Line 6 Announces POD Direct Recording Device for Guitar
April 28, 1998Line 6 introduces POD(TM) - the first great sounding direct recording tool for musicians who record guitar. The uniquely shaped, fully programmable stereo desktop unit is designed to deliver a wide range of legendary amp tones and authentically recreate the sound of mic'd speaker cabinets.
With POD, recording tonally mindblowing guitar tracks with full volume punch and "air" is now a hassle-free, instant reality. Without disturbing your neighbors, waking the kids or driving your significant other up the wall.
POD's unprecedented direct tone is the result of Line 6's breakthrough A.I.R. direct recording output - an acoustically integrated cabinet/speaker/microphone emulation technology. Combined with the patented TubeTone digital modeling technology found in the revolutionary AX2 212 and Flextone Series Digital Guitar Amplifier Systems, as well as the acclaimed Amp Farm Plug In for Pro Tools TDM, POD offers recording musicians a deep, inspirational sonic palette.
Guitarists familiar with the knob driven Flextone Series Combo Amplifiers will recognize the POD feature set of sixteen TubeTone Amp Models and sixteen pro quality digital effects setups arranged on separate knobs. With the recording environment in mind, POD offers more extensive programmibility via MIDI-Adjustable parameters. The complete POD package includes a CD-ROM with editing software for both PC and Mac platforms.
POD, housed in rugged die-cast aluminum, measures 10.5" x 7" x 3" and will be available in October. For additional information please visit the Line 6 Web Site at www.line6.com or call 1-877-ToLine6.
