Line 6 POD Express Guitar
Line 6 POD Express Guitar
Cool guitar tones in a handy pocket-sized format
The POD Express is an ultra-portable amplifier and effects processor that lets you take your sound anywhere. Its easy-to-use operation and the models derived from the HX family deliver exceptional tone and an authentic playing feel. The POD Express gives you seven amps, seven speaker cabinets and 17 distortion, modulation, reverb and delay effects — including a looper — and can be powered by three AA batteries (included) or an optional 9-volt power supply.
Huge selection of amps and effects
Seven multicoloured LED segments light up to indicate different parameter functions. A red LED shows the selected amp model when you turn the AMP knob. A single turn selects an amp and loads a matching speaker cabinet. Using the Alt button you can access the alternate control functions (GAIN, MID, BASS, etc.). With the Tap footswitch you can either set your delay tempo or activate the onboard tuner.

Line 6. Few names are more associated with modelling and innovative sound design than the Californian soundsmith. The brand took off with the famous little red "bean", the Line 6 Pocket POD, in the early 2000s. Suddenly musicians in the recording studio could access a wide range of amp and effect sounds without having to set up complex rigs and mic them. "Modelling" suddenly entered the mainstream, appeared on almost every studio console and delivered sounds to home headphones. At session the POD series remains a top seller to this day, with each generation — POD 2.0, POD XT, POD HD500 — adding new features like improved sound, many more amp models and hundreds of effects. Current models like the Line 6 POD GO even offer the ability to use multiple rigs simultaneously, letting you play complex sounds with several amps and effects at once.
For professionals, Line 6 expanded its product range in 2015 with Helix, a kind of high-end POD offering endless possibilities to dial in the perfect sound. With professional routing options, displays on the footswitches showing the current setup and what was at the time the most realistic sound in LINE 6's history, the Helix can still be found on stages and in studios around the world. The Helix LT, a reduced model with fewer features, and the HX Stomp, a very compact, more affordable variant, later broadened the Californian's range with stripped-down options for smaller budgets. HX Effects completes the Helix family as a pure effects module without amp sounds and is extremely popular at session!
But at session you'll of course also find the other major pillar of Line 6's range alongside the multi-effect pedals: amplifiers.
Line 6 modelling didn't start in pedal form, but reached musicians first as a kind of all-in-one amp, the AxSYS 212, which contained a wide variety of classic amp sounds from clean to metal. From these roots later came classics like the Line 6 VETTA II, but also an absolute beginner top seller: the Spider! Today the Line 6 Spider V MkII is a true classic among beginner amplifiers and offers great sound for home, music school, rehearsal room or first stages for modest money, regardless of musical style.
Whether modelling amps for electric guitars, multi-effect pedals or now also wireless systems for instruments for cable-free use of your guitar on stage, Line 6 remains a standard for anyone seeking outstanding sound with maximum flexibility.

Ein tolles Gerät, um schnell und unkompliziert ein paar der wichtigsten Gitarren-Sounds zur Hand zu haben. Durch den Software-Editor eröffnet sich erst das volle Potenzial des Geräts, hier können z.B. unterschiedliche Amps mit verschiedenen Cabinets verbunden werden und zahlreiche Parameter der Effekte und Amps eingestellt werden. Es lohnt sich, einmal das Online-Handbuch zu studieren, um optimal arbeiten zu können. Der Line 6 Pod Express Guitar eignet sich als Übungsgerät, ist aber auch sicherlich – je nach persönlichem Anspruch – für den Live-Einsatz super geeignet, vor allem, wenn man mit kompakten Zubehör unterwegs sein möchte.
Clean Sound ist gut, crunch auch nur mit Heavy und Lead brauche ich noch ein bisschen. Muss auch erst im Live Betrieb getestet werden
Klein aber fein, guter Sound, bietet für mich neue Klangvariationen. Zusammengefasst: Man sollte es sich gönnen!
