My POD Express came in today. I had an hour or so to mess with it and first impressions are great. This has pretty much the perfect feature set for me, as I’m not too picky on dialing in any kind of precise tone and most of the amp defaults are fine to get playing quickly. Both the immediacy and simplicity of the options work together really well that it gives you the same tactile satisfaction of dialing in a few pedals, but will the whole fx chain in a single compact box. I love having the stereo fx in headphones.
I’m glad we’re able to swap cabs around as I prefer the V30 cab for all the higher gain stuff.
I ran it into the power amp of the Catalyst and it worked well too - they are a good pair.
Right now there are only a couple things I would look forward to in an update:

Right now there are only a couple things I would look forward to in an update:
- Would be cool if you could move the mod pre amp - I just prefer my mods in the front before gain
- Would be nice if tempo could be set independently for mod and delay (or to different beat lengths) - I like mod slow but then the delay is too slow
- Also wouldn’t mind a reverb more like the Dynamic Ambient - just to create a little space in headphones without too much obvious effect - even the lowest spring or plate is a touch too much for a drier sound
