I had one of the original PODs. I got it for headphone practice more than anything else when I was living in a small apartment in AZ after my wife and I first moved over there back in'98. Didn't care for it much. And the sound I really hated was that digital zoom echo you heard everytime you changed the patch. Evil or Very Mad The technology behind it is cool and the sounds themselves aren't half-bad, but they just feel really cheesy: no warmth, dynamics, or life to the sounds at all...

I later got the H&K zenTera and that was a significant improvement over the POD and the CyberTwin which I got for virtually nothing while I was at Fender. But you're playing digital bits on these things - 0's and 1's. Your signal is being chopped to digital 0's and 1's, being reassembled into some software code that's been programmed to sound like a snapshot of some type of tube amp, and then reconverted into an analog signal and then amplified by a solid-state power amp. Mad Do you like the idea of your precious guitar signal getting chopped up into digital bits? Didn't think so...
