  • In this video we discuss using the PodGo running into the FX Return of your real amp vs Running into the amps normal input. By doing this it allows you to bypass the tone stack inside your real amp, and allows the preamps in the PodGo to sounds like they intended.
    Any questions please feel free to comment below.
    F.A.Q.: What are those buttons on your footswitches? They are footswitch toppers available from amazon amzn.to/2DSK1Sk

    I've been using my Pod Go like this with my Marshall ValveState VS100R combo. That particular amp has a "FX Loop Level" switch and "FX Mix" knob so I also have control over the volume on the amps end. Pretty cool. I also highly recommend that amp for use with the Pod... it's inexpensive, great tones, and built in the UK like a proper Marshall should be!

    I've been using a method I haven't seen mentioned in any vids or docs - I move the cab block to the end of the chain, preceded by a mono fx block, take the fx send to the amp fx return. I have to set the pod go fx send volume to about half, and set the mix to 50-50 so I get output to both the guitar amp (from the send) and to FOH from the main outs... It seems to work really well for me

    • @KristofferG

    I take it that you're not a fan of the 4 cable method? Like you I am using the 2-cable method and so far I'm pleased. Only difference is I use the AMP OUT to the amp Return since the cabinet is automatically disabled, if the cabinet block is at the end of the chain. At times I may hook up to PC monitors or an FRFR amp and will need the cabinet but will connect using the MAIN OUT.

    Apologies for leaving a second comment within 5 minutes, but after I typed out mine, I saw you reply saying you don't get notified on replies to replies. Anyway, I have a Champion 100. I saw you respond to someone else saying use the PWR IN as opposed to the PRE OUT. So in that other comment, I asked this: "...in the video, you connect it to the FX return, but you mentioned here that it it the PWR in. (which is the FX in/send, no?) - I have the same amp, and I don't know if I am just confused about this. Are combos handled differently, or am I just thinking wrong?"

    Jason - Did you have the amp model (or preamp model) turned on when you went into the front of the amp? That means that you were stacking 2 preamps, and it won't sound the way it was intended. This is the dilemma I have been discussing with a friend. If you are getting your tone from the amp model, going into the return makes sense, but going into the input doesn't, even if you disable the cab. To have ultimate flexibility, use a clean amp model, and a clean amp, and get the rest of your tone from the emulated pedals. That way, whether you go into an FRFR (amp and cab on), or into the input of an amp (amp and cab off) or the return (amp on, cab off), your tones should all be at least close.

    • @fairweatherfriends.

Although the HX Effects might be a better choice for that arrangement due to some added flexibility in your effects signal chain.

    As someone who has a Pod Go and almost about to buy a 5150 LBX Stealth that was very interesting. In a small recording environment can you see any issues running the LBX into a load box/DI and then into the Pod Go for cab sims/IRs to negate the need to mic a cabinet? If it's all too much I might just get one of those Blackstar St James 6l6 heads that has inbuilt loadbox and cab sims. Appreciate your content!

    • @joevstheguitar
      @joevstheguitar 3 роки тому +1

      My recomendation would be to keep that Katana and pick up a Pod Go again, connect the Pod Go to the Katana in "four cable method", use the "pre-amp" models instead of the "amp" models and make sure that the "FX loop" block on the Pod Go is bypassed. This way you will be playing the pre-amp of the Pod Go into a real power-amp, which will make it sound great! An added benefit of this method is that you can bypass the "pre-amp" model and enable the "FX loop" block to then use the "pre-amp" model of the Katana, so you are essentially adding an extra channel to your Pod Go. Just make sure that you disable the Cab/IR block or use the Amp Out (and set the Amp Out to come before the Cab/IR block in your global settings) so that you don't accidently add a cab sound to a cab (that will sound like ass lmao).

    I want to take advantage of the various amp models in the Pod Go. Do the amp models become colored by the voice of the amp you’re using? Lemeno - thanks.

Im not concerned about having 10 effects going at one time i need max 3 effects. Do you think i am better off with the stomp over pod or even just the line 6 effects unit.

    Great!!, thanks for the information. very straight forward advice! (I) I was planning to buy the Pod Go to use it with an acoustic amp (I have a Vox AGA series) In that case I also should avoid the "mic" inputs and connect the Pod into the "L-R line in" inputs to bypass the preamp of the Vox-It has no effects return-?. (ii) Would it be ok to connect the POD Go directly to studio monitors? (iii) Is this method -of the video- worse than the 4 cable method...?. Excuse me for asking that much jaj but I wish I could buy what I really need with no regrets. Thanks in advance and keep on rockin'!

    I’m having serious issues with this unit. I have a 214 and when use it plugged in out into a PA it sounds horrible. There’s no output and when I try to increase the level it clips and fizzes. With my electric guitar same thing - i have the knob maxed and the output levels in the editor set high, I can get enough volume but it clips and even the clean sounds are breaking up? Everything on the PA board is set neutral the slider is up pretty high.

  • @ChrisDeJuanMusic
    @ChrisDeJuanMusic 2 роки тому

    Nice one, thanks for this video! Love the PodGo! I've started using the MAIN OUTPUTS and the AMP OUT simultaneously (like in the first diagram of the quick start manual) sending a cab emulated signal direct to the PA and and non cab emulated signal to the front of the amp... making sure that in Global Settings the Amp Out Source is set to Pre Cab/IR (if it's set to Main Out, the real amp will sound shit!) No need to mic up your real stage amp, which can be a good thing in certain gigs. The only sort of bad thing I find doing this is that the volume of the signal going to the front of the amp is really really loud, I have to keep my real amps volume down at 2 or 3! Does anyone know how to reduce the signal output of the AMP OUT on the Podgo!? Many thanks

      Chris, I set mine up like you said and it sounds good on my clean effects. However not so good with distortion effects. Sounds more like a 'rattle' instead of distorted tone. The distorted snapshot sounds better through the MAIN OUT into monitor speakers. I've placed the Cab at the end of the chain to fix the EXP volume issue through the Amp. Any suggestions on improving the distortion through the AMP OUT?

I much prefer the sound of the high gain on the amp rather than any of the distortion pedals! Maybe you cpuld try this? Also you could set the Amp Out source to Main Out in global settings and try going from the Amp Out on the podgo to the effects loop return on your real amp if has one? Best of luck

      @@ChrisDeJuanMusic So here is my assessment. The issue I'm having could be with type amp I'm using; Ampeg BA-115 bass amp. Probably shouldn't be playing a Gibson SG Standard through it but it's all I have to use. The 'rattle' distortion is happening when setting up the Amp Out Source to Pre Cab/IR. When set back to Main Out the sound is more like what I get out of my monitors but just a little more low end due to this being a bass amp. I know this goes against what Jason says in the video but it works better for me. I think I can refine it more by either tweaking the EQ settings or selecting a more neutral Cab in the Pod Go. Hopefully this observation will help others using a bass amp.

  • @Lukesboxdotcom
    @Lukesboxdotcom 4 роки тому

    The amp out is not well designed on this. You need to manually set the cab as the last block in the chain otherwise you won’t have access to them when you set the IR to off in the global settings. Also running the amp out into the effects return of an amp sounds like crud. I can only get it to sound decent by running the amp out into the front of the amp on clean channel with all the eq down. That sounds much better than the amp out into the effects return. It shouldn’t but it does. Also the volume control doesn’t work as previously pointed out. I need to run the main out to the mixer desk for FOH and amp out into the amp for stage monitoring but using the amp out is rubbish and sounds nothing like FOH so I can’t do it I will have to take a monitor feed from the desk. Also why doesn’t the headphone mute the outputs? Kind of the point of headphones. All in all I think the amp out is not what it needs to be and I’m disappointed with the unit do gigging musicians. If anyone can fine a way of getting matched tone from the amp out into the amps effect return (with IR off of course) same as using the main out then I’d be interested to know how. The difference in tone is marked and the amp out sounds horrible. Nothing like the main outs.

    Thanks for the video mate.
    I'm connecting the pod go to the fx return of my combo.
    Hope you can help me with these:
    1. When would you use the the Amp Out? That's the first thing I did connecting amp out to fx return sound was loud but it had this plastic/inorganic texture to it.
    2. After watching your video I connected the main out the fx return. Here's the confusion: when I turn off the cab on pod go I get that plastic/inorganic sound but when i leave it on I get that warm/rich tube like slayery sound.
    What you think the problem is?
    I bought this only for gigs, and the sound I'm looking for is that old school black thrash sound.
    Any advice will be very much appreciated.

      Dude, you’re awesome. Thank you so much for the quick reply. I actually did figure it out about 30 minutes later. The catalyst requires you to plug guitar into the front of the amp and then it turns on oddly enough. Then once I unplug it and go back to setting it up the way you did in this video. It’s perfectly fine.
