adam_on_bass Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I only use my POD 2.0 (it is actually a 1 with the 2.0 chip) to record with but the MIDI in and out is a pain most of the time to do tone stuff. I have finally gotten close to the tones I want for certain things (mostly metal but I am missing a presence) but want to know what I am missing in the HD version. And since mine is at least 15 years old it may be time to upgrade but I also have other things on my list to purchase so I don't want to drop the dough if it's not much of an update.

TheRealZap Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 if you like and enjoy the editing on the pc/mac the HD will be a huge upgrade via usb. lots of new effects and improved sound quality... i think its worth it... and sweetwater is having a nice sale on them too... 199$ i think. dont think it can use your old floorboard though...

joel_brown Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I used to have a POD 2.0, actually I still have it somewhere. It will take a while to figure out the PODHD because it has a TON more stuff than the POD2.0 plus is extremely flexible in its routing.. This is a no brainer with the sale at Sweetwater for $199 bucks. My only suggestion is hurry up while the sale is going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AParedes Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 +1 to all. If you were using a Line 6 controller and want to know if it will still work with your new POD HD bean - check the Ethernet jack on your POD 2.0: if it says "FBV" then it works with the later controllers (FBV and FBV Mk II). if it says "pedal" it is not compatible with the newer units (Line 6 had to make this change around 2001with the release of Vetta). http://line6.com/support/page/kb/_/effects/fbv-mki-mkii-controllers/the-complete-line-6-pedal-compatibility-faq-r58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I assumed it being chipped to 2.0 and not originally a 2.0 that there was no chance it would have the FBV connection. worth checking, surely... +1 to all.
