I received this after noon a brand new Line 6 Floor POD Plus that I bought on line in the States. There where none available to try in my area of Sherbrooke - Quebec - Canada.
I play an old Fender Telecaster plug into a vintage (1973) and completely rebuild Fender Vibrolux Reverb. The only problem of this set-up, it give me a very good sound but a very clean sound whit out the possibility to overdrive the amp to get a nice tube overdrive sound, unless you crank the volume knob to 4 or 5, but this is impossible for me living in a apartment.
So I ordered the Floor POD Plus and what a deception. This is rip off from Line 6 that created and sell shit to a hi price. OK, the board is a nice looking one, the publicity made by Meat Loaf (he lies and cheat like a politician) claim that the floor board offer you thousand of different “fantastic” sound, but I did not find one sound that I can call “decent”.
This is the worst peace of crap I ever ear in my life, I don’t understand that the engineers at Line 6 created such a bad peace of equipment. I will never “ever” buy Line 6 product in my life, I have my lesson today and I hate to throw 450.00 Canadian dollars in the garbage like I did. I used to love Meat Loaf band, now I hate him for his lies (he must have received a lot of money from Line 6 to cheat and lies like he did).

First of all, you HAVE to question the peerspective of this reviewer. He is reviewing this using the “Meatloaf” band as his meterstick of sound. That in itself should raise a red flag that this person has no clue what he is babbling about.
Second, I purchased one after owning the POD 2.0 edition. Line 6 does have a great product but is in a plateau where it can’t create new innovations one could call “next generation”. It is stuck reissuing the same technology.
In the case of the Floor POD Plus, you get a lot for what you pay for. It can be used as a direct to mixer recording solution,also can be used as a multi-effects pedal board by bypassing the amplifier simulator, and finally it is THE ultimate headphone practice amp simulator.
It has faithfully recreated more amp models (32 different amps) and it lets you choose which “cabinet” you can play through; 1×8″, 1×10″, 1×12″, 2×12″, 4×12″, etc. Literally hundreds of combinations.
6 different delays, 16 modulations effects, noise gate, a few different reverbs and a volume/wah pedal.
It offers twice the functionality that the original POD 2.0 had but not much in inovation of new technology.
The sounds it makes are the same as other PODs but because there are more settings to adjust it’s not as plug-and-play at the simpler PODs.
I bought this unit a month ago from Florida Music supply for $259 with free shipping and I don’t feel like I paid too miuch or was a waste of money.
Buy this if you know PODs and want to explore more with their products. Don’t buy this if you think you’re going to sound like “Meatloaf”.
Meatloaf sucks A$$ !!!
Who the hell listens to that anyway and why are they allowed to review things.
what a jack-hole knuck!
this is good idea to your band & music
