proy900 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) Shifting these well used pieces of equipment. Gigged and battered but in full working order includes PSU, cable and manual for the POD. I had to remove the plastic overlay from the floorboard as it was all but peeled off, which made it look a lot cleaner but exposed some holes over the lcd display and led holes. I covered over any holes with mobile phone screen protector film and reinforced that with heavy dury clear tape (you can see in the pics) In no way affects the workability of the board.[attachment=114886:IMAG0428.jpg][attachment=114885:IMAG0430.jpg][attachment=114884:IMAG0426.jpg][attachment=114883:IMAG0431.jpg] £70 collected the pair, £80 posted or £40 for the Pod collected, £45 posted £40 for the floorboard collected, £45 postEd These are firm prices, but if you have a good noise gate pedal to trade i might be interested. Too lazy to write a review up myself, but this echoes my feelings towards this pod all the same [color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial][size=3][size=3]Ease of Use: [/size]The POD is a wonderfully engineered piece of technology. Even though the 2.0 features 36 presets, choosing them is very simply. All you have to do is simply dial in the number of the preset you want, by using up and down buttons. Saving your own settings is a breeze as well! You simply have to push the "save" button, tricky huh?[/size][/font][/color] [font=Verdana, Arial][size=3][color=#000000][size=3]Sound: [/size]The versatile and distinct sounds of this unit was why I bought it! With 16 amp models, 16 effects, TAP button, and several cab modelers, you can't find a better buy for this kind of money! I play through a [/color][url="http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/reviews/guitar_amplifiers/line_6/spider_112/"][color=#000000]Line 6 Spider 112[/color][/url][color=#000000], and when matched with the Line 6 POD, the sound quality just soars! Helpfully, in the user manuel, Line 6 supplies the reader with wonderful, detailed examples of how to set up your POD and amp to make them coincide just the way you want. The amp models are great, and I could not be happier with them, especially for this kind of money. The effects are good, but are do not have much of a range. The POD either produces weak effects or overly strong/loud effects, and its hard to find good settings for a midrange. I'm quite partial to the delay and swell settings. They have always been dependeable and give me a great sound. The chorus seems to artificial and doesnt quite cut it.[size=3] // 9[/size][/color][/size][/font] [color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial][size=3]Reliability & Durability: [/size][/font][/color][font=Verdana, Arial][color=#000000][size=3]The POD can sure take a beating! I have gigged with it several times, recorded with it, jammed with it, and carry it with me wherever I go if I'm going to play, and I have never had a single problem with it! It has a nice adapter that does not take up more than one slot on a power strip/outlet. This may seem like a worthless feature, but since my powerstrip is packed with other adapters for pedals, I really like how small the POD's is. I personally have no problem with using this on a gig without a backup. Never in my two years of owning this have I had trouble, and I have already performed succesful gigs without any problems with my POD.[/size][/color][/font][color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial][size=3] // 10[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial][size=3][size=3]Impression: [/size]In the simplest of terms, I love my POD. It has never given me trouble, and I can not imagine playing without it. To me, it has become a steadfast companion to the rest of my rig, and I would not hesistate to get a new one if it was ever stolen or broken. I have been playin roughly 5.5 years, and this is by far my favorite piece of equipment. As I continue to advance and change styles, I find that I can still rely on my POD and always tweak it to where it suits my style. The only problem I have with playing it is that I can't always use it effectively with acoustic guitar. The chorus does help to create a nice sound, as do the bypass and preamp settings, but I would not recommend this to a solely acoustic player.
