Line 6Pocket POD

Le Pocketpod est loin de faire une grosse impression, et pourtant!J'ai acheté le premier, usagé, il y a presque dix ans. Quand il a flanché, j'ai été assez bête pour le faire réparer. Moins d'un an plus tard, le revoilà en panne; sans hésiter, je m'en offre un nouveau – parfait jumeau du premier. Je découvre, par la même occasion, le manuel d'utilisation et des capacités insoupçonnées.Une fois maîtrisés, les boutons (qui remplissent toujours au moins deux fonctions – souvent plus –, mais sont plus faciles à utiliser qu'ils le semblent) suffisent largement à exploiter le petit monstre (car oui, c'est un laideron); mais, pour ceux qui préfèrent, Line 6 a conçu le logiciel adapté dont l'interface ne pourrait être plus clair – mais qui fait vieillot, indéniablement.Pour les professionnels, c'est le gadget 'au cas où les autres planteraient' par excellence; pour les amateurs, c'est beaucoup de plaisir et de possibilités que les concurrents, à prix équivalent, n'ont toujours pas surpassés.Il sonne très bien, ce multi effet. On peut aimer ou pas le son Line 6, mais plus on explore l'appareil, plus on en apprécie la polyvalence.

Ich liebe dieses kleine Ding! Es beherbergt eine große Vielfältigkeit an Sounds und hat jede Menge Speicher-Slots, um eigene Presets abzuspeichern. Die Soundqualität würde ich im Clean- und Crunch-Bereich als gut, im Metal-Bereich vielleicht als Note 3 beurteilen, für meine Ansprüche reicht es auf jeden Fall! (Ich nehme auch manchmal mit dem POD Song-Ideen am PC auf - mit Hilfe eines Behringer DIs - auch dafür ist er gut geeignet).Die Bedienung wird oft als umständlich beschrieben, aber wenn man sich mal die Mühe macht, die Anleitung zu lesen, geht es eigentlich gut von der Hand. Ich finde es gerade gut, dass ich mal ein Gerät habe, das KEINE Anbindung an eine Handy-App hat, sondern mich beim Musizieren davon entkoppelt. (Ich starre den Rest des Tages genug auf Bildschirme).Also, wie gesagt, ich mag das kleine Teil und würde es mir jederzeit wieder kaufen.

I was a bit sceptical when I first saw the Line 6 Pocket Pod and wasn't too sure what to expect. I needn't have worried though because this does exactly what it should do.There are a whole heap of tones within this unit so even a true novice like me can find something to suit there style. You get the option of using batteries or a 9v adapter (not supplied!) and it even has a belt/guitar strap clip, so very portable.It is very easy to use when you're playing and comes with a range of effects you can dial into your chosen sound e.g. Drive, Effects amount, Delay, Reverb.At the touch of a button you can also change Bass, Mid and Treble. There is also a Channel volume control, Tap tempo and a built-in Tuner.Put through the clean channel of an amplifier it sounds pretty good too.I will be mainly using mine as a guitar effects unit within my home studio so it will be interesting to hear the results but so far I have to say I'm impressed.

I own more than 15 tube amps, and was once a tube snob. But after years playing live and in recording studios, I now use the Line6 Helix as my primary rig. Modern digital kicks A**.The Pocket Pod does not sound as good as the helix, but it fits in my guitar bag and runs off batteries. I bring my guitar and a book sized iLoud speaker, and my friend (with a battery powered keyboard rig) and I can gig at the beach and attract an audience. Fun, but also sometimes that strategy filled a hall for our real band. I doubt I would record an album with the pocket pod, (although I could), but I own two of them and until Line6 ports the helix tones to a battery powered portable device, I will buy another one every time sand or rain or salt or random abuse kills them.Trust me and spend a while going through the patches, picking your favorite six and copying them into the first few patches. Do that and I would expect you to be pretty happy with this tool. I like my Helix better, but I would not be ashamed to play to a large live audience with my favorite six patches from this device.FYI, the best tiny little battery powered speaker that is flat enough to make my guitar sound OK is https://smile.amazon.com/IK-Multimedia-Portable-Personal-Speaker/dp/B00BIPL8Z2/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=iloud&qid=1598983197&sr=8-2 It is not super loud, (probably maxes out before rocking 25 people.... maybe good for gentle ambience to as many as 50) ....but within it's limits, it sounds nice.If I need more power, I use https://smile.amazon.com/4-Channel-50-Watt-Battery-Powered-Amplifier/dp/B00JMU1RAG/ref=psdc_11968291_t1_B000W22JG4 ...which is actually pretty amazing, but I like the sound of the pocket pod direct, better than it's built in amp stuff... (but maybe that is because I like to change between a bunch of different sounds.)
