I've been wondering the same thing.

 

It should work the same....

 

Its not about it working different, I'm more on about the quality of the unit. And I don't trust online reviews much.

 

Looks cool. For the price I don't think you can go wrong.

 

you can if you're a teen like me and wade who dont have all the cash in the world to spend

 

I might think bout getting one along with a small combo so I don't have to bring my mesa cab, yamaha power amp and rack system for small jams and things like that :lol: Just the 2.0 if it is any better I dont see why not spending the extra like 60 bucks or w/e it is

 

right now i own 3 pods. looking to sell one to get the pocket pod for practicing before shows. easier than setting up a seperate pod and such at a venue to warm up. for the price, it's hard to beat.

I'd like to get a pocket pod for my worship band. We practice every sunday, then play on wednesdays. I hate having to lug around my gt-8 and guitar. my gt-8 is HUGE! But i want a some good sounds, and good options. This pocket pod would go in my guitar case, and give me all those options. I'll wait for the price to drop a bit first though.

 

a gt8 and a guitar.... what a burden LOL.. maybe you should just program some midi, use some samples, put it all on a thumb drive and just take that to practice

 

Craig's List yoyo...

Jimmy:smile:

 

lol, yeah, i check it often. but the pocketpod won't come on it for a while....

 

seems like an awesomely cool little portable gadget. this would make a nice Christmas present.

 

I've dropped hints to that effect already. Every review I've read has been more than positive and even at list pricing it scores tops on value for money. The cons listed were difficulty in operation when used with the belt/strap clip (difficult to see the readout and not all that easy to reach the controls) and a tendency to fall off an amp if just placed on top of it (because it's so light). That was it, scored nearly top marks in everything else.

 

Just picked one up this weekend from G.C.

I just sold my Mesa rectifier recording pre amp, and was looking for a cheap replacement. I had owned a pod pro for about 5 seconds many years ago, so I knew what to expect.

I have only briefly played with the unit so far, but here are my first reactions:
Sounds just like a Pod, or a POD Pro, so quality is there.
Due to its size some of the menu functions are a pain in th A$$ to navigate
Once again, due to its size, its hard to keep it from moving around. I am thinking of velcroing it to something in my studio to rectify the situation.
It does not have an on/off switch, which I think is lame.
Once again, due to its size, no midi, or footswitch capabilities, but it does have the USB feature.

Bottom line: its portable, sounds like its cousins, and cheap. (great for what I need it for, getting ideas down, and then redo them with an amp later)
Kinda flimsy, due to its size. However, I would recommend it for some one in my situation. Does it sound anywhere as good as the unit I just sold? Heck no!, but at a 10th of the price, with power supply, I can not complain.

Have a great day, Tobe

 

It does just as advertised.

It sounds very good over headphones (I use it for practice mostly and put it on my strap with headphones...).

You should buy a power supply, with batteries it runs approx. 2 hours tops.

It is also quite nice to do basic recording, I play it via its line out into my macbook for demo-recording and it is quite ok for that.

Does it sound as good as a real tube amp? Hell no, but it gets the job done it was designed for, I would never play it live or do a real CD recording with it (unless some effects heavy overdub tracks).
