Indeed. When I first googled it if didn't seem that close (amp sim
hardware v's a software bundle format), but after sleeping on it I think

Before further
discussing the name "Pod", please have a look at
www.line6.com/products/pods/ . There is a whole family of FX processors
for guitar and bass under the registered trademark "POD", and these
devices are well known and widely used. So it´s probably not a good idea
to name a software effects collection "Pod".
This is a good point. The POD line is _VERY_ well known, and given that
plugins can be effects or guitar amp models etc (ie the domain is
similar) I wouldn't be surprised if Line6's lawyers had something to say
about it once they find out.
