Fredrik Thordendal, along with his bandmate Marten Hagstrom, used the Line 6 POD Pro. This is evidenced by a photo featuring both musicians, as highlighted in the Line 6 article about their tour with Ministry and Meshuggah.
As he recalls when listing the gear he used during the "All Killer, No Filler" tour in 2001: "In 2001 I was playing a 2001 Les Paul and my old Marauder through Marshall Tsl live. But we also tried using line 6 pods for a while too instead of amps in 2001.[...] I actually meant to say line 6 Pro. They were the rack mount version. Either way, they had the same sounds in them and they did NOT sound very good!"
Mick Jagger used the Line 6 POD Pro for studio work in the early 2000s, as evidenced by a YouTube video titled "The Rolling Stones in the studio," uploaded by gusmac pi, which shows the band rehearsing in the studio.
