Ins and Outs
POD® is equipped to handle today’s guitar recording needs with +4dBu balanced or -10dBV unbalanced 1/4" connectors. MIDI lets you automate every move and our optional FBV™ generation foot controllers let you do it all with your feet. POD 2.0 also comes with a high-power headphone output for silent jamming.

  • Input - Plug your guitar in here.
  • Phones - Plug in your headphones here for silent practicing.
  • Left & Right Output - These are balanced 1/4" TRS connectors, and ready to rock with pro +4 dBu balanced equipment. They will also work happily with unbalanced -10 dBV equipment and standard guitar cables.
  • A.I.R.™ Mode– If you want to plug POD into a guitar amp as "front end," flip the A.I.R. Mode switch to AMP, and set your amp for a clean tone. This defeats the speaker-microphone-room tone simulation of the A.I.R. processing. If you’re using POD in almost any other setup (plugging direct into a mixer, recorder, PA, power amplifier, etc.) you want the DIRECT position on the A.I.R. switch.
  • Foot Pedal Connector - POD® 2.0 is now compatible with the entire line of current foot controllers including FBV Express™ and FBV Shortboard™!
  • MIDI In & Out - Connect POD to your MIDI equipment to select channel memories or automate POD settings.

  • Original Speaker For Fender Jazzmaster Ultralight Cabinet
  • Lightweight Neodymium Magnet, Total Weight Is Only 4.45 Pounds!
  • 100W Rated Power, 2 Ohms
  • Made In Italy
The Neo is a glimpse into the future of musical instrument speakers. Just as Peter L. Jensen's first musical instrument speaker was groundbreaking, the Jensen® Neo brings a new level of innovation to guitar amp speakers.

The raw material, Neodymium, was discovered in 1885 but is just now being used in speaker magnets. Other speaker manufactures have been attempting to create speakers using this material, but only Jensen® has been able to create a Neo speaker line that has genuine soul.

Neo speakers react to the nuances of a guitarist's playing similar to that of the Alnicos. They sound good at low volumes and can handle higher power applications, delivering great tone at any volume levels. Jensen® Neo speakers are clear and clean and will enhance any type of guitar tone.

Neo speakers are half the weight of their ceramic counterparts, making them excellent for heavy amplifiers and those that require multiple speakers. Jensen® Neo speakers lighten your load without giving up power or tone.

Jensen® Neos are currently available in 10, 12 and 15 inch diameters.

The Neo is available in a variety of power ratings starting at 100 watts. Most are available in 8 or 16 ohm impedance.

By combining a lightweight magnet with high power, the Jensen® Neo is truly the speaker of the future.
