  Had one of these for a few months now and it is a fantastic bit of equipment ! I use it mostly for Silent Practise and use it with an MP3 player loaded with backing tracks plugged in. The only small downside to it is the downloading of extra tones and setting etc. is a little complecated but then speaking as a late 40 something I'm not as 'techy' minded as I used to be and I want everything nice and and simple with instant plug and play. But a great great product that will keep the Mirs's happy while she's trying to watch 'Corrie'.

  Bought one of these a few weeks ago, and it's a total beast for its size and price.
  Sounds great when played through a cheap 10w amp, lots of great presets built in and some great amp models.
  Only problem i had was getting the software from the line6 website to run under windows vista, but once pluged into my laptop it works perfectly.
  I would highly recomend this bit of kit, if you have the spare money go and buy one.

  this is as mentioned a great bit of kit - want to sound like slash - flick a switch, Peter Green - flick a switch, its really that easy. With a newborn in the house this is perfect to plug in stick the headphones in and play to my hearts content (with one eye on the baby monitor!).
  The online stuff is great create or alter tones, or download even more from an extensive database, but heres the only downside to it all, its a bit of a pain then transferring them back to the pod, could be so much easier with better file management on the computer, drag and drop should be used nere, thisi s my only misgiving and the reason Ive only given it 4 stars....

  Had a Pocket POD for xmas and this is my review.
  Use : - Use it for home studio, and as a home studio tool it is fantastic, absolutely superb.
  Used with : Gibson Les Paul, Fender Mexican strat and an old eight track digital recorder. - Superb sounds.
  Caution : Hard to get sounds with the buttons on the device, but used with a PC or MAC the sound editor (download from line6.com), is absolutely first class and allows the user to edit and expand upon the basic editing facilities used on the device itself. With the editor combined the ease of use is simplistic and the device is easily comparable with top of the range PODs (Honest). Back-up of sounds and storing of sounds is very easy and makes the device a must-have.
  I am : A 40something musician who has used many effects throughout the years (both live and home studio based).
  Recommends ? - Oh yes - go get one !
  Rating : ***** - Yes - 5 star - honestly.
