Ease of Use:

I have to admit it was very hard to get use to at first, but after about an hour I was getting the hang of it, I have had it for about a month and after that i was sorted. The sound is the most versatile I have ever heard, from low melodies and bassy cleans to bad ass distortions and screaming cleans. Using the five hundred plus page manual helped a lot. You can use www.customtone.com to get pre-edited patches for virtually anything you want.

Some patches make the guitar hum and feedback can be a bad issue, I don't know how to but you can set how much feedback is produced and also hum. It is really loud! it increases the volume of my amp 80%!, some effects are weak and some are not, the ones that are weak are meant to be, you can edit them so they aren't weak and vice versa for the not so weak ones.

Reliability & Durability:

I would depend on this thing anywhere anytime I wont break it is like rock! I would definetly use it in a gig, depending if I had the optional floorboard such as the FBV and FBVSB because you can't switch patches without it. // 10

Conclusion:

I play everything, but mostly soft rock and slow acoustics, its an amazing match for anyone, this thing is so versatile! I have been playing for almost three years, I own a Martin dm acoustic, FBV Shortboard and that is about it, I really dont need anymore than that. There is absolutly nothing I should have asked before buying this. I would feel helpless without this thing although I love the distortion on my crate, I love everything about it. I often hear people telling me to get the Boss G8 or the DigiTech GNX4 but I think ill stick with my POD, I wish it came with the foot pedal! // 9/10

Really fun
