LINE6 POD / POD Pro
TECHNICAL DETAILS
|
 |
The
original guitar POD, upgraded to the 2.0 software version is able
to simulate 32 guitar amplifier models and provides additional guitar
effects.
Also, version 2 improved some POD functions.
All POD units produced after spring 2000 are directly equipped with
version 2.0 and no update is required in this case.
|
 |
The
POD Pro is the POD rack mounted version. Basically, it features
the same POD operation. Compared with the compact POD, it provides
additional connectors. For instance, send/return for external processors,
digital ports (with external wordclock sync) and a more flexible
outputs management (extremely useful for recording and live setups)
are included. Both direct and amplifier connectors are also available.
