The Killer Ant seems to be manifesting all types of signals well, the Pocket POD Express is not an exception.This was also my experience in hearing the PPE perform with an actual amp, a tube unit in this case. The PPE gives off a good basic tone for us who are keen on a simple, multi-FX unit- nothing too excessive but something which doesn't wimp out on tone. The PPE does well but it lacks the depth of the Pocket POD because the latter manifests amp tones, the PPE has a basic tone for the common clean & drive/ distortion needs. It doesn't do more. My addition of the TS7 here (I usually saturate the drive/ distortion for the ease of picking & harmonics execution) ensure there's beef at the output end.
My only gripe with the PPE is its input/output access which are reversed, unlike the arrangement we are so used to in our pedals (less the Russian Big Muff). I've intentionall used coloured cables for the pic above for this explanation; notice how the yellow (output) cable has to go across the brown counterpart (input); LINE6 could have done better in this aspect.
Please do not look forward to strut your Strat/ Les Paul or whichever other boutique guitar you own because they all sound similar through the PPE.

hi sub, just wanna ask, would you say the pp is better den ppe?
nope- just that the PP has more features/ voicing selections. the PPE is for those of us who want a plug-&-play, no-frills set up.
the PPE should have an integrated noise-gate like the PP, that's what i'd like to have.
sorry if i sound noob, but what is no-frills set up? pp can be used in the same ways as ppe, so does the ppe has something that pp cant provide?
for now as it seems to me, pp has more variation for choice.
thanks!
no frills = no excess, just straight to the point.
PP has more features/details. PPE just serves the basic tones.
