Line 6 POD Express

[Sascha Franck]

Or, you just use your ears anyway.

Sure - but you know how it is with "un-knowing" things.

 

[mbenigni]

Well, I'm sure you know how it is with batteries and chargers...

At 5400mAh, and rechargeable with a typical USB-C cable, these are not your father’s rechargeable batteries. They’ve solved tons of miscellaneous gear problems for me.

I know. But they're 9V blocks whereas the Pod Express needs AAs.

So what is it?

 

[CakeEater]

What a neat she tidy solution, I might buy one and just put it in my guitar case as the ultimate portable rig. My one regret is that the 2203 didn’t make it in, but the Cartographer and Placater are great amps.

Just on what Brian from Worship tutorials said, can I get audio over usb? Can I connect my iPhone and play backing tracks?

That's what it says in the manual.

 

[Hush]

For me this is a no brainer. Perfect for when traveling. This plus my headless guitar is going to be a great combo.

Awesome! I’m sold! It’s the ultimate travel rig!

So what is it?

I'm guessing it's a white hole.

Is there a chance for loading IR's via the desktop app, later on when it's available?

That is a remarkably compact set of questions!

 

[Enchilada Jones]

Someone said it records a DI as well as the output. Is that a stereo output and a DI via USB? Pretty serious for a plastic under 200 modeler!
I wonder if the USB routing allows it to be audio interface and internal modeling, effects, etc off

 

[Sascha Franck]

Looks exactly like that in the manual. USB 1-2 = processed (hence very likely stereo) final output, USB 3-4 = DI guitar.

 

[Enchilada Jones]

Yeah, same as the other boxes. 1/2 is wet, 3/4 is dry DI out, or something like that. So you can record whatever you want, and tweak later in Helix Native.

Sweet Jebus my Kemper Player is getting worried right now!

 

[Jarick]

This looks like a super fun product. Congrats on the release Line 6!

 

[JCW308]

I wish they made an acoustic version (for acoustic guitar). The bass version looks great!

Saw a couple reviews from bass players gushing about the thing. I don't think there was any similar product for bass on the market before the POD Express - let alone at 180 bucks.

 

[CBHScott]

YES!

 

[Digital Igloo]

Is there a chance for loading IR's via the desktop app, later on when it's available?

Unfortunately, no. We don't even have the ability to change mics, distance, or position—Just 7 factory Cab IRs. Simplicity and cost are key here.

 

[mbenigni]

I know. But they're 9V blocks whereas the Pod Express needs AAs.

There are equivalent products in AA format now. Where there’s a will, there’s an Amazon search.

 

[jellodog]

Mmm. 48 kHz native. Perfect.

That's a seriously well written manual, BTW
