About the work of Line6 in the field of digital modelings have to I do not say much more . For thomann the pods were dozens of original amps analyzed and digitally recreated - the same modelings are also found in the Pocket Pod , at a much cheaper price than the larger models .
Operating the Pocket Pod is intuitive and easy , after a few minutes you get the hang of it. With the help of thomann knob one uses to each amp model the gain , the amount of effect , the delay proportion and the volume of the amp . By pressing a button the controller to operate a second level - bass , middle, treble and reverb. An important effects everything is there - chorus, flanger, tremolo, compressor, etc. A global noise gate thomann is also on board , very practical in single coils, because the noise but may annoy some .
The presets are very nice to start with , but at some point you would like to create his own sound. All memory locations are overwritten - it is best to done that with the free downloadable Vyzex editor. This one has thomann access to settings of the individual amps that you so on the Pocket Pod can not do ( assign a different cabinet models , microphones , Drive - switches, etc.) . So you can really work very well . On the Line6 website you can also download thousands more presets created by other users and thomann using the editor playing on his pod. Since some beads are in!
The clean and angecrunchten sounds like to me personally better than the high-gain stuff, but this is perhaps a matter of taste . In any case, you should use a good set of headphones !
The Pocket Pod is definitely a great part , to practice / play around as well as to thomann home recording . The modelings sound authentic and just sound good!
