Line 6 POD Express Guitar Pedal
The Line 6 POD Express Guitar Pedal is an ultra-portable guitar amp and effects processor — in fact, it’s the company’s most portable POD yet. The POD Express boasts seven amp models, seven cab simulations, and 17 effects based on cutting-edge HX-derived technology, along with a tuner, a noise gate, and even a looper. This unit’s simple control set and powerful POD Express Edit app make dialing in tones a straightforward affair; plus, since it can be powered by either batteries or an optional power supply, you can take it virtually anywhere. The POD Express flaunts tap tempo, stereo main outputs, and a stereo headphone output, and you get a built-in USB-C audio interface for effortless recording, monitoring, and re-amping. Finally, you can connect an optional expression pedal for real-time volume control or up to two external footswitches for preset selection and turning effects on and off. Over the years, the various iterations of Line 6’s POD have broken new ground in terms of functionality, portability, and sound quality. Offering more of the same in an even more compact form factor is the POD Express Guitar, which makes for a stellar musical companion.
A bounty of HX-quality sounds
Lurking inside the POD Express Guitar’s unassuming and decidedly un-kidney bean-like housing, you’ll find a cornucopia of sounds, all derived from Line 6’s award-winning HX family of processors. It all starts with seven amplifier and cabinet models: Chime, Dynamic, Crunch, Heavy, Lead, Clean, and Special. Light a fire under your tone with Boost, Overdrive, Distort, and Fuzz distortion effects. Add gloss to every note you play with Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, and Tremolo modulation effects. Infuse your playing spellbinding Analog, Digital, Tape, or Pong delay effects. Give your sound dimension with Spring, Hall, Plate, and Space reverb effects. The POD Express also includes tap tempo, a noise gate, and a full-featured looper.
Player-friendly features to spare
Guitarists love how the Line 6 POD Express Guitar culls so many features. For starters, you can power it with either three AA batteries or an optional 9-volt power supply, allowing you to take it anywhere with or without your pedalboard. Stereo main outputs and a stereo headphone output enable you to perform, record, or practice with pristine stereo sound. The POD Express’s built-in USB-C audio interface makes recording, monitoring, and re-amping child’s play. You also get the ability to connect an optional expression pedal for real-time volume control or up to two external footswitches for preset selection and turning effects on and off.
Killer tone doesn’t get any easier than this
Operating the POD Express Guitar is as easy as can be. Its 5-knob interface includes Distortion, Mod, Amp, Delay, and Reverb knobs that double as Gain, Mid, Channel Volume, Bass, and Treble knobs when you press the Alt button. You also get On and Tap footswitches. Finally, deploying the unit’s built-in tuner and saving patches are just as intuitive. The POD Express is truly the most straightforward POD Line 6 has ever designed — just plug in and play!
Comprehensive POD Express Edit app
Musicians who prefer to twist and tweak every element of their tone will find much to love in the Line 6 POD Express Edit app, accessible via your mobile device or desktop. This all-encompassing editor opens up nearly endless control over every parameter, including deep amplifier editing, high/low cuts for cabinet simulations, global function adjustment, complete control over every effect, and much more. And when it comes time to lay down tracks in the studio, POD Express Edit transforms your pedal into the ultimate desktop recording device, unlocking features such as re-amping via USB-C.
