The Line 6 POD Express Guitar is an ultra-portable guitar amp and effects processor — in fact, it’s the company’s most portable POD yet. The POD Express boasts seven amp models, seven cab simulations, and 17 effects based on cutting-edge HX-derived technology, along with a tuner, a noise gate, and even a looper. This unit’s simple control set makes dialing in tones a straightforward affair; plus, since it can be powered by either batteries or an optional power supply, you can take it virtually anywhere. The POD Express flaunts tap tempo, stereo main outputs, and a stereo headphone output, and you get a built-in USB-C audio interface for effortless recording, monitoring, and re-amping. Finally, you can connect an optional expression pedal for real-time volume control or up to two external footswitches for preset selection and turning effects on and off. Over the years, the various iterations of Line 6’s POD have broken new ground in terms of functionality, portability, and sound quality. Offering more of the same in an even more compact form factor is the POD Express Guitar, which makes for a stellar musical companion.
