Checking Out The New Line 6 POD Express!

[@3J_Music]

Its truly a great time to be a guitar player

[@thatsmynamesowhat2949]

lol, man it really is! It's the golden age for guitar players!

[@3J_Music]

@thatsmynamesowhat2949 some stuff may be better than other, but it's really all good

[@TheBonac]

Agreed wholeheartedly!!!

[@AlisonGirelli]

It’s always Christmas

[@clunt2548]

Ever since around 2017 its like a switch got flipped, its a very fun time to be alive as a guitarist for sure.

[@alexwalker67]

This is the kind of thing every little home studio needs. This, a decent microphone and some good midi drums and you are golden!

[@nobrakes3765]

Except the sounds won't be better than what is in the DAW already.

[@bendavies9157]

​@@nobrakes3765much harder to play through a DAW live with a band

[@connorhart7597]

Wdym midi drums? Like an electronic kit, with like the full stand, rubber drums or whatever they're made out of? Or fully digital? I'm just curious cause I'm doing some rough route planning rn to be able to record shit

[@limesplays2420]

Honey I Shrunk the Pod!

[@mr.e-machine9422]

I shrunk the bean

[@trevortwigg1384]

I like that the amps aren’t labeled as British, American, etc. It’s smart of them to not necessarily elude to brand amp so much as a style of sound. So you don’t expect to get a Marshall out of it. I feel like people expect replica amps out of these things instead of just being happy with a great sound.

[@gregmorales6194]

Ahhh, this comment! Well put and I absolutely agree. We can never appreciate what was given to use if we are unfairly comparing it to none comparable products. If we do, consumers are bound to shit on it and Line 6/ other companies would shy away from taking a chance like thia.

[@oldghostbilly]

I just bought a Pod XT Live 2 days ago, been having SO much fun with the amp modeling and making presets...yea I know im over a decade behind but I am very happy with my new sounds and thats what its all about!

[@dantana8570]

I still have mine. I now use a pod go good stuff.....

[@rosthariton7930]

I still have my Pod X3 Live after buying it in 2008 and have used it exclusive ly until 2020. Sometimes I play it to mix things up, even though I have HX Stomp and Quaf Cortex.

[@infinidominion]

XT Lives are awesome, some got later pedals and missed the XT Live

[@ryan_454]

That things sounds light-years better than the original. Amazing how far digital effects have come the last ~20 years.

[@foljs5858]

The original was still good enough to feature on huge millio selling albums and live shows, even if it was just a cheap "home studio" device. Nobody really cares once the song is fully mixed and the melody and playing are good.

[@bobisadrummer]

Between this and the Boss IR-2, pedals are getting so cool. Compared to Metal Zone plugged into a Crate amp I had when I was younger, these sound killer.

[@sethgross3904]

Use that metal zone as a preamp into the fx return!

[@skaldlouiscyphre2453]

@@sethgross3904 Nah, a Crate GX sounds better than a Metal Zone, and I like the Metal Zone.

[@stefpenfield5918]

Sold. (honestly buying the shit out of this pedal)

[@investingingeorgia8853]

Let me know if you want to sell it after you get all the shit out

[@TheBbtlegit]

Me too

[@brunvanderhorst]

What a fun design too, love this thing already. Such a quirky thing!

[@tommygreenthumbs]

This thing is so sick. I'm a father of 5 now and haven't really played a whole lot in the last 6 years but the price point and utility of it is pretty badass! Seriously considering getting one to jam with the homies.

[@he11bent6]

Sold haha. Just put my HX One up for sale. This is way more up my alley.

[@DarrenSMusic]

This thing is frickin' awesome. I'd buy one as an extra "channel" on my HX Stomp XL and throw it in the FX Loop. Worth every penny and sounds awesome.

[@GerryTrevino]

Great video Fluff!

[@ssmetalrulz]

I already have the HX Stomp XL so absolutely no sense in getting this too but still find myself wanting it. What an adorable product lol !

[@Slayer821]

Well it would be good portable way to play somewhere with headphones on.

[@che2335]

Make another dollar stealin a dime sell your soul just to buy buy buy

[@elalamofilms8492]

a good reason to get it? ... it can run on double AA batteries.. js! haha

[@Andrew-wb2zq]

I have the same and I'm tempted to replace it with this lol

[@timeconsumer325]

I have an hx stomp (which is one of my favorite guitar related purchases ever) but I kind of want this…. Line 6 have done an amazing job of putting the HX sounds in so many interesting and useful packages.

[@apfelmistnutte]

this is basically all you need. damn i need it as a backup rig

[@jwstout007]

Looks like the Catalyst in a box, totally just ordered one!

[@Pulse2AM]

very nice demo thanks, I thought it sounded really good in the mixed track.

[@PooNinja]

In classic kidney bean red 🤘🏽

[@jamesprosser7236]

So nostalgic for me growing up with the Pod v2 Bean!

[@justsomemincedgarlic]

A few years back I really just wanted a way to play electric guitar through headphones in my apartment and I ended up getting an HX stomp. It was more money than I was wanting to spend at the time, but it does so much that I made it make sense. I couldn’t be happier with my stomp, and I still use it literally ever day, but if this thing existed I would have bought this shit so fast. Might still have to pick one up just because.

[@danthegeetarman]

Wow this looks AMAZING!! Very cool!!!

[@Screwhead]

The software side of things, and it's capabilities, feels like it could make this a *GREAT* pedal for people that are looking for something that works well as a clean pedal platform, as well as having effects if they're needed!

[@GuitARPlayr100]

I came here not expecting a lot. And now I need a Line 6 pod express.

[@slimturnpike]

Same here

[@redbloodedamerican2346]

Just ordered a catalyst last night. Can't wait to get that thing

[@tylermarshall6180]

I bought two while they’ve been on sale, makes for a cheap stereo power amp rig to plug my HX Stomp into 🤣

[@redbloodedamerican2346]

@@tylermarshall6180 yeah! I'd say so! Friend of mine had one of those for sell a while back. Wish I had the money for it. The aren't cheap!

[@Crabfather]

Scored a cat 200 about 6 months ago. Plugging in for the first time, i was bloody angry. It sounded like *ass. The update sounds a lot better, and it's actually great in a band situation. As a practise amp, it's pretty awful. Takes a while to get it sounding right. But you'll love it in time.

[@redbloodedamerican2346]

@ninetydegreeplanet I've loved mine since the day I got it. The sounds is great. Even the presets are good on mine. Didn't take me 10 mins to get it dialed in. And I haven't even used the app yet

[@Crabfather]

@@redbloodedamerican2346 interesting. You didn't find it was harsh and rattly as sh*t and the EQ didn't seem to do much? I am starting to wonder if I got a dud.

[@AkiraSpectrum]

Wow, this is a great idea! Very interested.

[@chrismarcyy]

holy cow! I want one!

[@JeremyLeech]

Didn’t even know this was a thing either. But I’m interested!

[@blueshift9]

Pretty sure it was just announced today

[@aplanebagel]

I just bought a fly rig but I'm so getting this as a around the house practice pod and a multi effect :o When is it coming out though ?

[@troychrisman2035]

just ordered one from Sweetwater. in stock

[@josephwelch8498]

I've been using Line 6 products for a long time and this pedal is pretty cool. I'm currently using the Helix Floor for my live rig. I love real amps but the Helix makes it so much easier for travel and setup. In a pinch this little pedal could be a viable option. It definitely could replace the big bulky bedroom amp. Awesome review as always Fluff!! BTW, love the hoodie!! Representing Backroom studios in Jersey!! That's my bands home base. Currently in the process of recording with Kevin Antreassian. He's awesome at what he does and such an awesome dude!

[@jonkerrmusic]

I could definitely see setting up a handful of dynamic patches to cover different genres with this.

[@MSNGR415]

Bought my kid the pocket pod 15 years ago. He still has it.

[@aaronhiggs]

This is cool. 179.99 isn’t bad: but for 200 more you can get a pod go now. Such a cool time to be a guitar player. Cheap gear is amazing now.

[@jimsimmons2674]

For $50 more or even less you can get the Hotone Ampero Mini with a touch screen and many more features then the Pod Express!I bought my Ampero Mini before Xmas it was a open box in new condition for only $160!Even new ones at the time i bought mine were going for around $210 on ebay!

[@Anjohl]

Great review! I'm getting the bass version to use as a full "microboard", al9ng woth my handy TU-3!

[@joefisher5616]

I imagine this as maybe a Swiss army knife for some of those effects I use more sparingly. Also maybe filling the gap for a secondary delay. I could definitely see this making it on my board to save space on some of those effects I'm only using here and there. That's not to mention the fact that it could be a nice interface for quick and dirty recordings of ideas. Great review!

[@neilkorsgaard]

I got this to accompany my Tonex pedal and they are awesome together!

[@BNA_Est.1988]

Reminds me of the Rockman from the Def Leopard records

[@skaldlouiscyphre2453]

I still have my Pocket Pod. I've played guitar in my car using a tape adapter.

[@nickagervasi]

I didn't even know they were doing something like this.... But interesting....

[@smeemusic]

You won’t know when most companies do new products. What’ll happen is people get word of a new thing coming out and all of a sudden all sales basically just stop rolling in until the new release. People save their money for the new item. While this is awesome for consumers this is detriment for companies. So they gotta keep the cool new stuff under wraps.

[@jakewilson7211]

Perfect for using around the house for practice and writing, don’t even need a power supply !! I’d like to know more about the software

[@jtxiii]

It's like a Yamaha thr desktop amp in pedal form. And I mean that as a compliment since I love my thr.

[@resington]

Takes me back. Pocket pod express I used heavily when I first started recording. 09 ish.

[@Joel_Roberts]

I love it.

[@sb6232]

Fluff fluffin around and gettin some fluffy fluftone...sounds killer!

[@FunkyELF]

Looks cool. I got the Pod Go because it can do bass and guitar at the same time. Looks like they have a separate express for bass and guitar, you'd be almost the price of a Pod Go at that point... different use cases I guess. You can't run a Pod Go off of batteries.

[@brightbulbstudios]

Newb question but Where would something like this sit if you wanted to add a wah and pitch shifter to the signal?

[@juanjose5008]

Nice video, does this POD need a DI to play ot live ? Or can I just connect it directly to the mixer?

[@adammorris6402]

I just got an old pocket pod in a bunch of guitar stuff I bought this week!

[@ConstantineM]

Wow. It's amazing.

[@bibiinspades1953]

Can I throw this on my pedal board? Only want to use it for, Phaser, Course, Delays, Flangers effects oh and leads

[@TheG7thcapo]

Hmmm i will go for it!!! Love this!!!!

[@justinwood3278]

It's an amplifier? You can plug in to a speaker cab?

[@TheLaw1]

This looks cool!

[@benjaminvillarreal1499]

Do you need an IR loader or cab simulator on your board for this to sound right through an FRFR or pa system?

[@TristanL585]

I think you’re the first one to upload a video with this because I don’t see anyone else. Waiting for Ola lol

[@marcoblack9027]

Is this even released yet?

[@JeremyLeech]

I was wondering the same thing. I can’t find it anywhere lol

[@Ottophil]

I’m sure line 6 paid him to advertise something you can’t buy

[@JeremyLeech]

@@Ottophil line 6 just releases their video now too

[@JeremyLeech]

$179 on line 6 website.

[@redtiesgang8366]

Hi excellent review. I have a question. While in mode " presets ", can we change the presets with the footswitch ? Like a multieffects pedal ...the right footswitch for the next preset and the left to back and the presets before.......or you can only use the button in the middle to change presets ? Thank you :)

[@billyjay1]

Lets goo Awesome video !!

[@SamLibman]

Genuinely surprised at the sound quality. Good work Line 6!

[@KirkyDrums]

Great for the hand held luggage pre gig to get a tone

[@LuisPuentes]

Sample 2:56 Wow

[@capacitiveguitarresistance]

Damn that is a great sounding mix.

[@Idk58758]

Bro, when he said there was a looper 💣 💥

[@totalbullion5882]

I think Line6 hit a homerun with this pedal.

[@GeorgeThois]

is it connected to a guitar amp (tube) or just a general purpose amp socket?

[@jconner3891]

Want one

[@Metalhead0283]

i am intrigued. so am i going to be to go in the pedal and tweak settings on the effects and amp or maybe even shut off the amps and just use the effects?

[@pdxpete48]

I like the idea but if you have a line six amp and use it in conjunction will it blow your mind?

[@youWoNtLikeMe04]

This looks great. I'm glad they've finally coming down in size. Hoping the software will be good too.. $250 with expression pedal. Effing great price.

[@Brykk]

This doesnt show up on sweetwater

Chicago Music Exchange has preorders online

'I'd like you to meet my associate, Fluffy! Say hello Fluffy!' 'Agggh, Hello Fluffy!' 'That's enough Fluffy!'

[@JasonGreen-n3l]

I'd need a scorecard to figure out what preset I was on and what's in that preset. the light is purple so that means 2nd, no 4th. it's pointing to clean but I actually set it to a heavy sound. I think I had a pong delay but the knob is turned all the way down currently to analog. I turn that knob and accidentally change the bass level *head explodes*

[@ken92592]

can you turn off amp and cab and just use the effects?

[@beachsidetech]

Yes!

[@Paul_Lenard_Ewing]

impressive

[@christopherdamron269]

Are you getting your EQ from an external power amp or plug in, or is there a way to adjust the EQ from the built in amp sims?

[@mode3fpv931]

I like how simple it is.. what does the "alt" button do?

[@DugiDevetCarabolium]

Is it better then Boss IR-2 ?

[@deviatedseptum748]

Is your signal cut off while in preset mode or can you still play while changing presets? Would love to be able to instantly change tones live, especially in the middle of a song, without using a midi footswitch with a modeling amp/laptop

[@christopherheadcase6886]

Odd question. Can the outs be tailored to be instrument or line level like on the helix products?

[@hankbalony]

Is that Black LPC a Chipson?

[@paolo-1283]

Does it have a midi foot controller or external footswitch support for expanding presets?

[@Dustinchugs]

Looks like a cool little unit!

[@scottyboy8813]

Question, is this product good for beginners? I am learning how to play well going to learn how to play once I get my new guitar.

[@leehenderson8132]

Just pre-ordered mine,bit of a wait.

[@oniricPrj]

gotta get me some of that pedal. My good ol' POD 2.0 doesn't work anymore :-/

[@Michel-r6m]

You definately have a beard 🤠 Does it compare to a Boss ME-80 in terms of sound quality? I know it is made of plastic but plastics can be solid as make the unit easy to carry around. I like the formfactor!!! And with volume control on phones you can use it as a headphone amp 😊 Still watching the video 🤠

[@marvinmartin3438]

Dude, does this box have a cowbell? Asking for a friend

[@blastofo]

Is the looper stereo? How many minutes of memory?

[@thelolguy007]

How useful is it live? Ie how easy is it to get useable tones in a live setting with only two foot stitches?

[@21stcenturymetal31]

Actually pretty simple and cool. Just add a IR loader and a FRFR or power amp and cab and boom small foot print and portable.

[@GROCK619]

Seems pretty cool

[@Jesusisatthedoor777]

Can I run this live through a guitar amp and cab?

[@Spoony2121]

can the amp sims be turned off? and strictly used for the reverb, delay, etc. ? id be sold if so

[@superduperj1202]

wish I had checked this out before I bought (and waited 3 months) for the new Boss IR-2 Amp and Cabinet.

[@TALKnet11]

My daughter started playing and we looked at and tried diff pedals and we both prefer dials - I like the Boss me 50 to 90 style and I picked up the Pod 2.0 and Pod HD for some older tones that sound great. The Boss ME-90 is big so I will prob get this. I like the style -tactile... I hate menus - take you out of playing and into thinking. I picked up the Mooer P1 and Spark mini amp/app for my daughter and she never uses the app - Just the min amp and the Pod HD.

[@Paragorn]

How would this compare to the Solar Chug pedal? :)
