Not a Single regret!Jul 09, 2008
I've had this little kindey-shaped pod for a while now, and all i can say is that, the Modeling and AIR systems really do their job. I've spent lots of hours in studios playing with some great valve amp heads and man, this pod is for sure if not the best, one of the best amp simulators around for just about us $300.
IMAO, it lacks a LITTLE bit of Depth [as the majority of digital simulators/pedals]..but just a little, this can be solved later on your Pc.
Believe me, this little fella is compact, robust and easy to use!
I'd chose the PODxt over my little 45W Marshall/Mic setup since i can't get the right tone out of it. Forget about moving the amp and that bunch of cables, placing the mic, worrying about your room acoustics etc...if you need a neat thing, this is it.
Of course, i recommend this POD to those who make their own music, Demos, or whatever, its just great. But i wouldn't risk on taking it to a professional studio and record your band's new Album with it. I'd rely on the big Amp and mic setup.
The USB connection is really fast (not on a Hub, place it in a single dedicated connector), the sound is truly dynamic when recorded on your Pc, works as a DI box and the headphone output delivers great tone. Maybe i'll use the Audio L/R outputs later, usb is just fine.
I use it every day, and haven't had a single regret.
The only reason to give it those 4 stars, is just because you'll need the FBV swithfoot board to gig live. So, yeah..

4.5 starsNov 04, 2006
I was skeptical since I have owned a few digital processors of yore and have always fell right back to my good ol' valve amp and a couple choice pedals . However, I was planning on using this device for desktop recording purposes. The unit delivers in this respect. working well with Riffworks and Fruity Loops this bad boy gets the job done. Sound is incredible and the soundscape is almost limitless. The add-on programs I needed are indeed a must but kind of costly. For live purposes the unit also delivers very well, but is very hard to use smoothly without the very costly foot-pedal board of which I will purchase, even tho it cost about 300 clams, the unit requires it for my live purposes, but it will be worth it.....almost. The programming ability make this unit most valuable, I can program my personal set ups and get to them with a quick turn of the dial....soon a quick touch with the foot. Quality is also at work here folks. The unit is built solid, there's some plastic, but it's still roadworthy, just handle with care. I don't wish to imply this thing is too fragile, it's built tough, but it is fragile electronics and the jacks could be damaged without normal, basic care. You can't treat this thing with ignorance, basic common sense preventative care will make it last. Although if you use it to put bread on the table you'll always need a backup plan. At 300-bucks it's not for the meek or mildly interested, but for my purposes at the moment this thing stays in the studio where really shines. IMO nothing, at this price point, comes close to delivering the quality sounds as promised by sooo many didgital processors these days.

 If You Use Mac OSX 10.4 Tiger, Do Not Buy A PODxtOct 14, 2005
No matter what any other reviewer tells you, if you use Mac OSX Tiger 10.4, you will not be able to utilize the Line 6 Edit software that comes with the PODxt. As of 10/14/05, Line 6 has not updated Line 6 Edit software for use with Mac OSX 10.4. Why is this such a big deal? Because Line 6 Edit software enables you to edit a PODxt's settings from your computer easily. Without Line 6 Edit software, the PODxt is practically impossible to edit. Without the ability to to edit the PODxt easily, the unit is only worth half as much. Line 6 is not very Mac friendly, so don't expect the software to be updated anytime soon. If you're serious about purchasing a PODxt, check the Line 6 website to make sure the unit AND software are compatible with the operating system you are using.
This information is taken directly from Line 6's website:
"Is Line 6 Edit for Mac or a Windows PC?
...We have not yet evaluated Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and can not yet provide information on compatibility."
In other words, IT DOESN'T WORK WITH MAC OSX TIGER 10.4!

 Everything and MoreOct 05, 2005
I literally got 'the shakes' when I played my first riff with the PODxt. The sound is so incredible, you really won't believe what you're hearing. If you've listened to a good Bose© system, and how you were blown away by the sound; it's the same feeling.
I'd consider myself a 'Tech Guru' along with 'Musician', and honestly I was a bit overwhelmed when I began setting up and using the PODxt, but I got the hang of it pretty quick. If you've ever used a big Amp with a bunch of effects and buttons, it's sort of like that.
Of of the best features I found on the PODxt is the 'Line 6 Edit' software ([...]), and Mac (all OS X including Tiger) compatible. I can edit tones quickly and easily, it's all so seamless, you'll be amazed.
The other amazing feature is the website that links with Line 6 Edit; I can go to the site, and type the name of a song I'm going to play, and instantly a new tone (designed perfectly for that song) is in the editor, ready to be transferred to my PODxt.
This is without a doubt the best 'Bang For Your Buck' deal around - if you're into Guitar and making great music, the PODxt if for you.

The Line 6 PodxtSep 07, 2005
This Line 6 Podxt is awesome and I have just started playing with it. I am sure there is so much things this Podxt can do I have just not discovered yet. It can give a direct studio recording or use it live or hook it straight to your desktop through a USB port. I can make it sound like my old Univox amp or I can make modern synth effects great for playing Industrial or make your own sounds. I even hooked my mic and made some great vocal effects as well.
