    Smile Pocket-POD by Line 6

    Have you already discovered this new product?

    Old friend in a new outfit, but this time you don't have to carry around the kidney bean - this time it fits in your jacket.

    I can imagine this thing is great for playing sessions, or take it with you when you are on holiday.

    Last year I have played some sessions on holiday, it would have been great if I had my own sounds available with the pocket POD.

    I had heard that this was coming out. Sounds great to take on trips with a travel sized electric guitar.

    Exactly, their software products are very excellent.

    Repackaged rubbish of old technology. I love Line 6 and my PodXT but when are they going to stop rehashing all the new products based on the old, outdated Pod 2.0 and do another upgrade for the XT or trump it with something NEW?

    I don't know line6 is expected to innovate all the time but it's OK for boss to stretch the hell out of it's COSM technology?
    Line 6 is a business, they invested in a technology and need to get the most (profits) out of it. all the rest is secondary...

    Some of us using VOX keep expecting them to make something trumps their current Valve Reactor stuff.

    Hey Spudman, I didnt know that you had a XT? I thought you were a die hard Vamp fan.
    I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

    I splurged. I just had to have one of each. It's the curse of being a Libra.

    How do you like it so far? I really dig mine, but there are some things that really worked better on the Tonelab. Especially the low wattage Fender amps.

    *oops* I accidently edited your post.. dont worry I didn´t remove anything worth reading

    The BOSS MicroBR is pretty cool also! It has about 80 patches that you can edit, built in drum loops, will play mp3's for you to play along with, can record, and edit your recordings also. The memory is just an SD card that you can replace with higher capacity ones. It's quite cool for only $100 more. Of course, it doesn't have a software interface to edit the patches, nor a 1/4" output line out.

    It has it's pluses and so does the Vamp Pro. There are more effects in the POD and that makes for some different patches. Some of the amps in the VAmp are really good too. I'm glad I have them both but I don't think I'll ever truly master either one.

    Yeah the V-amp (2) sounds really cool. I especially like the clean sounds, very crisp. I´ve only tried the rackmount version, but I guess that they are basically the same (only the D/A differs I think).
    Just let me know if you want some of my XT patches.
