    The great thing about this is it’s so simple and gives you a boat ton of effects, I have a massive pedal board hooked up to my Friedman amp, but I also have an orange amp and orange cab with nopedal board, this is going to be perfect for at home playing without setting up or rerouting my pedal board back-and-forth between amps..

    Thanks for the review, Aaron!!  I like the fact that you answer the queries most of the time, it must take up a lot of your time which you so graciously donate to your excellent Channel. Great work as always on this Impressive and great review and tutorial.

    Aaron, thanks for the excellent demo and review. It convinced me to buy one to the very next day. I have barely begun to scratch the surface of its capabilities, but I felt pretty spiffy already knowing how to access the “secret menu” options, thanks to you.

    Impressive and Great tutorial overview Aaron. This Line6Pod sounds GREAT.
  • @balmain2496
    It’s incredible. I’m ordering one ASAP. Truly a wonderful time to be a guitar player

    Excellent review, very well done. What a great piece of gear. You nailed it, it is sometimes freeing to not dive through endless menus and options (and I say that as a big fan of my Pod Go!)
  • @AndyMacMusic
    Thanks for the review, Aaron!! Great work as always!
  • @brucelittle3958
    Love Line 6! Great demo Aaron! Planning on getting one soon!
  • @williamhahs8251
    It has exactly what I like, simplicity and reducing the size of pedals I put on my board. I just ordered one for working in my studio it'll work out great
  • @gerarddabda6223
    Just what I needed to decide to buy it,,,, whenever it's available. Thank you!

    Just got mine in yesterday. As an old fart using amps since forever, I found it easy to use and rather convenient. Thanks for the vid.

    Been jamming with this thing all day. It sounds awesome, to my ears. I’m using it on my desk to record direct and to just jam through my monitor speakers or headphones. I have the Boss IR-2, which I also like. The IR-2 has a stereo effects loop, which I need when I want to incorporate certain sounds (like the stereo octave effect on the Boss PS-5). The effects on the Pod Express sound great and are simple to dial in, but I can’t incorporate many of the pedals that I own into the signal chain in a way that works for me. I’ll take the trade-off though. This thing is so easy to just plug and play. I’ll keep the IR-2 as well, which has its own unique features and a superior build quality.

    Excellent run down as usual Aaron. I will be getting one of these for sure. I might like this better as a backup rig than the pod go ha
  • @frankmeyst1923
    It’s the less is more deal. Great job walking through it. 🙏. Waiting for mine.
  • @GTruck0
    Pre-ordered. Prefect little backup rig
  • @pauldritsas6047
    What a rip snorter!! Its the line 6 pocket rocket. Luv it!! Well done Line 6 and well done Aaron.
  • Great tutorial ... I just got mine yesterday. I think the Crunch with Boost is my favorite "hi-gain" tone for rock and metal. The Heavy and Lead amps are just a bit too gainy, but you can lower the Gain with the ALT control. I also really like the Fuzz into the Clean amp for "doomy" tones.
  • Nice review , it might be a solution for many players fed up with way too many options that you get lost , only thing I would like is chance to place fx where I want them , I prefer chorus before overdrive , but at this price I would be happy to use an external one in front of unit , much like your need for boost pedal. This unit coupled with the last one shot fx pedal they released might be an all round pedal rig, this will sell shed loads 👏👏👏
  • Great Review and tutorial. I like the part how you would use it. I'm going to buy one and use it in my room with headphone a double A batteries, portable amps-cab with effects.
  • @DanielleMuscato
    Using the boost... Wow, i love how it pushes the amp harder without changing the color of the tone. Nice.
