Q: What is the difference between the original POD/POD 2.0 and the newer POD 2.0? A: The most obvious differrences are the display now have a different 3-digit LCD display and the POD is now labeled FBV above the RJ45 connection to show compatibility with the FBV series foot controllers. These newer POD 2.0's are not compatible with the older FB4 or Line 6 Floor Board controllers. The newer POD 2.0 also has a different processor from the original and is not upgradeable via EPROM chip. Also, because of this new processor, the modeling of this POD 2.0 may sound slightly different that an original POD/POD 2.0
