I still need to try it myself but from the videos I've watched the amp models absolutely nail the tone and tube-like character of the different amps


Enjoy. I had one for about 6 months and sold it. Not because I didn't love it, but because it made me want to upgrade to the full Helix so I did. The Podgo is a great piece of gear. I suggest getting some 3rd party IRs. York Audio are my favorite and I've tried a lot of IRs.

Expect to spend some time tweaking. The factory presets aren't very good. You can download presets from Line6 custom tone and try them out, they are free. Have fun if you decide to pick one up. But, I would say for the cost, you won't find a better piece of music gear.

My lead guitar player just got a Helix. Sounds great and does about anything. Thing is huge. Had no idea they were that big. He pulled it out and I asked if he bought some Moog Taurus pedals or something.

Thanks for telling me your experience with it. The cost vs versatility vs actual tone is the main reason I settled on this one. That and being able to load IRs was also something I really wanted to play around with.

Have you ever played the Line 6 Firehawk multi pedal? I wanted a multi that has a Mesa Boogie Mark series model, the Pod has the IV and it sounds spot on with the one I had, but I saw that the Firehawk has a IIC+ model which is pretty much what every Boogie fan wants to get their hands on. I haven't been able to find a single video with a playthrough of that model
