Line 6 PocketPOD Amp Modeller

[cofi]

I see a few folks using these pod's, for recording, and on stage, they do get good reviews, I've got to admit I've never tried one, (I think I'm too old fashion, i like my amp) but some swear by them,
But I am thinking about getting one, the prices have come down a some, and it might be some fun to play about with one.

anyone had any experience, or ever tried one of these, It would be good to hear your input and what you think about them,

Nope never tried one, Like you I'd rather use an amp.

wouldnt mind borrowing one to play around with, just to see what the deal is,

I know a whole bunch of songs but could I use all those effects. I am curious about this box from VOX. I guess if you get one you just as soon go for the gusto.

Something about the accellarator pedal thingy just grabs me and says drive it home.

Looks interesting,
There's so many on the market, it bloody hard to know which is good, or not. but it has some cool effects though, reading the bumf,
i like some of them, like-------

3 popular acoustic guitar types plus a resonator. Finally, the Tonelab LE wouldn't be complete without some additional guitar effects! A metal distortion sound will satisfy your need for extreme gain. A slap reverb rounds out the ambient effects and a multi-tap chorus gives you independent chorus taps for each of the left, center and right outputs, producing stunning depth and spaciousness.

sounds interesting

Yeah it is nice but my Christmas List is already too big. Mmmmm, maybe for my son. He would go insane with it and I still get to use it. It's nice havin a teen boy who jams too.

Excellent idea brother, i know some folks that buy present for their kid's or grandchildren, so that they can play with them as well
But i would never do that of course
