Line 6 POD Express Guitar Amplifier and FX Processor Pedal - Black

High Gain in the Fast Lane

POD^® Express Black delivers a compact, portable toolbox of amps and effects for the practicing guitarist looking for classic and modern high gain tones. With its user-friendly interface dialing in your sound is simple, and that is a sound that has been derived from Line 6’s flagship Helix product. Battery powered and a headphone output make it perfect for playing everywhere. With two footswitches (tap/tuner), stereo ¼” outputs, and a 4-in/4-out USB audio interface, the POD Express Black offers plenty of versatility, from backpack to desk-top and could even be your go-to back up for the stage.

Take Them Anywhere

The ultra-portable family of POD^® Express amp and effects processors enable guitarists and bassists to take their tones wherever they choose. Simple controls make them easy to use, while models derived from the award-winning HX^® family of processors ensure exceptional sound quality and authentic feel. All POD Express products include seven amps, seven cabs, and 17 effects—including a looper—and all units may be powered by three AA batteries (included) or an optional 9-volt power supply. Additional features include stereo outputs, tap tempo, a tuner, a noise gate, a headphone output, and a USB-C audio interface with re-amping capabilities.

Lighten the load of your bulky pedalboard with the ultracompact POD Express Guitar (Black) from Line 6, a portable modeling amp and multi-FX processor pedal. Sporting models derived from the HX family of processors and packed with 7 amps, 7 cabs, a looper, and 17 FX ranging from distortion and modulation to reverb and delay, POD Express Guitar lets you do more with less.

The flexible stereo output supports both fully stereo and dual-mono output, letting you connect to stereo devices (such as amps, interfaces, and stereo FX units) or connect to up to two mono devices at once, such as two separate amps or cabs. Use the 3.5mm headphone output with adjustable volume for silent practice anywhere and the 1/4" control input for up to two external footswitches or an expression pedal. And with a USB-C port for 4x4 USB recording and audio interface duties, you can easily reamp, record, and download IRs, and more. POD Express Guitar includes three AA batteries to get you started.

Simple Controls

Selecting and using amps and effects is entirely straightforward. Seven multicolor LED segments light to indicate various parameter functions. A red LED indicates the selected amp model when turning the AMP encoder. When holding the ALT button and turning the AMP encoder or an effect knob, the LED segments indicate the corresponding value. When turning an effect knob, the LED segments (1 to 7) indicate the level of the currently selected effect.

Versatile Footswitches

Use the onboard footswitches to engage amps/effects, change presets, sync time-based effects to a specific tempo, and activate the onboard tuner.

Flexible Power Options

POD Express supports power from either three AA batteries (included) or a standard 9V power adapter such as the Line 6 DC-1 (not included). This ensures you always have a power source, whether POD Express is sitting in the heart of your pedalboard or standing alone.

Extra functions include:

• Tap tempo
• A built-in tuner
• Noise gate
• 21 preset locations including 7 factory presets
