The Line 6 POD Express Guitar effects processor enables you to craft your signature sound and take it wherever you play. With models derived from the award-winning Line 6 HX family, the POD Express Guitar provides high-definition amps, cabs and effects in an ultraportable stompbox format. The simple interface makes it easy to dial in and save your tones, while the optional expression pedal (sold separately) and footswitches give you hands-free control of parameters for a customized playing experience.

Line 6 POD Express Guitar

High-Fidelity Modeling

With seven amps, seven cabs and 17 effects—including distortion, modulation, reverb and delay—the POD Express Guitar delivers authentic tone and feel. The HX-quality models provide exceptional sound quality, allowing you to achieve lush reverbs, crisp delays and saturated overdrives. The looper also lets you layer multiple parts to create full arrangements and practice tools.

Line 6 POD Express Guitar Headphone Connection

Take Your Tone Anywhere

The POD Express Guitar's compact design lets you take your tone wherever you go. Powered by three AA batteries or an optional power supply (sold separately), this conveniently sized stompbox is ideal for gigging, recording, practicing and jamming with friends. The durable polycarbunate chassis protects the internals so you can toss it in your bag without worry. With stereo outputs and a headphone jack, you can plug in wherever inspiration strikes.

Line 6 POD Express Guitar Controls

Simple and Intuitive Controls

Despite its sophisticated modeling engine, the POD Express Guitar is easy to operate. The uncluttered interface features a single knob to select amps and effects, as well as dedicated knobs for gain, volume, treble and bass. You can quickly build presets with your favorite tones and toggle between them with a single footswitch. The large display provides at-a-glance viewing of amp, cab and effect settings in an organized layout.

Line 6 POD Express Guitar Connections

Connect and Control

The POD Express Guitar effects processor offers several connectivity options for integration into your setup. In addition to the main outputs, the USB-C port provides an audio interface for recording, re-amping and monitoring with your digital audio workstation. You can also connect an optional expression pedal to control volume or effect parameters in real time. Up to two footswitches allow you to select presets or turn effects on and off for a streamlined playing experience without bending down.

Whether you're a beginner looking for an all-in-one solution or an advanced guitarist needing a portable rig, the POD Express Guitar delivers the high-quality tone and versatile connectivity you need to shape your signature sound anywhere you play. Order the Line 6 POD Express Guitar today.

Works better than expected.

I'm a gigging musician, and I have a family at home that needs sleep at night. I can play this through headphones, I can plug it into my small mixer and play at low volume, or I can plug it into my bands pa and play live with it. It works pretty good for all three actually. I figured it would be great for practice, and I was right. Simple and intuitive. They released an editor program for it so you can get to every single parameter you need. Don't get me wrong, I love my physical real amps, especially the tubers, but this thing shocked me when I tried to use it live. I built myself a few patches and laid out the pedal as I wanted and I'll be darned it sounded way better and authentic than I had expected. First gig I tried to use it on, I liked it so much I just used it the whole 4 hours. And been using it at gigs ever since. Very well worth the amount of money even just for practicing. I think if I had to be absolutely picky, the only only downside if at all for me would be I do wish it had an xlr out (not necessary) and possibly an effects loop. But that's just being picky lol. All in all fantastic product at a fantastic price. Built in effects sound fine to me. I used it at a jam last and my friends were eyeballing it and talking about how it impressed them, and they're thinking about nabbing one. Thanks line 6 and gc for the affordable modelling option.

Pretty good...

I liked everything about it .. however, it didn't translate very well with my recording setup. Sounded a little too up front and fizzy in the highs. My current setup is much more realistic and "in the mix".

    This pedal is pretty incredible for its size and price. The sound quality of the amps, cabs, and effects are great. It's fairly easy to use, though does require some awkward two handed manipulation of controls at times. I haven't used the presets much and didn't find them to be too useful to me. But getting a wide variety of sounds quickly and easily is not hard to do. I would definitely recommend it.

    Does the USB interface allow you to play back music from your mobile device so you can play along/learn? Looking at this for my son.
