Line 6 POD Express Guitar

Take It Anywhere

POD^® Express Guitar is an ultra-portable amp and effects processor that enables guitarists to take their tones wherever they choose. Simple controls make it easy to use, while models derived from the HX^® family of processors ensure exceptional sound quality and authentic feel. POD Express Guitar gives guitarists seven amps, seven cabs, and 17 distortion, modulation, reverb, and delay effects—including a looper—and it may be powered by three AA batteries (included) or an optional 9-volt power supply.

LED Ring

Seven multi-color LED segments light to indicate various parameter functions. A red LED indicates the selected amp model when turning the AMP encoder. When holding the ALT button and turning the AMP encoder or an effect knob, the LED segments indicate the corresponding value. When turning an effect knob, the LED segments (1-7) indicate the level of the currently selected effects.

AMP Encoder

Turn to select an amp (or turn to the detent at the 6 o’clock position for no amp). A matching speaker cab is also loaded. Press and hold the AMP encoder to save the current settings as a preset.

Effects Knobs

These select specific effects within each of the four effect categories. Turning them entirely counterclockwise bypasses the selected effect.

ALT Button

Press to access the alternate control functions (GAIN, MID, BASS, etc.). Hold to adjust the corresponding alternate parameters.

ON Footswitch and LED

Press to enable or bypass the device. The LED lights white when enabled.

TAP Footswitch and LED

Tap this footswitch in time with the music to set the tempo of delay and modulation effects, indicated by the flashing red LED. Press and hold to engage the Tuner.

Preset Mode Switching

Press and hold the ON and TAP footswitches simultaneously to enter Preset Mode. Then, scroll up or down through the 21 preset locations using the footswitches. All 21 preset locations may be overwritten by user presets.
