In reply to Bthelick. You're right, the POD did not sound bad. Here's a fact the tone snobs will never acknowledge: the POD was used on hit records from day one, even with the POD v.1.0 in the late 90's. Those tones were good enough that the golden-eared gods never noticed.

I just bought a Pod 2.0 for $40 including the power supply. I got a brand new 4 button footswitch for another $40. This thing has limitations for sure but I can adjust it right in front of me while I play and some of the amp models work well for my style. But bear in mind that I have been playing electric guitar since 1964. I may have some experience with a crap load of gear.

In reply to Bthelick. The XT didn't sound bad at all either and can still sound good if you know how to make your own presets for it. Though the X3 is better because you have all amps from the XT and all model packs along with being able to use two amps at the same time. There are people that still use the X3 live for giggling.

the POD did NOT sound bad at all. Not for certain tones. people presumed it did because Line6 wasn’t famous back then and couldn’t charge the earth for stuff so it was cheap. But it punched well above its weight unless you could afford a real mesa boogie.
the follow up, the PodXT, not that one did sound bad. the OG pod was always a lil special I think. Like the fluked it.

In reply to Michael Jackson. You HATE it? Hmm. Not sure it's worth any hatred, just move along. Or do like PEDROC suggested and create a burner address for free software. It's really not worth getting worked up over. Lol

In reply to Michael Jackson. I made a new burner email address specifically to download this plugin and a bunch of others from another vendor who required an account. I definitely get the exhaustion you're talking about, but making a new burner email ended up giving me a new sense of freedom somehow, lol.

I have Line 6 UX1 with PodFarm. love it. I can use it as an effects VST as long as the UX1 is plugged into the computer (which is all the time).

I hate free software where you have to create an account to get it. I’m burned out on this. I’ll pass.

Wow, the demo is insane!! And thanks to this, I discover the excellent drive pedal “Shoeless Drive” by Wavemind!

“It was kind of ugly, it sounded bad, and it was cheap” is a spot-on description of the Line6 POD.

Fun writeup for a fun-looking FX – thanks for sharing!

I learned the other day that the French version of April Fools is “April Fish,” complete with fish-related shenanigans. Maybe a developer could make a fish-themed plugin for the occasion next year – maybe something “bass” related ;)
