If line 6 would drop an “HX One” but solely for their amp/cab models, I think folks would eat it up (especially if you were able to run dual amps and pan L/R). That being said, the Pod Express is awesome!!

The problem with that is that the sales for the Stomp will drop and profit margins for that the stomps are higher due to price difference. So they needed to come with this express which is way lower price to produce with HX One price almost. is all business

For its size and practicality, what this product delivers is fantastic. I would buy one if I hadn't bought a Kemper Player a while ago. And the Kemper player, despite the price, delivers much more in a similar size. But it wouldn't be a bad idea to have a Pod Express as a backup.

I bought this pedal on the spot: it’s like a catalyst in a box, I’ve an all tube power amp, & cabs at the ready. I disabled the cabs in a bank of the POD & I’m set. It’s wild to think that I was in the market for a Matchless Hotbox preamp & I think this thing covers more ground. Crazy!

@cambriakilgannon12
@cambriakilgannon12 4 ай бұрын
The pod express does have the ability to overwrite all 21 of the preset spaces. it also has an instant preset mode in the global settings where it'll instantly load the preset as soon as you select it, which means you can set your presets in the order you'll be performing them and just cycle through them as you go. There's also a slower "load preset" setting that allows you to cycle through them without audibly loading each one. I think it would be neat to have button dials for the effects dials (there is a button on the AMP dial) so you can save a certain amount of reverb or whatever globally and recall it with different presets, but I'm not sure if it's more useful in a gig than just running through your 21 presets sequentially. It has two control inputs so you can also map a dual footswitch to control effects, volume, cycle presets, etc. I think that's close enough to what you're asking to consider it a gig-able unit.

Sweet POD Express tones! I'd adjust the gain down to start for each amp (after "Clean") as the preset has it set pretty high. Senior living in a tiny suite with no room for combo amps and pedalboard. Don't want a complex fx pedal with LED menus, just some knobs. I've ordered this, it has a lot going on. Bonus, it's from HX lineage. (Cancelled the IR-2 order.)

The front panel interface is extremely well done and intuitiive imo. The sounds are okay. I didn't love the Distortion section very much. It's definitely a useable box though. I don't use modelers but not because I hate them. I just have an amp and I can get to my DAW using my Power Station and Two Notes Captor M to host IR's. THis box sure would save someone who doesn't already have an amp etc. a lot of space and dollars though. If I was going only use a modeler though, I'd probably take a step up to at least Helix or something in that range or higher. I think I'm probably too finicky for this pedal.

I was using a NUX Mighty Plug as my sofa/headphone amp. But plugging straight into the guitar doesn’t work well with my sofa guitar (a Steinberger). So I’m currently using a Spark Go, which is generally a step up from the Might Plug. But I’m kind of annoyed that I could use a wireless footswitch to turn effects on & off, but only if I have the app open. So the new Katana Go has my interest, and maybe I could get by with a double-female adapter so that I wouldn’t have to plug it straight into the guitar. But the Pod Express is interesting because it might be able to serve the same purpose, not take up much more space than the Spark, and give me actual knobs.

Sounds great. Kinda like baby HX Stomp with some Yamaha THR flavor. I love the form factor. I could even live with the hidden menus. Something like this and a Digitech Trio+ could make a great busking or jam rig. But there's two things keeping me from buying it. (1) No compressor. Minor thing, but I'd rather have comp than a boost, especially since a comp can be a boost, but not vice-versa. I'm jealous the bass version has a compressor (2) More of an issue for me is that there's no quick and simple way to switch non-sequential presets. If I have my clean sound on preset 1, and I'm not on preset 2, I have to cycle back down with multi-tapping or bending down to turn the knob and hope I'm accurate enough to hit 1 of 21 on the first try. Kinda makes it unusable for spontaneous live changes, IMO. If Line 6 could add a compressor and allow preset assignment to footswitches (making it configurable as an up-to-4-channel amp with external switches), that'd make this a no-brainer for me.

Nice one, bud... please could you try recording on a tablet,ipad phone..." garageband," etc. I think there is a big reason this would be a big plus ... for portable guitar. interfaces on the go as both tablet"ipad" Pod express can be portable. Love ur guitar playing my man❤

Fully agreed, and it wouldn't take much to do a Roland Jazz pedal with built-in chorus & reverb effects from that design platform

It sounds great as a small tone machine but with no Bluetooth to practice over backing tracks would stop me from buying.

You cannot reduce gain on the amps except clean?

Hold ALT button while tuning the boost knob. This works on all amps.

@@ikotsus2448 It's all in the very easy to read manual. This little unit has a lot of features. You can set the Gain, Mid, Treble , Bass, Precence, Channel Volume and Amp volume. You can assign any of the footswitches to switch any of the fx on and off. You can also add an additional dual footswitch and do the same with those. You can save presets and change between them live. etc.... Of course there are a few functions that would make this unit fantastic and for me that would be: IR loaing, midi and an fx loop. But as it stands it'll go in my pedalboard with a compressor, dist, boost and a dly pedal in front and a reverb unit after it. I will be able to cover pretty much anything with this set up as the amps in this unit sound pro-level. And bear in mind, my main gigging unit is a Kemper toaster with the remote. I just wanted a small fly rig. I am currently working on a pedalboard design specifically for fly rigs because what's available on the market doesn't quite cut it for me.

@@luisrobles5743 Thanks! I still believe that dual concentric knobs for the other functions instead of the alt button would be perfect because you wouldnt lose the initial position of each knob.

I think there is room for both. HX One has more effects and, importantly, more tweakability. I do think they should bring out a HX-Amp1 with just the amps/cabs (and IR support), to go with the HX-(FX)One.

Ordered one purely for a backup since I use the Litigator as my main helix amp model. Already have a 2 button FS and gonna put my Exotic Super Sweet right in front.
