 "Perfect for me!" 2009-12-06
By anonymous
I've been playing guitar for 15 years now, and I've had a few different amps and heaps of stomp boxes over the years. Nothing will ever replace a real amp, or analogue stomp boxes, and I'm not claiming this little gadget will. So here's my situation and my impression of the Line 6 Pod 2.0:



I live in an apartment. My amps are long since gone (needed the money, so I sold them) but I really wanted something to plug into. Buying an amp really wasn't an option, unless I also wanted to find a new place to stay. I worked at Guitar Center years back and I remembered toying with these during the down time. So I picked one up a few months ago. I've been running it through my stereo system, and for what I do with it, I really can't complain.



The various amp models are all decent. You're not going to get a true Boogie or Marshall stack sound out of this. It does well enough so you can tell what it's emulating, but that's it. The special effects are nice. Simple to use and very functional. I really like all the knobs it has on it, as it allows you to sculpt your tone.



You'll hear some people complain about this. "It sounds sterile" or "That's not what a Vox sounds like..." Well, they're not wrong, but anyone looking for a pure sound out of a $200 digital device can't be that bright. The Pod gets the idea across, and it does a good job doing so.



I recommend the Line 6 Pod if:

*You live in an apartment and you can't have a real amp without getting evicted

*You live with other people and jam it out at night or when other people need quiet

*You're trying to record music and you want a variety of amp sounds and don't have a lot of money

*You enjoy like gadgets with lots of knobs and tons of different sounds to experiment with

 "Don't Buy This Device!" 2009-06-21
By B. Scalise (West Covina, CA USA)
I've owned a Line 6 POD 2.0 for a couple of years now. I was looking for something a little more robust than my Digitech Genesis 1. The POD came highly recommended, was not inexpensive, and so I figured the unit must be good. That evening when I plugged it in, I was anticipating an experience somewhat similar to what I'd had using other similar devices by Digitech, Boss, & Zoom. What I experienced was several hours of disillusionment and frustration. The device is real easy to plug in and get sound out of, the same as the other devices I'd used. The problem was the sound I got out of the POD 2.0. It did not sound good. The sonic deficiency is difficult qualify, but essentially, the unit sounds flat & unconvincing. Similar to the effect you get if you wire speakers or guitar pickups out of phase: the sound you get is constantly trying to cancel itself out with only partial success. You get a hollow sound, and with speakers, you lose most of the definition, including the ability to isolate where the sound is coming from. With the POD 2.0, I knew where the sound was coming from and I didn't like it. I chalked up my experience to user error. Surely the problem lay with me. I figured the unit is SO capable, that its complex, and since its new to me, I just didn't know how to tweak it into acceptable auditory form. As loathe as it was, I broke out the manual. I lined up all the shortcut hint-cards that came with the unit, logged onto the Web, and sat down to learn how to properly use the device. I spent days reviewing every line in the manual. I read between the lines just in case there was some piece of universal knowledge that somehow wasn't bestowed upon me. I read forums, and opinions, and lots of other stuff. I input custom patches created by others. I tried different guitars, cables, audio amplifiers, speakers, and had other musically-trained ears listen to the output from the POD. The inescapable conclusion was that the sound the POD 2.0 produces is crud. The unit is very solidly constructed. It comes with quite a manual (though it does take more space on its pages bragging about how wonderful it is than I would like to see in a manual). The switches and knobs and buttons and lights all work very well. It sports a gorgeous paint job. It just doesn't perform its primary duty adequately.



At the risk of sounding like I just hate Line 6, I'll add that the interface ergonomics of the unit, i.e. the way the controls function, the guides painted for the various options, is counter-intuitive. Sure, after memorizing the manual the device is easy enough to use, but what rock-n-roller has the time (or inclination) to read the manual? The other devices I have, Digitech Genesis 1, several Zoom multi-effect boxes, Boss & Ibanez effect boxes, Rockman II, and on and on, can all be operated without reading the manual, simply by utilizing the minimum of instruction silk-screened on their cases. The Digitech is dead simple. It has a knob, it tells you what the knob does, and has a description painted on the case for each possible setting. Not the POD.



Both of these issues are inexcusable. For a company as full of themselves as Line 6 is (as evidenced by the boasting going on in the manual), you'd think they'd actually pay attention to the basics and produce something with a modicum of usefulness.



I didn't return the unit, though I wish I had. Even after all those days reading and experimenting with the POD, I still figured it was me. So I kept at it off and on for several more months without even achieving sound as good as I got from my Zoom (straight out of the box with no adjustment). With the popularity of Line 6's guitars and modeling amplifiers, I've tried episodically to figure out where I'm going wrong configuring the POD 2.0. I've come to realize where I went wrong was in purchasing the device.

 "poor quality control" 2009-05-04
By Steven D. Glenn (Brooklyn, NY USA)
I purchased a Line Pod a while back. The first thing I noticed was the sound of a loose screw rattling around inside. Later, after only about 30 hours of use, the effects started fading in and out. It's now to the point where the effects are not produced and I've given up using the Pod and I just now feed my guitar directly into my amp. Needless to say I've been very disapointed with this purchase.

 "The Red Kidney Bean" 2007-12-29
By Mr. Cw Corway (UK)
This is one modeler which really does kick I have tried a number of these so called modelers and the Line 6 POD certainly does come at the top.I have used this mostly for home use and have not yet taken it out to gigs but shortly this is going to happen.

The unit is dead handy as it does not need an amplifier to work it i have this running through a HIFI as it is usually needed to practice new material and sits there in a convenient space on the desk.

The manual that comes with it explains all the different types of amps that it can emulate even the very expensive Messa Boogie amp is in here so to get that perfect Santana sound its here baby!Also on this unit you have a direct Amp A.I.R Mode so you can see what the requiredsound is like for an open or closed backed amp.

The manual that comes with it is very thick i thought there could never be that much to read about this unit and you will find it is in different languages hence the size of it.

Be very wary of one important aspect of this unit. Although there is some information concerning this unit and the aspect i will mention shortly it is not very well placed and the novice could end up with a unit which is totally useless.

The aspect deals with the Pedal Board that can be connected to the POD 2.0.

You must be aware that if you have the old Floorboard or FB4.

The Floorboard which came out with the original POD will not work on the POD 2.0. The POD 2.0 has an FBV Pedal labled connection where the older version had pedal connection instead.I don't favour the Ethernet connection either as this to some might be tricky to plug or unplug although once the plug is in it cannot be easily pulled out unless the lug has snapped off the ethernet plug itself. I have no gripes with this unit and would recommend it to anyone however be aware of the type of pedal which can be connected to it as this could be a costly mistake.

 "LOVE this product!" 2010-03-01
By L. Gilbert (Saint Joseph, MO, USA)
If you have a keyboard that can hook directly into your PC through MIDI or USB, then this is a must have teaching program. I absolutely love it. I have already gotten through the first 43 lessons and it has helped me a lot so far. I could already read music a little and could tell you where the keys are on the keyboard, so it only helped solidify this for me, but it has helped improve my music reading significantly. I love how it can tell you exactly what you have played wrong when you are hooked up to the PC. It will tell you the percentage of how well you did and whether you played the wrong note or played the note too soon or too late. It has helped me a lot with my timing. I can't wait to go further. It goes through both the beginners and the intermediate lessons, so there is a lot to learn.

 "Perfect Replacement" 2010-01-27
By Russell Blundell (Dallas, TX USA)
I'm the kind of person that gets really uncomfortable learning a new skill from a qualified instructor without having any previous knowledge of said skill. I was really interested in learning the piano so I chose this product. I'm glad to say it is a great tool. Two of my family members who are pretty good on the piano are amazed at the progress I'm making. The software layout is great in giving you the ability to go at your own pace. It always you to continue working on problem areas while skipping those you excel at. The structure of the lessons is great and easy to understand. I recommend this product to anyone interested in learning piano or anyone who is shy about learning as I am.

 "Be careful when purchasing the BASICs and METHOD" 2010-01-04
By D. Estrada (Boston, Miami)
Great product (Which I bought directly from Amazon), but...when looking for the Midi USB interface I noticed that Amazon was selling the SAME software but WITH the USB MIDI at $20 less!!! [[ASIN: B002MUALQ4 ]] Turns out that there are Piano and Keyboard METHOD which has 300 lessons and Piano and Keyboard BASICS which only has 50 lessons. Amazon sells the BASICs (50 lessons) software BUT with the MIDI USB interface at $20 less than the Piano and Keyboard METHOD (300 lessons). My point is that Both software programs have the SAME cover so be careful when purchasing!!!

 "Good job" 2009-10-29
By Dale Sanders
I think this is a great product. It walks you through the basics and when you start playing the music has numbers on it that match up to your fingers (1-5) so you can play as you get the hang of reading music. Gradually they remove some of the numbers so your music reading skills improve. The software grades your playing with a percentage score, and gives you details on your errors (if you want them).



Also, it includes short videos of a person playing piano so you can see proper posture and such. Each song comes with (optional) accompaniment, which can make it funner to play (especially with the simple songs).

 "Very well done." 2009-10-26
By Chris
I always wished I hadn't given up on learning piano, so I dusted off my keyboard and got Piano Method. I already know some basic stuff but navigating is very easy, so I got right into the section I needed to be. This product does a great job of building on concepts methodically that make learning easier. If you have a MIDI keyboard be sure and get a USB MIDI cable. When you play any of the songs included, after you are done learning the program shows you on the picture of the keyboard, what mistakes you made. It is very helpful. I am about 1/2 way through the program and am playing some songs. The songs included aren't ok but I am now able to learn some pieces of other songs from a few books of various bands I like. Piano Method teaches you how to read as you are going along, so you can really learn anything you like.
