I've been using this unit since 2014. Sound wise it seems ok. I'm not too much of a sound-buff so turning a few knobs for a few minutes and i'm mostly happy. I've been running it directly into the PA and in the band contect it works just fine (heavy metal).

The big letdown for me was the quality of the unit itself. I almost exclusively use it in the rehersal room for one weekend each month. I dont carry it around at all, yet still the power connector on the unit started to crap out on my after 2 years. Last rehersal i used the wha pedal (which i have used like.. 5 times since i have the pod) and it didnt work anymore.

Maybe it was just bad luck with my unit, but I am now thinking about getting the Headrush instead.
