Subject:
Impressive for the price.
Quality:
It seems pretty well built. not quite as good as the other more expensive POD's, but good nonetheless.
Sound:
The tone is nice. It's quite versatile. The amp models and effects sound very good, especially for the price. Even though it doesn't compare to miking up a real guitar amp, it gets the job done.
Reliability:
I've had it for a little over a year now, and it has not failed me yet.
Overall:
Since I moved into an apartment, I found myself searching for another quieter way to record guitar. While I was looking for an inexpensive way to record guitar, I stumbled apon this device. I figured "why not, lets try it." Once I plugged it in, i knew i made the right decision. It's not the best on the block, but for someone who wants versatility with ease of use, this is the way to go!
Playability and Feel:
Controls are simple. It look me very little time to figure out what was what and to get a sweet tone.
Tone:
anything your heart desires.
Finish:
Nothing too fancy, but it looks sharp.
Action:
Right out of the box, it sounded phenominal. It has pretty good presets, but when I tweaked them, they came to life.

Probably best for younger players
Quality:
Don't know long term, but it is built well enough right out of the box.
Sound:
This is where it loses appeal to me. You get so much to choose from very quickly, but lose the warmth and touch sensitivity of plugging right into a good amp or going throw a minimum of, preferably analog, effects.
Reliability:
Don't know. Only had it a few weeks and it already has been relegated to the pile of other digital effects I bought and rarely use.
Overall:
It is pretty amazing that so much is crammed into such a small unit. It is pretty much what I expected - a ton of digital sounds that will appeal to a lot of people.

Sound:
Believe it or not the tone is wonderful. You leave your audience looking pedals. You can even customize the tone if you dont like the defaults.
Reliability:
Stood up quite well. I have mine for over two years now and it still looks and functions the same way from since I bought it
Overall:
Great Price, Great tone, Great portability. It has everything you'd need in the palm of your hand. The only problem is that the battery life is rather short. But dont worry, you always have the option of using an adapter, so you'd rarely have the need to use batteries except in cases where you have no access to power outlets
Playability and Feel:
It's a good compromise between playability and portability. The knobs are a bit small but nothing you cant handle.
Tone:
Whatever you want it to be.
Finish:
Excellent! and it still looks good.
Action:
No set up required.
