Look into the Korg Pandora PX5D. Recently discontinued but you can still find them (I got mine from Ebay).
I just got mine, I only really wanted it for a few sounds as a headphone amp so i can play my mini-Strat at the river, but it does so much more, including USB out for recording. A very powerful, feature-packed little device, I haven't even scratched the surface of what it can do yet.

I had the POD 2.0 as well, great for headphone jams and even used it live quite a bit.
A typically cheaper option that I really like is the Behringer V-Amp, really like the sounds of the V-Amp.

Re: Pocket POD or used POD2, POD-XT etc…
I have a POD X3, I bought it for practice with backing tracks and recording using a computer and solo practice with headphones. It worked pretty good for that purpose, but now my needs are different.
On the X3 using input 2 as an aux in is challenging (it's XLR), so I basically need some sort of mixer or computer to practice with headphones. Also, even though it has a million models, they all sound very similar. I do like having all the bass models though.
If I were buying today for practice, I'd get the Pocket POD. Easy aux in and headphone out, enough models to do what you need and cheaper/smaller than the other models. I have no experience with the V-Amp though...

I had a Pocket Pod and a PodXt, both worked well for headphone playing, although the better the headphones, the better you'll sound. You get a lot less bass on cheaper headphones. You can pick either of these things really cheap.

I have a Pocket POD that I use for headphones. You can connect it to a computer via USB and edit on a level completely different from what's available on the unit itself.

Re: Pocket POD or used POD2, POD-XT etc…
I've been using my V-Amp and actually liking it quite a lot. I'm getting pedals for the distortion/overdrive sounds, but really that's just me experimenting. I play my V-Amp into headphones all the time, and also through my (hopefully soon to be upgraded) Fender ss practice amp. Even through my neighbour's tube amp on clean, the V-Amp puts out some good noises. Even has a foot pedal.
Never tried the pocket pods, so I can't help you there, sorry.

eBay is where I bought my PODs and V-Amps, good avenue with a variety available.
I currently have rack mounts for both (Pro versions) so I definitely agree on full size over the pocket.

I like the portability of the Pocket POD. Runs on batteries (or a 9V DC input), tiny, has a belt clip. Lets me use headphones wherever I want without dragging a bunch of stuff around.

Re: Pocket POD or used POD2, POD-XT etc…
I keep thinking that about the Pocket POD or the Pandora "Hey - I can carry it around!"
I think the reality is I would stick it on a table near the bed and it would never move, and I wouldn't plug a Pandora into a 4x12 ever….
POD + Powerblock + 4x12 = some @$$kicking…

I haven't used Ebay in about 10 years. Just asking for future reference... do you need a Paypal account to make purchases on there?

The fullsize pod is way more versatile than the pocket pod. I had one for bedroom jamming for several years, it was nice to be able to download patches and make my own.
I have a Zoom G2nu now and it works very well, I am getting ready to upgrade again as that one is also several years old.
All the Zoom stuff works well and is a really good value..

The old guitarist from the Velcro Pygmies Delicious used a pod straight into a PA quite often and his live tone was quite delicious..
I talked to him one night and said, that don't sound like a Mesa Recto? He told me what he was running and blew my mind..
