So I picked up a pocket pod for shits and giggles, its a pretty cool little unit. I run it in direct mode, one of the only draw backs is that it don't have a footswitch so i couldn't see gigging with it but for a at home device it works pretty well, and the software to do the editing via usb is pretty good too.

Well I have a podxt with the metal hop model packs installed its my main pre-amp, really like the uber model. i just got the pocket pod so when travelling i don't have to haul along my pedal board a guitar and amp just throw the pocket pod in my case and grab my combo and i'm ready to go. I found that i needed to change the out put setting to direct to get the tone i wanted from it. being as i don't front end an amp i use the pod as a preamp solely.

I like the recto model in it sounds beefy to me. definetly worth the 129 bucks.

The pocket POD is friggin awesome! It smokes my POD2 anyway, both in price and in size and the features are quite similar... I'm depressed...

One of the coolest features about Line 6 gear (amps, processors) is that a lot of them can share patches. For example, I can use tones created on PODxt, Vetta and Flextones. Some might not sound the same, but the base models are very close. I wonder if you can use tones crated on the PODxt on that Pocket POD?

I bought a Micro BR for travel and love it. Gives me effects, multitrack recording, drum machine, tuner. If it had been made by L6, it would be perfect.

I'm pretty sure the new line6 stuff is quite compatible. Maybe you'll need to swap the built in models in order to import patches from models that are not built in. But there is nothing you can do about effects I think.

What is highly IN-compatible is the old pod2

Yeah, the whole non-backward compatibility issue sucks. I've got tons of tones from my Flextone II XL, and I can't use them on my XT Live. Not that I'm complaining though, since I love messin' around with that stuff anyway.

The XT Live rocks. I use it in direct mode when I'm jamming with the cover band, and it smokes. Best of all I don't need to lug around a halfstack!!

I have a Pod II, an old flextone and a Podxt (With all of the expansion packs!)
And I have to say i agree with you guys: I LOVE being able to save/store patches. It's really a cool feature in my mind.
From there, swapping/sharing tones is the next level of coolness. Doing that with the Boss GT8 is a real bitch... (Impossibly hard...)
