Previously had a Boss Me70 which was great for learning effects and access to instant gratification with a flip of a dial, but was lacking the amp sounds I wanted as I grew as musician. This unit met those needs and is relatively easy to figure out (after a few YouTube videos). Has built in presets that are decent (sample sounds replicating famous styles or songs), with a few gems that I like which I keep going back to for quick jams. I have created a few own presets, one which I really love as it has THAT sound I've been looking for...that elusive "my sound" guitarists seek out. As it is saved as a preset, I just click to it and I have my sound, that easy. I know there is a lot that I can do that with the unit that I have not done...setting snapshots, etc, but I knew that if I was able to get a few basic profiles setup that had the sound and feel I was looking for, I'd be content. It can get you the tube sound, the impulse response that people talk about these days. For a basement jammer like me, I did not want to buy a tube amp that would 1. Be heavy 2. Be expensive 3. Be loud 4. Require an attenuator (Ox box) to get the right feel and sound. This has the modeling which is decent enough and close enough that I'm satisfied that I don't need to bother with amp shopping anymore. I can dial in the trinity of Marshall, Vox, Fender as well as a bunch of other vintage, modern and boutique amps, along with multitude of cabinets, etc. I have the Line6 Pod Go plugged left and right into 2 amps...my primary (around $800 Quilter Aviator) and a $200 Flat Response amp I bought originally for keyboard and electric drums. Sounds is amazing especially with reverb and delay. I've used the USB to go to PC, which gives a lot of control as you tweak ("dial in") your sounds, but is not 100% necessary once you get the gist of the interface. I'd still like to have seen a longer looper effect but will probably add that to my "next buy" list. Not critical, my backup sounds typically come from YouTube anyhow. I think for the price you pay, assuming you already have a halfway decent amp (or two!), is quite a bargain. Saves me time and $ from chasing the elusive "Tube Dream" I though I needed. Sounds dang good. And for me "dang good" works just fine. Review: Good came in good condition
