Line6 Pod GO

This is a nice little compact multieffect pedal. The sound is amazing, but unfortunately, you cannot create a patch where you use a clean amp for clean tones and use a hi gain amp for the rest of the snapshots within that patch. Giant con unfortunately. There are not much amps where you can do this type of versatile patch. If any. Also, the software is still very much filled with bugs, but there are constant updates, so not worried. The patch versatility will remain an issue I presume, but hoping for the best. I only use it for inspiration and creating riffs and stuff (being a drummer first, but also a somewhat-songwriter). This is more than enough for that, but not yet enough for the mentioned versatile patch. We'll see. The handling is easy as pie, have quality effects (limited number of effects within a patch, but for most of us, this will be enough), sound is basicaly HELIX, and... well... cute little thing. A pro-level case would be nice for it, but not any "official" one exist yet. I modified a THON case for it (Thomann stuff, so quality is more than satisfactory). Many have used it live, most of them satisfied with the result. So... So far, I'm okay with my purchase. Hopefully the updates solve all the issues. Recommend for writing, maybe not yet for pro-use. But very-very soon I will recommend it for that too.

Currently I use the Pod Go for bass. After a few months of playing I can say that wish I saved money for a Helix LT or something similar. I thought I would settle with a simple modeler but I with time the simplicity became too limiting.
The sound isn't too impressive. Maybe my setup isn't perfect but I can always feel the digital and unorganic vibe to the distortion sounds. I know that many people (me included) improve the sound with third party IR's. The ability to load IR's is great but I find it odd paying extra for improving the sound. I think Line6 should invest more in that area.
To summarize:
Pros:
-lightweight and portable, fits in most bags;
-easy to use and understand;
-sounds ok for a modeler;
-can be used as a audio interface;
-competitive price.

Cons:
-not the best distortion sounds;
-stock cab sims are lacking, I'm not happy about paying extra for better sound;
-guitar players who like to use many effects simultaneously, use double amps/cabs or run parallel chains will find the Pod Go limited;
-A big design flaw in my opinion: The signal entering the AUX input comes out at all outputs. This means that you can't monitor yourself with headphones when plugged to amplifiers/speakers.

A decent product for a good price but I have outgrown it quickly.
