Line 6 POD Pro Digital Modeling Guitar preamp

Well just skip the whole debate between the audiophiles who will wax endlessly about how this thing doesn't really sound like the amps it models or a real recording chain—and the recording newbies who've discovered the first tool that even comes close to delivering on that claim after decades of failed emulations and false advertising.

They are both right.

Bottom line: a very useful tool for the recording pro as well as the beginner, and I'm happy to have it around.
