• [New Life Support] Buy a Line 6 POD Express series product and get a free rechargeable battery or headphones!

  

  2026/04/01

  We are launching a campaign offering a free Panasonic rechargeable battery set or Yamaha headphones to customers who purchase a Line 6 "POD Express" series multi-effects processor.
  The Line 6 POD Express series is a compact multi-effects processor that condenses a carefully selected range of effects—equivalent to those found in Line 6’s flagship “HX” series—into a small, portable package. This series is highly recommended for those starting out on electric guitar or bass this spring, as well as for anyone looking for their first effects pedal. Both the Panasonic “eneloop” rechargeable batteries and the Yamaha “HPH-100” headphones are compatible with the POD Express series, making them gifts that are sure to enhance your musical experience.
  Be sure to check the manufacturer’s website for details on how to enter. This is a limited-time special campaign, so please take this opportunity to consider the POD Express series.
