Thanks for keeping the Pod Go alive with all nowadays gear
I think I did about 40 gigs with my Pod Go last year and it was awesome. There's obviously some drawbacks with DSP but I kind of treat it as a traditional amp and use real overdrive pedals to get my drive. Then I build up a 'board' on the pod until I run out of DSP. It does everything I can do with my real amp rig, I rarely take out two amps so the one amp and one cab works just fine for me. I find the restrictions in a way a positive thing, I don't get bogged down trying to do things I wouldn't always do with a 'normal' rig.
The best thing I did was buy the micheal britt presets with a couple of his IRs and it really comes to life. Oh and 'jailbreak' your presets to free up some blocks and get rid of the ones you don't always need.
I've toyed with getting a Stomp XL or even a full fat helix but I don't find the pod lacking yet, it does everything I need it to do and does it well.
So do you go straight into the PA or into your amp and cab?
@@paulorr7471 straight to PA and all on iems.
I do still prefer to use a real amp and pedals but the pod go has its place in my arsenal
Proud gigging Pod Go user here. I use it both stand alone and in 4CM with a Marshall DSL40CR.
A couple things I've done to get around the free block limitations are:
Drive: Rather than stack drives like I would on a traditional pedalboard, I'll use one drive pedal and have snapshots or footswitches that change the settings of that one drive pedal to go from a crunch type tone to higher gain. I've also done this with amp models to go from clean to crunch to dirty.
Mod: I often only need a light modulation effect. Instead of a
dedicated chorus effect or something, I'll use a delay with modulation built in, and use a footswitch or snapshot to turn the mod settings on/off
Clean/lead boost: Never use a pedal block for this. Assign a footswitch to boost the level in your patch either in channel volume, main out level, or my favorite, the level on the EQ pedal block. Since it's a fixed effect, might as well make the most use of it. You can set it to change eq too, and make it more like a mid boost.
For cost, and form factor, unless some crazy actual need for a Helix comes along, I prefer the Pod Go. Easier to carry around, and easier to replace if it gets damaged
i'm thinking of getting the pod go I imagine I'll be using it mostly along with my amp and cabinet but I'd still like to mess with the impulse response I guess my question is can you get good sounds using the impulse response through a physical amp and cabinet if that makes any sense
Can’t wait to try this out. Awesome work as always.
I did a couple of gigs with my pod go last year as my all in rig. Straight to FOH and a boss katana as monitor on stage. Works great ! To overcome the limitations for a whole gig i have a few different versions of the same preset (template preset) with different fx as needed
Thank you John. I've learned so much. Not only about the Pod Go, but guitar playing in general. Rock on.
Thank you for these presets as Aaron Marshall is one of my favorite musicians. I bought your pod go pack last year for the Eric Johnson lead but the fact that I can update the presets as you do is a true jewel thank you for that good sir
Hi John, new subscriber here and I bought a Pod Go recently. These videos are very helpful in dialling my tones. Thank you so much 🙌🏽
Lovely tone and great playing!
Thank you very much!
You always come up with really good stuff. There is one request though. Please do more of these with the pod go.
Amen
Yes! I use the pod go live with my band Strawberry blonde. I have some fx pedals, the pod, Seymour duncan 170 power amp, and cab
Have you ever tried using the impulse response along with the physical amp and cabinet is there anyway to get good sounds that way?
People forget how good line 6 got at fx. I still have 2 of their Pro rack fx from the 2000s. Echo and Filters. They got good at emulating drive pedals just after.
Those racks were the bomb, I had an entire rig buit around the synth rack for awhile.
@@Ghaos I could never get the blue modulation one. Always bugged me how people who had them suddenly whacked up the prices way past the original new price.
Great BT Cordy. That change is nice.
Killer tones JNC. please make more patches from modern metal /DJENT bands like Intervals, Plini, I built the sky, Wide Eyes, Divine, Tesseract, Etc etc. Rock on.
I still love my Pod Go! You could just use it for effects into an amp and it’s great. I have the HX Effects as well. I use it mostly in my studio but if I gigged with it I’d run through and amp and also directly to the PA.
I use mine live for Sunday services, on both Bass and Guitar. I picked the Pod GO over the HX Stomp for the expression pedal and control surface, and the only thing I really wish I had is the ability to properly run a parallel dry signal for my bass.
I typically do the "Jailbreak" on most of my patches, which is just editing the .json file that defines the patch and manually removing the Wah pedal (which does not see much airtime on a Sunday morning.)
the jailbreak is a game changer for the PodGO for sure. I use mine for Sunday services and for my 80s/90s/T40 cover band, and it has covered just about all the bases and my big analog board w/ Iridium has been sitting in my gear closet for almost a year. Having the additional blocks to extend the signal chain w/o FX loop and wah really opened it up.
Holy shit, that was tasty. Nice playing, brutha!
Amazing video! Has anyone told you that your shreddy soloing sounds like Andy James a bit? Keep up the great work
I probably would be a pod go person but I got my Stomp before it came out. I can't think of an easier, quicker way to get out to a gig or a jam. I'm trying to downsize now, so now go for me, but if there's ever an HX 2 line I'll likely get the PodGo2 and be done with a lot of pedals. Dank tones as always sir, fun to see the wee metalhead in your poking out.
I run buffer in to my external pedals into the POD GO, then into the HX Stomp, then stereo wet fx into the send/return of the stomp to my pedalboard to buffer output. It's a combo of both.
Bought one for myself and it's one of the best investments I made with regards to playing guitar. It's affordable and good.
I hope you do a review of that Schecter guitar. When I was looking at Line 6 Modelers, I did consider the Pod Go, but I wanted something that could sit on my desk and had more versatility, so I got the HX Stomp.
Really like the Pod go ,will use it for live gigs although I have a fractal , the pod is easier to use !
Enjoyed the video, as always! I have and older PodGo, and recently spent time with the HX Stomp XL. Dual amps/cabs is cool, and yes, there are a few effects not available on the Pod Go. HOWEVER, Pod Go has an expression pedal, AND when you use the coding jailbreak...you can actually use MORE effects in a chain than on the HX Stomp. (Pod Go has 10 spots, Stomp only has 8). So, I have found the PodGo...in a real world rig setting...to be MORE capable than the HX Stomp or XL.
Helix LT is the best bang 4 your buck
Bravo mi piace molto!
It's more than $100 difference between the Pod Go and the HX Stomp, because you need to add an expression pedal to the cost of an HX Stomp. Currently, that adds up to a $245 difference.
I played a fair amount of gigs on POD Go. I even once got praised for "the best modeller tone ever heard" by a sound engineer who is also a guitar player and a massive tone nerd.
Considering a move to HX Stomp (XL) though - I use Helix with my other band and some sort of preset compatibility would come in handy, especially when considering using the smaller unit as a backup.
You can run dual amps in the HX stomp but it is so DSP-consuming that it is something I mostly rule out. I must admit, though, that dual cabs is a cool thing for the most part. I am just trying to point out that is not a limitation immediately resolved by the HX stomp. I tried this and the HX stomp and went for the latter because it was more compact and the dual cabbing was something I found very interesting, but in all honestly they are very similar when it comes to getting the fundamentals of a good tone.
It has some obvious limitations but I had one of these at the same time as a full on helix and the tones were identical .
I am glad that Line 6 is healthy enough (company wise) that the Pod Go can exist. At its price point I would probably just go with a HX Stomp, but I could talked into buying a red one 'just because'. The GO almost feels like an nod/apology to the old school Pod users, and that's fine by me.
Pod Go in the U.S.has a reduced price right now for around $375 that seems like a good price if anyone wants to buy one!Not sure how long this reduced price will last.
@@jimsimmons2674I've been thinking for three weeks and finally decided to give it a try with 24 month no interest payments, seems a decent deal to me. I don't think something really really better will appear in the market in the next two years for a comparable price. Most people will never hear any difference from real amps in the recordings or live gigs.
Hi John...love your channel...I have a question about IR levels where should I set the level...minus 18 db is default,, could I max out@ plus 6 db....thoughts
What u think would be better a hx stomp or boss gx100 ? I really dont really care about getting “that amp tone” i just want some good tones and sound
Is this impedance issue a real issue for current new units or was it just earlier units? Seems to be lots of conflicting information on the internet... I think L6 should have made a statement one way or the other. I am considering a Pod Go, but the impedance issue does cast doubts.
Show us your global settings and eq please
I jail broke my Pod go to where i can take out the wah and fx loop Now obviously it doesnt give me more dsp, but i can use a Compresser, base drive, another drive, volmue pedal, amp , ir, ping pong delay, glitz and room, and eq boost. but everybody has there own ways of figuring out their own things love my pod go tho. Update! here is the link if anybody wants to try the jail break ua-cam.com/video/JlDhCZOOv9U/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
hallo john, I need very punchy high gain tone on POD GO please🙏
Some lovely licks / playing here....Nice to hear something different from you. I mean no disrespect but I was starting to skip through some intros as they kinda all started sounding the same. A lot more fire in this one. Well done!
I think for a majority of hobby guitarists, the pod go will be all you really need. Sure you will still get GAS, but the pod go will get you 80% of the way to most of the tones a hobbyist will need. Even if you do weekend gigs, you’ll be able to get most of what you need from it. Anyway, most of what you think you need won’t really be heard in a mix/live band context.
I’m still personally not sold on the built in cabs, I think IR’s will be better than stock line 6 cabs just about any day.
It sure is great but i constantly find it too limiting. I went from having fully fleshed out presets to only wanting pedals, with 6 of the 10 blocks being stuck to one type of pedal makes it too limiting for my taste.
Hello I bought your presets for Po Go 6 months ago , can I have thos presets too ?
What do you mean 'Should we take the Pod Go seriously?"???
Where is the factbot? Do bots get days off?
I hardly even use my PodGo anymore or my Helix.... it's just that my laptop + TH-U offers better convenience when it comes to dialling in those tones that I want.
Use my M5 every gig
While the price is attractive, Line 6 is branding this as "Pod" and not "Helix" for reasons illustrated in this video. I'd much rather go with an HX Stomp.
