Dude. It's a POD Express, with an amp, cab, and speaker for $20 more!

Damn! Great deal and with software update you get all the new features of the CX versions.

That is just too crazy - I couldn't NOT buy

Hows it sound pushing an external cab?

 

[dbagchee]

It would probably sound awesome but it doesn't have a speaker out jack and I haven't tried hot wiring to one my cabs.

No speaker out??

I DOUBLE NEGATIVES

 

[dbagchee]

Nope it's hard wired to the built in speaker. Pretty easy mod though if you needed it.

Wow good price.

I wonder how well this would work with a helix/hx into the effects return?

 

[holoholo]

I have no need for one but that price is so tempting. Grab and go for rehearsals for that amp in the room.

Except idk small open back combos can be so meh sometimes.

 

[dbagchee]

Wow good price.

It works great for that - it has a "power amp in" setting that bypasses everything and essentially gives you a powered guitar speaker - the main caveats is that it is open back and you may or may not like the speaker I think it's serviceable for everything but ultimate chug™.

Would like speaker out.. and stero power amp with stereo effects loop

 

[Lysander]

That's a stupid good deal for a 100w power amp with modelling. Would totally go for it over my FR-12 if it were available back then

It works great with my Stomp and PodGo. I’ve used the regular effects loop and the poweramp in. I like open back cabs, and don’t play modern metal. A head version or speaker out would be great but DI basically insinuated that the extra costs would push the price up and not necessarily satisfy a large enough market.

Dude, it’s fucking $200 bucks.

I’ve mentioned this before but not a huge fan of the speaker. Adding an EQ in the loop though does the trick to remove some of the harsher frequencies. Fantastic bang for buck option
