"Podcket" - The Line6 Pocket POD

The POD guitar processor from Line6 has almost become a standard when it comes to professional-sounding guitar tone, guitar recording and generally speaking, guitars sounding good. The Line6 POD has been a most coveted guitar effects processor, sporting not good-sounding tones but a greater editing capability and a generic engineering principle based on the specs of actual big names in the industry, namely guitarists of today's mainstream bands.[admark=1]

Fit for both bluesy music as well as for the most demented grindcore, the Line6 guitar POD has rapidly grown to be a processor you'd expect to meet on large stages as well as in most serious studios, and from the rehearsal places of bands to the home studio of the wannabe rockstars.

Now, it's time to welcome the Pocket version of the POD ? the tuner-size processor that will deliver the same great tone as its larger brothers but which is thousands of times more portable and easy to use. The Pocket POD can easily be used with your guitar amp, in front of it or as an effect loop, as it can be used with headphones for safe playing in noisy environments or when the others need to sleep.

The Line6 Pocket POD runs on batteries and AC so you'll be able to take it anywhere. It can be also connected to your computer via the USB connector and this opens up a whole new horizon of tonal possibilities: you can tweak the presets on your very desktop via the downloadable Vyzex application or you can search CustomTones.com for a bank of over 3000 presets created by guitarists all over the world.
