I had one and it worked great. Tones sound good, aux in for mp3 is great, pod 2.0 patches are compatible.
Drawbacks: You can't change patches/effects with your feet while playing (no pedals) No USB recording capabilities Here's a review I wrote about it: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/wiki/index.php/Pocketpod -------------------- Guitars:

My Metal Zone 2 pedal cost almost as much. So pocked pod for army? **** yeah it's the best at that price for its purpose. And if you'll play it through some quality headphones you will get really great sound/tone (experience with cheap headphones is well let say horrible fizzy and fuzzy). I could record you some stuff with it but well it's still at summer cottage due the fact that I don't use it almost anywhere else.|

QUOTE (vampire18 @ Sep 7 2010, 08:22 PM) you mentioned 2 alternatives in youre reviews, the korg pandra px4d and 5 d, what can you tell me about them? This is just my opinion, but after using a PX5D for a long time I must say I liked PocketPod tones better. Specially metal/alternative tones. Korg PX5D has some advantages over pocketpod though, as it allows USB recording, and also provides rhythm and bass backings to jam over. You can also get some sepparate footswitches to change tones with your foot while playing (not included with PX5D though, you have to buy them sepparately) Both are nice options. PX5D is more expensive though. What did I do in the end? Neither of them. I got a BOSS ME-70 and that's what I use when I travel. I LOVE it. But it's much bigger. It's what I need to practice, because I play songs that need switching between clean/distorted and also adding chorus etc. So I needed something to emulate my real pedalboard. Boss ME-70 is as close as it gets to real sepparate stomps, so I don't use the pocketpod or PX5D much lately. I just grab an axe and my ME-70 when I travel on weekends etc. Here's a mini review I wrote about ME-70: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/wiki/inde...-70_Mini_Review Here's a bigger review by our member JDriver: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/wiki/index.php/Boss_ME-70 Here are some reviews about PX5D and PX4D from our wiki: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/wiki/inde...ora_PX4D_Review https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/wiki/inde...rg_Pandora_PX5D https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/wiki/inde...ora_PX5D_Review -------------------- Guitars:

Korg PX5D is a really interesting choice and it allow recording. I think Muris uses that unit in all his lessons.
I really like the concept of those small portable Korg units. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net
