The classic that started it all.
The industry standard for direct recording in the studio, POD ® 2.0 delivers the tones heard on hit records everywhere. For practice, it's the ultimate way to get inspiring, stage-perfected tones with headphones. In the studio, you can become more productive and creative. You can instantly get the sounds you need! Classic clean to modern high-gain tones all perfectly dialed in. POD 2.0 guitar effects processor allows you to quickly choose amps and effects without the long set up times and expensive equipment.
Are you frustrated trying to record great guitar amp sounds? POD ® 2.0 is the answer. You get a wide variety of classic and modern guitar sounds with convenient, easy-to-use effects built right in. Line 6's revolutionary A.I.R.™ modeling accurately captures the tone and feel of speaker cabinets, microphones, and studio room characteristics for an amazing recorded sound direct to any recording setup or PA. Sounds like having a great amp mic'd by a great engineer in a great studio!
Effects
POD ® 2.0 comes with a built in set of effects that are tweaked to perfection. This "best of" collection of effects makes searching for the perfect sounds ultra easy. Multiple versions of the effects give you rack or stompbox versions, and the combination effects give you classic setups like Delay and Chorus simultaneously.
There's even a full time Reverb, Tap Tempo for getting your delay's in time with the band, and an Effect Tweak knob for custom tailoring your effects. Plus, you'll never be out of tune because you'll get a Chromatic Tuner with a silent mute function for tuning between songs.
Ins and outs
POD ® is equipped to handle today's guitar recording needs with +4dBu balanced or -10dBV unbalanced 1/4" connectors. MIDI lets you automate every move and Line 6's optional FBV™: generation foot controllers let you do it all with your feet. POD 2.0 also comes with a high-power headphone output for silent jamming.
Left & Right Output - These are balanced 1/4" TRS connectors, and ready to rock with pro +4 dBu balanced equipment. They will also work happily with unbalanced -10 dBV equipment and standard guitar cables.
A.I.R.™: Mode — If you want to plug POD into a guitar amp as front end, flip the A.I.R. Mode switch to AMP, and set your amp for a clean tone. This defeats the speaker-microphone-room tone simulation of the A.I.R. processing. If you're using POD in almost any other setup (plugging direct into a mixer, recorder, PA, power amplifier, etc.) you want the DIRECT position on the A.I.R. switch.
Foot Pedal Connector - POD ® 2.0 is now compatible with the entire line of current foot controllers including FBV Express™: and FBV Shortboard™: !
MIDI In & Out - Connect POD to your MIDI equipment to select channel memories or automate POD settings.

this can be the best bucks you'll ever spend, had to pick between a KFK EMG pickup set or this and I'm glad I went with this, I recommend this to beginners and pros alike and these are some reasons why.you DONT need an amp you can use computer speakers so for practing at night this can come in handy, a special built in tuner to experiment with tunings, create and save your guitar tones than get them in the click of a button to save you time.record using your USB drive, turn the cheapest guitars or amps into something amazing, beginners are sure to get the sound their after and if you know what your doing this can go from shredding to metal, don't listen to the "nay sayers" just use a lower tuning, heavier strings and if still no luck you need more lessons.

There is a lot to admire about the POD 2.0. It's made from a solid and sturdy metal case, unlike the cheap plastic of most of its direct competitors. The knobs and switches have a nice, solid feel compared to the POD's peers. It comes with a nicely printed manual, and a good power supply.Sadly, there's more to dislike than like. My biggest complaint is the sound qualities the unit produces. Not so much the quality of the sound, although that too, but more the characteristics of the sound. The POD 2.0 sounds bad. Its really hard to place exactly what's wrong. It doesn't sound over-processed or have an excessive quantity of digital artifacts in the sound, there's just something, almost indefinably wrong with what it sonically produces. Amps and cabinets are not convincing. I've owned several of the amps the POD "models" (read 'tries to copy'), and it doesn't sound like the amps I've had. The POD doesn't have the same broad sound characteristics, let alone any of the nuance, of amps it purportedly emulates so well. The sound of the included effects is hit and miss. Chorus sounds okay. Flanger sounds bad. Distortion sounds terrible.Another huge disappointment is the interface: "unintuitive." Oh, sure, you could plug it in, dial an amp, and be producing some sort of sound within seconds of turning it on, but try accessing its limited feature set, and the simplest of tasks, that devices from DigiTech, Zoom, Roland, and others handle readily, cannot be accomplished on the POD without reading the manual. Two (of many) examples: on the POD, the control that chooses emulated cabinets serves multiple functions, and picking a cabinet isn't its primary duty, picking effect(s) is. So how to pick a cabinet? You have to simultaneously hold the button labeled "Tap (Hold)" (whatever that means) and then turn the knob that selects effects. THAT was intuitive! I can think of many better ways to design the POD interface. Take the DigiTech Genesis for example: you have a knob labled "Cabinet" that when you turn it, selects the cabinet it's pointing to. Not only is the POD unintuitive and clumsy, the labeling provides none of the clarity of cabinet that most units do. Choosing "Flanger1," "Chorus2," "Chorus1," or "Tremolo" all (when Tap/Hold is held down) choose a cabinet emulating a "1x12." Is that four different 1x12s, or the same one? If different, what cabinet is a "Chrorus2" supposed to be? If I were an engineer, I'd be ashamed to show my boss an interface design like this. It's a usability nightmare: vague & arcane. Clearly "clarity" was not a design goal.Another examle is adjusting effects, like compression for example: how does one change the compression level? You turn "Effect Tweak." That one could possibly be guessed without reading the manual. Possibly. But turning the knob which way does what to what? Again, you have to crack the manual to figure out a simple function that is labeled and readily accessible on other devices. On the POD, you have to memorize which compression levels correspond to the numbers on a clock face. Unintuitive, and un-labeled. That's only one of the effects: you have to memorize what unlabeled controls do for all the effects. There are other examples of the interface's lack of usability besides these two. A POD fan would argue that it's because the POD is so "feature rich" that they just couldn't fit the right controls into the unit, or maybe couldn't afford the paint to label things appropriately, or whatever. Whichever excuse is made for the device, the issue remains.Lastly, there's the price. For all its bad sound and frustrating interface, the unit is more expensive than similar models from DigiTech, Roland, Zoom, and others. My guess is that Line 6 put all the POD's money into that nice metal case, and the others put theirs into what's inside the case.

Comments about Line 6 POD 2.0 Guitar Multi Effects Processor:
If you understand Line 6 products, you make make this thing a killer device. Those familiar with Line 6 will get ramped up quickly. If you are new to Line 6, you will love it, but there is a small learning curve. I love the ability to customize sounds quickly. Easy to backup sounds to computer with midi cable. You get a consistent sound whereever you go. Run it direct into the house system and listen back off your monitor. Strongly recommend you get one of the pedals if you plan to use it live.
Loaded with sounds. Easy to customize.
The least expensive way to get the sounds you want.
Comments about Line 6 POD 2.0 Guitar Multi Effects Processor:
I've played for close to 20 years now and have owned countless guitars and amps over that time. Don't get me wrong, to me, nothing beats plugging one of my guitars into an Ibanez TS-9 and then into a Fender tube amp. It just can't be beat. However, I only have so much money and space for amps. I picked this up used and couldn't be happier. It comes pretty close to all the great amps out there. It's not perfect but if you're like me and like variety but don't have the cash for it, this is one of the best buys you can make.
Comments about Line 6 POD 2.0 Guitar Multi Effects Processor:
mine worked with various guitars through a vox ac15 and a super 6 reverb and of course headphones.after a year and a half mine lost all it's tone.it's now a big red door stop.i won't even look at a line 6 product and never will.
Comments about Line 6 POD 2.0 Guitar Multi Effects Processor:
This thing is utterly useless for recording or even practicing for that matter. All the distortion sounds are very harsh and not usable in recording situations, however the cleans are quite good but not worth the investment. Buy a combo practice amp.
Comments about Line 6 POD 2.0 Guitar Multi Effects Processor:
I played one of these at the PRS 2010 event and this had some of the best sounds i have ever heard. I want one of these and one day I will get one. I recommend this to any type of music, Line 6 is the best.

Comments about Line 6 POD 2.0 Guitar Multi Effects Processor:
First off, if you're looking to upgrade your gain channel, look elsewhere. Most of the overdrive sounds on this are shrill and hard to place in a mix. However, the A.I.R effect is amazing. Most of the time I have all my amp sims set with low DRIVE and run my OD/DIS pedals through it. I find that the clean sounds on this work well, the cab sims are beautiful, and the effects are nice sometimes. Also, the reverb can muddle chords even at low settings; though not with every amp sim. Overall, I would not us this for any OD/DIS sounds while recording. They might be ok live, but I wouldn't even care to try. Clean sounds are nice and provide a base for stomp box OD/DIS. I'm glad I have it, though I wish there were more usable sounds.
Comments about Line 6 POD 2.0 Guitar Multi Effects Processor:
I bought this used and must say that this is one of the NICEST effects boards/boxes I have owned. It does take some time to get adjusted with the controls but a comprehensive look over the manual (available online) will suit any player well. Ignore the presets (which will give you a wretched hissing sound) and click on the 'manual' button. From there, you'll get a clean tone that you can adjust accordingly to your liking. My favorite thing about this box is that I can get truly any tone I'm after. From a Sabbathy bluesy-distortion to a screaming metal distortion reminiscent of a Mesa Boogie, the pod has it all. Best of all, I can record directly onto my computer and adjust the EQ and mastering with recording software. To get the most out of this pedal - read the manual and learn about proper EQing in regards to your HIs, LOWS, MIDs, and GAIN. A study of what effects do what is also necessary to completely get your money's worth. A truly remarkable piece of equipment that I could not play without.
Comments about Line 6 POD 2.0 Guitar Multi Effects Processor:
I do agree that the controls are very irritating to work with, no matter how many times you read the manual. That said, I connect to my computer via the MIDI ports, and I LOVE it. I avoided these things for ages, but didn't want to be dragging the Marshall stack back and forth from church. I bought mine used with the small footswitch (FB-4) for $100. Excellent value. If you build your presets well, it sounds fantastic - it's just very difficult to do without using the computer GUI. I build/adjust/rearrange my presets before each performance and always get complements on my sound and tone. FYI, the floor POD, which is a little cheaper does NOT connect to the computer, so I would recommend the 2.0 over that one.
Comments about Line 6 POD 2.0 Guitar Multi Effects Processor:
The Line 6 - POD 2.0 sucks. This is one of the worst things that I ever bought over a hundred dollars. Although the clean settings can be quite good, the distortion tones on this P.O.D are horrible. For over two year I?ve tried to get something good out of this and all I?ve been able to get is good clean sounds. The clean is amazing I will admit but the distortion and everything else on this is horribly and horrifically weak and atrocious. It always has a hissing sound and every distortion reeks with bad tone and feedback. I use Marshall Amps and equalizers but nothing can fix this P.O.D?s Problem. You can?t even run anything through it without a very loud hissing sound. If you?re going to get a pod I would highly recommend the POD X3. The Pod X3 Works Great and is less confusing but still I wouldn?t recommend using it for distortion. Distortion wise I would buy the Line 6 Uber Metal Distortion since it goes great with the X3.
