Quick Product Summary

The Line 6 POD 2.0, often referred to as the POD V2, is the classic red desktop guitar amp modeller that helped establish Line 6 as a major name in digital guitar processing.

This used example is in Good condition, with cosmetic signs of previous ownership and normal use. It combines 32 amplifier models, cabinet simulation, modulation, delay and reverb effects, 36 user memory locations, MIDI connectivity and stereo outputs in the instantly recognisable kidney-shaped desktop format.

Whether connected directly to headphones, recording equipment, a mixer, PA system or guitar amplifier, the POD 2.0 remains a convenient all-in-one solution for practice, recording and experimenting with different guitar sounds.

What Makes the Line 6 POD 2.0 Special?

32 Amp Models

POD 2.0 provides 32 amplifier models, covering everything from clean American-style sounds and vintage British crunch through to modern high-gain, fuzz and dedicated preamp tones.

The front-panel Amp Models selector provides immediate access to the primary sounds, with the second group of models accessed using the Tap function.

Cabinet Modelling

Selecting an amplifier automatically calls up an appropriate speaker-cabinet model, while alternative cabinet simulations can also be selected independently.

This makes it possible to create combinations of amplifier and cabinet characteristics without needing a physical collection of amps and speaker cabinets.

Built-In Effects

The POD 2.0 includes a useful selection of effects covering compression, tremolo, chorus, flanging, rotary speaker and delay, alongside spring- and room-style reverb.

Delay, modulation and other effect parameters can be adjusted from the front panel, with Tap Tempo available for time-based effects.

A.I.R. Direct Recording Technology

Line 6's A.I.R. processing adds speaker, microphone and room simulation when the POD is being used directly with recording equipment, headphones, a mixer or PA.

An AMP/DIRECT switch allows the output to be optimised either for direct connection or for feeding a conventional guitar amplifier.

36 Memory Locations

The POD provides 36 channel locations, arranged as nine banks of four presets, allowing favourite amp and effects combinations to be stored and recalled.

Who Is It For?

The Line 6 POD 2.0 is ideal for guitarists looking for an affordable and flexible desktop modelling unit for home practice, recording, songwriting or experimenting with different amplifier sounds.

Its headphone output makes it particularly useful for quiet practice, while the balanced stereo outputs and direct-mode processing make it equally practical for home and project-studio recording.

Condition Overview

Condition Grade: Good

This Line 6 POD 2.0 is in good used condition, with cosmetic signs of previous ownership and normal use.

Detailed Features & Benefits

Familiar Amp-Style Controls

Despite its digital modelling technology, POD 2.0 is designed much like a conventional guitar amplifier. Drive, Bass, Middle, Treble, Channel Volume and Reverb controls make basic tone editing immediate and intuitive.

Tap Tempo & Deeper Editing

The Tap button controls the tempo of compatible delay and modulation effects while also providing access to secondary parameters including delay feedback, delay level, reverb decay, presence and additional amp models.

Stereo Connectivity

Balanced left and right 1/4-inch TRS outputs allow the POD to feed recording equipment, mixers or other compatible gear in stereo. Standard unbalanced guitar cables can also be used.

Headphone Practice

A dedicated headphone connection makes the POD a practical standalone practice system without requiring a guitar amplifier.

MIDI Control

Traditional MIDI In and Out connections allow preset changes and parameter control from compatible external MIDI hardware.

Built-In Tuner & Noise Gate

A chromatic tuner is incorporated into the front panel, while the switchable Noise Gate helps control unwanted noise when using higher-gain sounds.

Power Requirements

The Line 6 POD 2.0 requires a compatible 9V AC power supply rated at a minimum of 1200mA.

This is important because the POD 2.0 requires AC power rather than the 9V DC supplies commonly used for guitar effects pedals.

A suitable Line 6 PX-2/PX-2G-type supply or correctly specified equivalent can be used.

No power supply is included with this used Line 6 POD 2.0.

FAQs

Is the Line 6 POD V2 the same as the POD 2.0?

Does it include cabinet modelling?

Yes. Selecting an amp model automatically loads an appropriate cabinet model, and alternative cabinets can also be selected.

Does it have built-in effects?

Yes. Effects include compression, tremolo, chorus, flanging, rotary speaker and delay, along with built-in reverb.

Does it have tap tempo?

Yes. The Tap button can set the speed or tempo of compatible delay and modulation effects.

Can I save my own sounds?

Yes. The POD 2.0 provides 36 preset locations, arranged across nine banks with four channels in each.

Can I use it directly with headphones?

Yes. A dedicated headphone output makes the POD 2.0 suitable for silent practice.

Can I record directly from it?

Yes. Its stereo outputs and A.I.R. speaker/microphone/room simulation make it suitable for direct recording into compatible equipment.

Can it connect directly to a mixer or PA?

Yes. Set the A.I.R. switch to DIRECT when connecting to a mixer, recorder, PA or similar full-range system.

Can I connect it to a guitar amplifier?

Yes. The AMP position on the A.I.R. switch is designed for use when feeding a conventional guitar amplifier.

Are the outputs stereo?

Yes. The POD provides left and right outputs for stereo operation. The Left output can be used on its own for mono operation.

Are the outputs balanced?

Yes. The main outputs are balanced 1/4-inch TRS connections, although they can also be used with standard unbalanced guitar cables.

Which Line 6 foot controller works with it?

Compatibility depends on the particular POD 2.0 hardware revision. Units marked FBV PEDAL support compatible FBV-series controllers, while earlier units marked PEDAL use older Line 6 Floor Board/FB4 controllers.

Can I power it with a normal 9V guitar pedal supply?

No. The POD 2.0 requires 9V AC, not the centre-negative 9V DC power used by most conventional effects pedals.

Is a power supply included?

No. No power supply is included with this used POD 2.0.

What condition is this example in?

This example is graded Good, with cosmetic signs of previous use consistent with a pre-owned desktop guitar processor.
