it stays powered from the batteries?

On page 13 of the manual the say that you can set the output to line levels through global settings but on page 27 and forward there’s no reference on how to do that. Do you guys know how to do that?

Thanks for thorough demo on the Pod Express control settings. Nice to hear P90s demoing the effects section. Old fart, just recording casually now. I cancelled my IR-2 backorder, this better suits me. Skip using Bias/DAW and I can just turn knobs again (with labels I can actually read, cough, Boss). Now how many months we have to wait.

It looks so fun.

Can I run this with my guitar amp for live use?

This would make a killer practice/mobile recording rig! And only $179? 😮

I purchased one for our other guitar player to use just as an amp model to run his pedalboard through and to our board. And when he needs to play accoustic he can just hit the on botton and bypass the amp. Worked great yesterday during service.

ToneX should do this with a FX pedal that you can load say 4 amp captures. Needs like 16 fx with 4 a time with amp captures.

When the HX One came out, I thought it meant that Line6 realized that the HX Stomp was too good and they were going to phase it out and leave the HX Effects, Stomp XL, etc. so there was no sweet spot perfect pedal and you'd have to compromise... but now they've rolled out another perfect pedal for a different category, and I'm becoming hopeful that they are going to double down on perfect pedals across the board. Is this not the HX Stomp of pocket pedals, and battery powered too?!?!??!

This is fantastic - i am genuinely surprised that they went with more boutique amp choices rather than the same old same old. I'll definitely be getting one of these at some point just for the safety net of having a backup modeller in case something happens. On a different note, this is a great walkthough video. I'm new to your channel as worship music isn't my thing but I really appreciate your style of presentation - its really refreshing when there are so many obvious shills out there who'll say anything is great because they're getting paid to do so!

At that price point, this is a fantastic backup option -- if my board flakes out I can keep one of these in the sound closet and get by in a pinch. Or if I have a kid who wants to get into volunteering on the team but he doesn't really have any gear I could loan out something like this without losing a lot of sleep. Throw one in a box under the backseat of the van and if I show up somewhere that my amp is going to kill someone (or if I have a volunteer show up with a 100w amp that's not going to work on a Sunday morning), throw it at the end of the board, great direct solution in a pinch. I'm gonna have to kick the tires on one of these.

Thank you soo much for such a through review. I'm toying with the idea with stand alone effects pedals or a device such as this..this device seems much better value with a quality sound. Most Important thing in opinion. As a newbie like me would you advise going down the multi effects pedal route such as great bit of if kit as the pod express or.. stand alone pedals such as tone city great value pedals but limit to one effect.?

She doesn't say some bullshit macho shit like "I will destroy you" she's just like "nah spells are fun and voodoo spooky.” And she looks so happy. I mean this is an inanimate object that literally brought my guitar to life by magic. It understands it's life is a temporary magical gift and the dude is just fucking loving it.

Can it be tweaked to dotted 8th?

The ultra-portable POD Express amp and effects processors lets guitarists take their tones wherever they go. Simple controls make it easy to use, while models derived from the HX family of processors ensure exceptional sound quality and authentic feel. POD Express offers seven amps, seven cabs, and 17 effects-including a looper-and it may be powered by three AA batteries (included) or an optional 9-volt power supply.

I am gonna bypass the cab and amp sim in this and use it in my fx loop as a mini hx effects. A great way to add some more versatility to my live pedalboard. And it also gives me a tuner and a looper without taking up much space and very cost effective!!
