Guitarists - Anyone bought a POD recently?

Posted by: J.N. on 22 October 2004

Ahoy there axemeisters

I've just succumbed to 'version 2.0' of the venerable effects box. At £130 (new) I couldn't resist.

Haven't tried it yet, as my Telecaster is currently being fettled, and having a new switch fitted.

I just wanted to check that I have everything I should have. The dealer says yes, but there was a piece of squarish cardboard in the box covering nothing.

So basically; I have the POD itself, instruction book and a mains transformer.

Anything missing?

I got some software on a CD, but lost it before I used it, so it can't have been very important.

I have a POD2, the software is available from the Line 6 website along with new tones etc.

I have Pod 1, it came with mains, book and CD.

The software allows midi editing of the amp models and effects - adding a bit of fun.

I'm waiting for the Variax workbench to come out!

I have the CD if you want a copy.

I love my Pod.

Now you need a Poddleboard.

Enjoy!

Thanks Stephen; I'm not au fait with all this computerised management of effects lark.

I've only just worked out what to do with the knob that goes up to 11 on my guitar amp.

Presumably the CD contains more effects which may be loaded into the POD from one's PC?

How then are these additional/replacement effects accessed?

The CD has a PC version of an editor allowing you to control all of the PODs parameters from the computer and save/load patches. I'm not sure you can actually access all the POD from the front panel - I've never used it!
