- Jonathan Gets his hands on the New Line 6 Pod Express and demos it for the Casino Guitars Crew!
The Line 6 POD Express Guitar is an ultra-portable guitar amp and effects processor - in fact, it's the company's most portable POD yet. The POD Express boasts seven amp models, seven cab simulations, and 17 effects based on cutting-edge HX-derived technology, along with a tuner, a noise gate, and even a looper. This unit's simple control set makes dialing in tones a straightforward affair; plus, since it can be powered by either batteries or an optional power supply, you can take it virtually anywhere. The POD Express flaunts tap tempo, stereo main outputs, and a stereo headphone output, and you get a built-in USB-C audio interface for effortless recording, monitoring, and re-amping. Finally, you can connect an optional expression pedal for real-time volume control or up to two external footswitches for preset selection and turning effects on and off. Over the years, the various iterations of Line 6's POD have broken new ground in terms of functionality, portability, and sound quality. Offering more of the same in an even more compact form factor, the POD Express Guitar makes for a stellar musical companion. - Розваги
Mine will be here today! I was almost afraid to watch this in case it sucked, but lo and behold, it DOES NOT SUCK!
😂 Lol ,, I feel totally normal now after reading your comment ,, thanks bro 😅😅 .
I really appreciate your takes on products that you're not dealers for. Keep 'em coming, please. 👍
Love the video. Good to see you do the demo thing for a change. Great licks. Keep up the good work and love the channel
Awesome demo, man. Excited about the POD Express!
I absolutely love your playing and that's a nice Tele! Great tones too!
Love your playing and that tele!!
I've been playing mine and putting in tones for just over a week now. It's on my pedal board right now with only a wah, tuner, compressor, and looper around it. It's handling all the effects and pretty much covers any basic setup I can do, from jangle pop to southern rock to creedy-dad metal to worship. I am not sure I'd record with it, but to take to a gig and be super minimalist with my pedal board, sure!
I had the pod 2.0 way back when. I would hook it up to these little computer speakers when I was in a college dorm. It was so cool. I ended up using it mostly for DJing though. Glad to see this demo. Hoping you guys get a new vox when they come out.
that's a gnarly looking tele. I dig it.
Jonny, just wanted to say that you have some classy decorating skills.
Loving the pools of light and clean mid-century lines.
Smooth Christopher Alexander Pattern Language reference. 🛋️
@@jim4588Incredible book!
That volume swell "steel guitar" thing you did on the clean tone was wonderful.
Thank you!
Nice demo Jonathan. This seems perfect to pair with an S1Pro as a busking rig or small backup rig. Cheers Casino!
I own this and the IR-2. They both have amps and reverb, but that's all they have in common. Neither would substitute for either. I assume the comparisons are due to their price points rather than their few similarities. I will say that the POD is a better at-home all in one. It's also outstanding as an educational tool for those beginning to learn what effects do what. Good demo as always!! Thanks!
And now Boss threw a tiny Katana into the mix! Yow!!!
The boss is much better built, metal vs plastic, but other than that one very legit reason, I don't know why i'd get it over the L6.
Good demo!
I got mine already! It’s awesome!
I bloody love a HS tele!
Just got mine. First multi modeler for me since I got a Zoom 505 as a teenager. Definitely a good gateway pedal. Limited options makes it easier to get started. Will say the tones were way better coming from Jonathan’s playing instead of mine.
for an old tele the shine and gloss on that fretboard is amazing..
Got mine a couple of weeks ago and it’s a great option for the price. For home practice or even a compact grab and go gig option with a 2 button footswitch and maybe a specific drive pedal in front in addition to the onboard options it could get you through. Certainly good as a backup option.
I bought the bass option by mistake. Waiting on the guitar version now. 3 more days. But now I don’t want to send the bass version back. Got some crazy tones coming out of this. Might keep both even though I have no bass guitar.
Might just be perfect for taking along to club jams, going into the P.A.
Sounds pretty good! I’ve been using a UA Dream 65 at the end of my board for fly dates, and this is pretty interesting at this price point just for that purpose for me (ie using just the the clean fender amp sim and spring reverb and my other pedal for drives/delays etc). Not exactly it’s intended use, but the amp sounds are good enough on their own, and then I’d have a headphone practice setup and a full backup rig already sitting on my board at all times.
Product or no product, I could listen to you noodle happily.
I have been on the fence also about this product. I am ordering today.
I’ve been a line 6 fan since I was a young with my spider amps. A large chuck of the market are gonna be younger guys just jamming out in their rooms. Line 6 has always tailored to that market. A full stack just isn’t practical for someone living in a dorm room or a barracks. They perfected the art of making big sounds in small spaces.
Got one a couple weeks ago. Absolutely love it through my studio monitors. But when I'm playing through my amps, I still prefer a simple setup with a few classic pedals.
Big John, you should do more demo's and not let Baxter have all the fun because I love your playing❤ 😊
I want to get one of these or the IR-2. I guess this has the advantage with having modulation and a tuner, but I think I still want the IR-2. I think the bass version of this is cool though.
Nice...id say keep this up..and even review the stuff you dont like so we can see the demo and determine if it's right for us or not.
It's also a great interface for tracking guitar in your DAW... works great for guys like me who are used to adjusting our tones with analog knobs rather than using plugins and making adjustments on a computer screen. It's also great if you want to run it directly to your iphone for guitar videos.
Def more vids like this.
I could do a whole 3-hour show with just that pedal and my guitar.
Great review of this box of fun, been undecided which make / product to go for in this line. am an average begineer , want to experiement with new tones, effects. play some of my fav pretenders stuff. i think will help me achieve that ? brian from swaffham UK ! Many thanks
So what speakers/monitors would go with while keeping in the inexpensive but good value situation.
What is the white(ish) hollow body guitar on the rack, it look super sweet. Now back to the video.
I'm the wrong person to comment on stuff like this as haven't used them much, with the exception of a Roland Cube 80GX amp that I use sometimes (and practice with most of the time) which has I think 10 overdrive mods built into the amp and I think they sound pretty good. When I do need some crunch I use the "Tweed" mod which I believe is designed from the Fender Bassman with 4 tens. My preference is to take an amp like that and turn it way up as rather than doing what I used to do, using one of early Mesa Combo's. I like a clean "dirt" sound that isn't compressed if that makes sense. I don't like the sound of distortion when it starts breaking up as it hard to keep the overtones from freaking out in a negative way sound wise and players that use pedals to give the sound more clarity end up with a compressed sound that doesn't cut through like I would want if I still played music that required that.
I enjoyed the video and once again Casino does a great job whether it is telling jokes or demonstrating equipment. Nice job.
When I thrash on mine (like Hetfield Metallica speed) even when all the effects are off I get a digital artifact that creates an extra "gallop" in my picking that makes it sound like I'm playing SUPER fast. It seems to fix itself after a while but it's really annoying, though. Hopefully it can get fixed with a firmware update down the road but who knows. Happens both on batteries and plugged in with a 500mA 9v power supply.
Was that set the '60s room?
I watch most of the videos because of Johnathon as he is just straight up to the point but keeps it clean and respectful and his playing is badass with good taste but keeps it real and for a guitarist that’s much like him I enjoy the videos more. I was on the fence with this from many bad experiences with past Line 6 but after this video I am actually going to place an order for one now! Keep rocking Johnathon 🤘🎸🤘thanks for more money down the pipe to hear about later btw👍 Be running it with my Custom Tele & Fender 65 deluxe reverb amp & my Supro Amulet 🤘
Would it look bigger if Baxter held it in his hands?
Is the analog delay generated digitally?
Demo the fractal FM3 please ..
Came here to hear the pedal but stayed for the 70s MEGO!
Wow. You have a 2XL!
These multi effect pedals all sound very thin to me. Guess it depends upon the sound system you are playing it into whether that is an actual amp cabinet, PA, or monitor of some kind. and how those are set up.
I was looking at that guitar on your web site a few hours ago, and go figure, you tube brings this vid up...hummm
It’s so good. I need you to buy it so I stop lusting after it. 😂
@guitarjonathan I'm sure it's a joy. I have to stay focused on the 59es335. But, I've been hung up on both those pink teles for a bit now..
@@musicman9418I can understand that. Eyes on the prize! Lol
Change it while you're standing playing and singing?
Isn’t that what presets are meant for ?
For $179 it's so much fun.
O’ll Johnny never comes hard and fast.
Screw the Line 6 Pod Express, let's talk about that awesome Telecaster you are playing! wow!
I think you have demo'd this pedal at it's finest: a great desktop fx.
But it can be no earthly use as a multi-fx on a pedal board unless you wanted to spend most of a gig bending over.
Good point 👍🏻 But if You spend the time to create presets for all songs of your setlist, You could keep it in preset mode and just toggle the presets with the built-in footswitches. Even in preset mode the 2 external footswitches work (which I‘ve assigned to boost and modulation effects).
So it could bring You trough a whole gig IMHO 😊
@@NeckBr8ker I think that would still amount to plate spinning in the middle of a set. It does look like an awesome AIO pedal though with a clever interface that even guitarists can manage. 😜
No simple volume or tone controls makes this a hassle on a pedal board.
Needs a red plastic kidney shaped enclosure.
Hey I’ve seen this one before.
No skin in the game=video you can trust
Sent mine back in 10 minutes ... cheap plastic and I did not realize the volume wheel next to the headphone jack also affects volume for the main signal. No thanks.
Meh.
Nope
Not worth this price.
