The Line 6 POD Go pairs traditional controls with a large color LCD to let players interact with virtual amps, stomps, and cabs in new and meaningful ways on the Line 6 POD Go. Whether you're running live FX into a stage amp, recording and re-amping through modeled amps and cabs, or outputting rich Helix-derived tones directly from the stage to the PA, the Line 6 POD Go has you covered.

The price and simplicity of the Line 6 POD Go tailor this floor processor to players who have been on the fence about diving into the Line 6 ecosystem. With the Line 6 POD Go, there's only a short learning curve standing behind the Line 6 POD Go and total integration with your rig. Who knows? Once you experience the freedom of gigging out with nothing but the guitar on your back and the Line 6 POD Go at your feet, you may never drag an amp out of your practice space again.
TheLine 6 POD Go eliminates the hassle of loading up and gigging out by giving you stunning re-creations of some truly timeless amp tones. Sag, chime, harmonics, dynamics, crunch. The Line 6 POD Go has onboard cabinet models, stompbox FX, and analog/digital outputs that equip the Line 6 POD Go to be the only piece of gear you record and gig out with, or one of several parts in live amp chain. Expandable features of the Line 6 POD Go include a headphone output for silent monitoring with the Line 6 POD Go, an FX loop for incorporating real-deal effects pedals with the Line 6 POD Go, and a dry amp output for monitoring through a live amp while sending modeled tones straight to FOH with the Line 6 POD Go.
With the Line 6 POD Go you can access a heaping helping of these iconic tones without the all-in size and price tag. Inside the Line 6 POD Go you'll find 270+ Helix and legacy models of your favorite classic amps, stomps, and cabs. On the Line 6 POD Go you can mix and match these in endless arrangements for dream tones with the Line 6 POD Go.
As with every latter-day Line 6 floor processor, the Line 6 POD Go gives you bulletproof construction, eight tour-grade rugged footswitches, and a cast aluminum expression pedal on the Line 6 POD Go that's rated to survive life on the road. Yet for all its strength, the Line 6 POD Go remains remarkably light and compact - the Line 6 POD Go is the perfect throw-and-go unit for a backpack or suitcase guitar traveler.
A drawback to lesser floor units is having to squint to see that one line of monochrome text as it flies by between patch changes. But not so with the Line 6 POD Go. The Line 6 POD Go has a full-color screen that reads out your full signal chain at a glance, and with the powerful backlight on the Line 6 POD Go it is easy to read even on a dark and hazy stage.
The Line 6 POD Go has an integrated expression pedal that injects the player's heart and soul into every performance. From volume swells with the Line 6 POD Go and rotary accelerations to landing the perfect Mick Ronson cocked-wah sound, the expression pedal adds a ton of potential to the Line 6 POD Go's powerful amps and FX.
The Line 6 POD Go gives you the tools you need to craft countless guitar rigs and recall them in a flash. Snapshots within the Line 6 POD Go don't just let you pull up tones from a song - here you can set verse, chorus, and lead tones and access them on a section-by-section basis, all in real time with the Line 6 POD Go. Snapshots on the Line 6 POD Go is just another way in which the Line 6 POD Go can greatly enhance your performance life.
Floor units like the Line 6 POD Go excel in the recording environment. With the Line 6 POD Go you can track guitar parts direct into a DAW session in pristine 24-bit/96kHz stereo quality. Or, for greater expandability with, you track your parts dry and take advantage of the Line 6 POD Go's re-amping capabilities for endless tonal variation down the road.

I love my Helix Floor, I’m using it on Avril Lavigne’s Head Above Water Tour currently. I played through the POD Go yesterday. Definitely picking one for local shows and small clubs!
just read your AMA on r/bass. Stop following me! :D
What was the build quality like?
My friend used to tell girls at bars that he played bass for Avril Lavigne to attempt to get laid. I think it worked once or twice.

Sue has a nice body but mentally she’s a hot mess.
This is the best video demo I've seen yet. As always, fantastic job....
Picked up my Pod Go from my local music store a couple weeks ago. I replaced my Floor Pod Plus from 2010 that I used for gigs and recording. I run the Pod Go into the power amp section of my 1994 Fender "Evil Twin" when I want external speakers. I use it as an interface to record into Studio One. Killer amp models on board and I've imported a ton of free presets and IR's from the Line 6 website and various UA-cam demo videos for inspiration. I don't miss the things it doesn't do due to DSP limitations; parallel signal paths, more than four effects per preset. I also don't need a Variax input or XLR outs (I can run into a direct box or use a 1/4inch to XLR cable). The amp and cabinets do not take up any of the four user slots, and there is a global noise gate on the input signal so you don't need to take up one of the four spaces with a gate. Overall, if you're looking for something to be able to grab and go for recording and gigging with killer tones and great user interface, this unit kills it.

Hi friend 1.are you able To add existing stereo pedals to it in any position in signal block chain ? 2. Does recording stereo via its in built USB interface useful and better than hooking it to audio interface ( I have single input Scarlett solo and was wondering if poD Go audio interface would do stereo recording ) 3. How would you recommend it for ambient music ? Are reverbs delays comparable ?
@@pratyulmusic Hello! 1. There are no stereo signal paths available in the Pod Go. You are able to move the effects to any spot in the signal chain, but there are no parrellel paths available. 2. I have used the Pod Go as an interface but much prefer my Presonus Studio 26. The Pod Go has left(mono)/right main outs which I presume could be sent to two interface inputs, but as an interface it connects via USB so I don't believe stereo recording that way would be possible. 3. I've haven't got into the weeds as far as presets go, but all the effects are Helix so the reverbs and delays are killer. Again, you are limited to a single signal path, so you can't do different delays/reverbs in parallel, but the available effects are fantastic. I'm using my Pod Go on the recent recordings on my channel (no amp) so you could check out a couple songs there (MK Sounds). The older songs were with my Floor Pod Plus and the Pod Go is lightyears ahead of that thing as far as tone. If anything else comes up gear-wise hit me up at sleepyhollowmusic2017@gmail.com
Hope this helps and all the best from the Bay Area.

Always love your demos and presentations This was great and really had to say that guitar sounds great and looks cool as hell🤗
Love the simplicity! For those of us that are primarily an amp, guitar,
cable and couple of pedals kind of player this is a welcome addition.
Get a helix lt, you won’t be disappointed. It’s not just a “modeler” , it’s a platform. What most don’t talk about is it was designed to be the control center for the rest of your gear, not necessarily a replacement for that gear
I’ve got an HX Stomp and it’s fantastic.
@@juanvaldez5422 Amplifier 6 sounds better if you're looking for authenticity.
@@jackzango427 "amplifier 6"? Do mean a n amplifier? I have amps, tube amps and digital amps. I currently run a helix lt via four cable into a bogner designed tube amp (almost no one in the gear community has payed attention to this amazing amp and it came out 10 years ago) and its a beast rig.
@@juanvaldez5422 No. Google Studio Devil Amplifier 6
Always wanted one. Has amazing tones and variations.
I can always count on Mitch to give the demo I need ❤️
Mitch packs a lot of info into this short video - great demo
Solves some of the problems I had with the HX Stomp.
Great in depth review Mitch! I dig the pedal .It sounds good and a small footprint and you played the bridge to "Over The 🌈 Rainbow"
great demo. side note: love the jacket.
Pre-ordered one... thanks....good demo....
Great review Mitch.👍🏻
I want this! I already own 3 Helix units but this seems so cool too! Way to go Line 6!
lol
CHURCH GEAR REVIEWS wow.... all floor units? I have the Helix Floor, HX Effects and HX Stomp... I’m going to pass on this cool unit...
Bernz66 2 floor units and one LT
The Lord is not pleased with your GAS...
Neth BT 😂😂 the units are for my musicians at church! The best for the Lord
Wow well done demo
Got mine pre-ordered. Looks like they won’t be in a Sweetwater till sometime in may. Hoping they can get some by the end of april
That is the clearest explanation of any Multi-FX pedal I've come across, many thanks. This looks like it's just what I am searching for. I'm a Digitech RP360 and RP500 user, but want something a bit more modern and more flexible and this looks the part. I did try a Mooer GE200 but it didn't suit and I was looking at the HX Stomp, but I think this better suits my needs. Digitech should have done something like this, but they've missed the boat now.
I have been heavily criticized for using my RP 360. I am in the exact same boat as you. Something a little more but not over the top (price wise too!)
I'm in the same boat. Went from the RP 300 to 350 to the 500, which I love. Having 5 presets per bank and that HUGE LED screen is nice. Seams like everyones going for a billion patches and tiny screens where some of us just need a few decent patches and usable functionality.
@@kckennedy55 I still use my RP360XP, it's a great pedal. Those criticising are just pedal snobs. I'm not sure where you play, but if it's in bars and small clubs like me no-one can tell the difference between the RP360 and a full-blown Helix.
@@CinemaKev24 I still use both my RP360XP with one band and the RP500 with another. The stomps are useful, but in one of my bands I can use just one-setting at a time so can get away without using the RP500, so even lighter.
@@martinohara5003 Ya, I'm a big fan of lighter when possible. Ditched my 100# Mesa rig and made a 2x10 combo with Neo Jensens and a 1U slot for a SS power amp. My RP is my preamp. Total weight 45#. I'm still curious how the RP compares to today's MFX units.
Nicely presented Mitch. So much easier @‘45 than @ ‘78 :)
Love the camera color
Thanks Mitch. Costs the same as 2 good effects pedals. I use the M5 on my board if a song calls for a tone i dont have on my board. Can you do a video with this into the line 6 amp that was built for these units? BTW what guitar strap is that it looks comfortable. My Sweetwater sales engineer online is Cassie O'Hanlon and she is awesome.
I had sworn off Line6 because of the over-indulgence in redundant fx, but they took my advice & scaled that back and focused on quality over quantity, I think I might take another look...Sweetwater is a fine company to deal with. great demo.
I haven't bought a Line 6 device since 2005 (my POD XTLive) and then 2010 (my Spider IV 75W amp), due to price, but maybe now it's time to upgrade.
Dave Lanciani still use my xtlive
Hey there! Me too! I started with L6 stuff in 2003, with a POD Pro and a Filter Pro. Then I realize that without roadies, I had to carry on with a whole and big setup (one amp, rack case with filter and Pod, my guitar, ... fuckoff!). I changed everything and got a POD XT Live. Actually, there are many failures with shit stuff like Java versions everytime I try to use the Line 6 Edit... older for this times. Need un gear upgrade!
This would immediately go on my wishlist, if it had been designed with a battery compartment. Is it me, or has Line 6 only marketed one battery-powered modeling unit, the Pocket Pod? Why is that?
I haven’t been in Ft. Wayne since October 2007, and I only snagged a glimpse of the Sweetwater headquarters from the outside. I hope I will be there again soon and make myself free to come inside. It would be great to meet and shake hands with Mitch Gallagher.
Have they made the editor available for this yet?
Modulation, reverb, delays. Which is better. This or Boss me80?
Well, it sure makes a lot of different sounds. But what I want to see most is how quickly you can change from one preset to another when playing in a cover band that plays a wide variety of tunes from the 60s to the 20s, rock, country, soul, disco, bro country, each song beginning within 10 to 15 seconds of the previous one.
What about a 2 rack-space version?? Any word on that happening?
Not sure if the pedal is assignable to other effects such as pitch rather than just wah and volume. Otherwise, there is no room to complain about this package at this price.
I have tried Helix, HX STOMP, Boss GT1000, Headrush pedalboards and they have all been harsh especially through FRFR Headrush Monitors. How does the POD GO sound through FRFR MOnitors.?
Hey Line 6... a fully functional Helix in this chassis size and setup would sell
Great video thanks! What are main differences in sounds and effects between this and the hx stomp?
Hey, Erick! Thanks for your question, happy to help. While the PODGo and the HXStomp derive from the same basic DNA, the biggest differences are with how the feature sets are accessed and the inputs/outputs. Four blocks (wah/volume/amp/eq) are part of every preset in the Pod. You can add up to four other effects (delay and reverb stereo) and the fx loop. Six effects available on the HX of your choosing, all can be mono or stereo and you have a parallel path option. Mono in Stereo out on the POD, Stereo in and out on the HX. Not as fast a processor in the POD. If using the same blocks and routing, presets can transfer from Helix to HX to POD and back.
Please contact me direct for other questions.

@@sweetwater so are the sounds the exact same as i would get in the hx stomp quality wise? or does less dsp affect the overall quality and tone?
So this is a firehawk fx 2 covered with the POD name?
Hello Mitch, thanks much for this review, will this new POD GO have presets exchangable with the Helix floor ?
Thanks for reaching out! We're not sure yet if you can swap presets with the Helix and the GO. The GO has less DSP than the Helix Floor, so I could see that causing issues, though. Send me an email and I can keep you notified as we get information!

@@sweetwater Thanks again Mitch, great review and product
A smaller Firehawk FX with a TFT screen from a Helix?
This is a little long but if you're on the fence about modeling this could be a worthwhile read.
I bought one of these for late night practicing through headphones and the occasional fly gig/jam. It sounds so good to me that it has become my main rig, but there’s an important catch- I bypass the cab sims and put it straight into the fx loop return of my Bad Cat Cub 15R because, let’s face it, FRFR systems cannot recreate the “amp in a room” sound.
Although I’m not about to part with my Eventide H9, the effects on board are good to excellent. I’m still pretty floored by how uniformly great this setup sounds. Just so you don’t think I’m some easily impressed noob, I’ve been playing since the early 80’s and own or have owned great amps by the likes of Mesa (at least 6), Carr, Friedman, Budda, Fender CS, Orange, Rivera, Revv, and so-on. I’ve had my favorites from these brands and I can really say that the Pod Go into my Bad Cat’s fx loop return puts as big a smile on my face as any of the above amps.
Maybe I just got lucky and the Bad Cat just happens to “like” the Pod Go and it’s a great combination just by chance? Eventually I’ll pull out other amps to find out. I also think it’s important to mention that in my experience it doesn’t sound good into the front of an amp which makes sense given that you’re putting a modeled preamp into a real preamp in this scenario.
Modeling has really come of age IMHO. If you’re tired of lugging a big rig around and you’re intrigued by modeling but don’t like the FRFR experience you should consider this kind of setup. You may be very surprised. Oh yeah, the day after I bought this I got an email from Fractal as I'd been on their waiting list for the past 6 months for a FM3. With all the confidence that I was making the right choice and zero regret to date, I told them I was going to pass. YMMV
Please make a bass demo with this unit. Or is this not recommended for bass?
Hello, Edmund! While you would be able to use bass with this, I'd probably look in a different direction. Any of the amp/cab sims or overdrive/distortion effects in there are going to be geared more towards guitar. So they'll sound thin and sorta just wrong on bass. Unless they release a firmware update with bass specific effects, I'd look at something more like the Boss ME-50B:

Hello very informative video. I am currently using an Evh lunchbox 2 and tired of tap dancing with pedals. So, i would like to get a Pod. I tried a line 6 many moons ago and it seemed that without the amp models engaged it did not give me a great sound using my amp head. With this unit can i plug straight into the front of my amp happens to be an EVH minus using the amp model? And achieve a sound as if i was using the amp model would need this for live setting. Thanks you for your respone
Hi, Swg G. Yes, the POD Go is designed to be used for amp modeling, effects, or both. If you want to use it for just effects, you can absolutely do that. That being said, there are some effects that are likely going to sound better in the effects loop of that amp, so you'll probably want to do the 4-cable method so you can run certain effects in front of the amp, and other effects in the loop. Thanks for your interest!

Nice sound of the Line 6 Pod Go, especially with the Yamaha Revstar RS820. Is it possible to connect with the wireless guitar system?
Hey, Carlo. Thanks for reaching out. You can connect this to a wireless system. How you hook that up just depends on what your setup is. Feel free to reach out if I can help with any of that. Thanks!

Just multi-effects & wireless guitar system, that's it.
My only complaint about any of theses floor pedals - make a small wired or wireless remote that has the screen and controls that can be mounted on a mic stand. Who wants to bend down to make adjustments?
Can I connect a mobile phone with an aux cable and use the pedal to control its volume?
I’ve been asking various sites that same question and no one is answering. I don’t see a dedicated Aux Jack but on the FX loop it says return/aux so I wonder if it is assignable?
It would help me to have aux in for certain gigs to run my in ears thru the board instead for better clarity.
But it annoys me a simple question is not answered.
Does this have a looper?
Under five hundred bucks. Not bad. Especially because line six has made it easier to navigate effects.
How can I add an MP3 player if it doesn't have AUX IN ?
THIS IS an standard for all as always Pod No1! the best machine at NAMM 2020 .
Does it have a tuner
No MIDI ports?
I recently bought HX Effects... maybe I should return it and get the Pod Go (?). Do you think this will do everything my HX Effects does ... and more? How can I compare before returning the HX Effects and getting this?
Steve Moore I’m asking myself the same question.
I would say yes and no. This seems like a dumb downed stomp. So it'll have amp models and effects but you can only use one type of delay,reverb or drive at a time. Your hx effects can run a lot more effects at once than this pod or the stomp. If you want amp models I'd look more into the stomp over this
great video but you should show the screen and knobs better
show screen properly
If you add two additional foot switches, can you run two additional effects?
Thanks for your question, Ryan. Hope you and yours are safe and well.
If you add footswitches via the EXP2 jack, you have more control over the effects, but you can't expand beyond the six blocks unless you connect an external effect to the FX loop jacks. Please contact me direct if I'm not answering your question accurately or fully.

Does it have looper?
Can I copy a preset from my helix and load it as a preset to the new Line 6 pedal?
Hi, Alan! That's a great question. According to Line 6, you'd be able to copy individual "blocks" (a single amp, effect, etc.) via the POD Go's software editor. However, you won't be able to copy & paste presets from a Helix or HX product onto the POD Go. Certain elements of the POD's routing are locked into place, for a more traditional signal chain that will feel familiar to people who are new to modeling. However, they use the same sound engine, so you can expect the same great Helix sounds you've come to know. Give me a call at the number below if you have any questions. Thanks for your interest!

What FRFR speaker are you using in this video? Thanks!
It appears to be the Line 6 Powercab.
Thanks, John!
@@jericks06 yup great FRFR to use for any modeler like this.
I’ll stick to my firehawk fx for now still
This is what is replacing both the FHFX and the HD500X and this will let you have snapshots which is a game changer so no more sound when you switch from patch to patch in mid song. same price point. and PC based editor instead of using the tablet/phone which is better for many folks.
I'm lost to advanced for me I'm so used to old school stuff
It has a bunch of amp and cab simulator bullshit
just bought this as my first pedal lol, hope it slaps, i play deathcore. excited to see how it sounds. 🎉❤
Once again, no VDI support for Line 6's own Variax guitars! Maybe some other company can support the Variax?
Mitch says "you have 6 different effects blocks into which you can load 6 different effects models." My understanding is that there are only 4 that aren't pre-determined by line 6. So is it 4 or 6?
David Eidelberg I’m wondering the same thing. It seems like the eq and looper might be permanent on each patch. I sure hope not. That would make me pass on this version.
Buddy: what looper? And yes, the eq is a block in every patch. You can leave it empty or flat of course. There are only 4 user selectable blocks.
David Eidelberg I meant eq and Wah. Not looper. Cheers
Hi, David. Great question! You are correct in that only four additional effects are able to be set by the user - the other two will be predetermined. Line 6 goes into more specific detail below:

Sweetwater Macbook pro can do that?
Here's an question issue I have with all these multi-effects pedals. From what I can tell, they are all missing the "global" functionality. That is, I want to create one amp and then be able to switch between different FXs. That would be perfect for me. Sure, you can duplicate a patch and add different FX, but that's not handy in a live situation. What happens when you get to the gig and you need to EQ/tweak the amp? You have to run through all your patches tweaking the amp setting for each? Oops. Now the volume of the patches seems different. What did I do? Ahhhh. That's just not practical for me. Along similar lines, does setting the tap tempo do it globally? Sometimes you want to shift patches during a song, but in my experience, most units like this will forget the tapped tempo when a patch is changed. If I'm wrong about this, please let me know! I use a Boss Katana and these are some of the frustrations I've experienced. Love the tones, but not being a player who has a "patch for every song," it can be frustrating.
At 5:19 he explains how to use global settings
it looks like you can't use 2 effects of the same category (reverbs, delays, amps...) on 1 preset, am I right?
Eric Delval HX stom can do that?
Bagus SW yes it can!
This, like the Firehawk has fuzzy undertones. That has put me off getting a Helix. I’m going to try a friends Helix to compare.
Yeah it's all the same crap.. Fizzy, thin and just generally digital sounding. Even dialed in to it's best, it's still not great.
Get yourself a Studio Devil Amplifier 6. It's the most organic sounding modeler out there.
Also try the Headrush as well.
John Smith some really picky people
In this world and it seems to really only be older guys. I had the hx stomp and it was perfect for me. People seem to dig waaaaaaay too deep into stuff. Buy it and enjoy it, or don’t buy it and enjoy your trusty analog setup
I have the boss ME-70 and am looking for something with more.. idk umpf? Is this a good choice?
Hi, Jorge. I would expect the POD GO to be a nice improvement over the ME70. If you can step up to the Helix LT you'd get even better results but if budget only allows for the POD, you'll still be happy you did that.
Thanks for your interest!
Charlie Davis, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1320, charlie_davis@sweetwater.com
@@sweetwater went with the LT, i don’t know how to use it just yet but man i can see it was way beyond worth it already!
looks like helix lt.. but even more lt... looks like an entry level product for the many cheap amp modellers that have been coming out... at $450USD, this is definitely a worthy option.
Does it allow your own IRS
3rd-party IR support
A guitar cab and its speakers account for roughly 33% of a total guitar sound (guitar & pedals + amp + cab = sound). Thankfully, the POD Go gives you room grow. Support for third-party guitar cabinet impulse responses (IRs) means you can drop in all your favorite closed- and open-backs with whatever speaker combinations you can imagine. And with the leaps and bounds today's IR manufacturers are making in cab tones, this one feature more or less ensures the Line 6 POD Go a permanent place in your rig. (copied from Sweetwater website)
Can I use an acoustic guitar for this?
Yep
Is it possible to turn off the amp modeler if you don't need it?
Thanks for your message, hope you're well and safe.
Yes, it is possible to bypass the amp and cab sims in the PODGo per preset. There is no global option.
Please contact us direct with other questions as you have them!

Is this fully midi compliant ?
Hi, Christopher. The new POD Go does not have any MIDI connectivity, but it will allow third party IR's. Thanks for your interest!
Charlie Davis, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1320, charlie_davis@sweetwater.com
Why call it a "Pod", ??, It's a HX FX bred with HX stomp + expression pedal. I like that it fills the gap between the LT and the stomp but i don't like it's association with the Pod, just my humble opinion ...Anyhoo's I'm sure it will be another winner for Line 6.
I agree. First thing I thought when I saw the name is that it's maybe using the old XT/POD Farm models because of the POD name tag.
Cause they wanted to have something from the past with the guts and engine under the hood....
NO, this video doesn't make it apparant but this is a LESS tweakable and misses some effects because it doesn't have enough processing power. I'd recommend watching other videos or checking line6's website. it's a simplified helix, for example you can use only 1ir block while on the helix you can blend how much you want.
It's funny, I thought something similar. I've been thinking about getting a Helix LT and this looks like a nice, cheaper, alternative. But, as silly as it sounds, the "pod" portion is throwing me off.
@Em Alaihem Exactly...
Does pod go have a setlist method?
Hi, R U I T A R. There isn't a specific set list mode on the POD Go, but it is still very easy to program for your set lists. Since the POD has hundreds of available presets, you can save all the sounds you need for your songs. And then either through the physical unit or using the POD Go Edit app, you can easily arrange those presets into the order you need.
Thanks for your interest!

All these multi effects pedals need VST integration capability
Look up Helix Native. It's a plugin version of all these HX effects. Might be what you're looking for.
If I have a helix lt is there any point in getting this?
No
Idle Hands yeah, that was my feeling
Can this be ran into a 4x12 for gigs?
Great question and thanks for your interest! Yes, but what else you need depends on the cabinet. If the cabinet is powered and has a line input, you can go straight in from the POD Go without any additional equipment. If it’s a more traditional guitar cabinet that requires a powered signal, you would either need to run an external power amp in between the POD and the cab, or you could run the POD output in to the return of the FX loop on an amp head to use just it’s power amp section to power the cabinet. There are external power amps formatted to fit on a pedalboard for exactly this kind of situation, like the Seymour Duncan PowerStage amps.
I hope this helps!

No looper on this then?🤔
What guitar is he playing?
Yamaha Revstar
A review of the Pod Go with Humbuckers, God bless you all
So.... why is the HX Stomp more expensive?
it has ALL features of the helix line (except the 6 block limit), this one doesn't (i don't know the details, but i guess this has just standard amp controls etc) and some other power user options, for example it can use only 1ir block and 4 distortion/dynamics blocks) and misses around 3 fx because it doesnt have enough processing power. this is like a simplified helix
The HX stomp and Pod go is practically the same price in Europe (at Thomann)
@@Stefan- my guess is because it just came out, in the next few months the price will go down about 50euros. (450 is the street price according to line6). but still... for 50 euros more, the hx stomp is a better choice for me, especially since the amount of blocks will be raised to 8.
@@usta028 where did you read that the amount of blocks will be raised to 8?
DCT Master where are you getting $50 more from? The stomp is $150-$200 more than the pod go
Does this have a looper in it?
of course
yuu dee thanks. I’m new to the whole guitar processor and multi effects world but want something affordable that does amp modeling and effects such as a looper and delay :)
I was expecting to hear the GO means "Battery Powered" I have the Helix and the HX Stop and would buy this too IF it can operate on battery.
Sorry I don’t put circuit boards on the floor for the cats to piss on. Does this come in a rack?
Does anybody have some advice? I'm trying to decide between this and the HD500x. What would you get and why?
Pod HD500x has slightly more slightly more variable routing, slightly more I/O, more footswitches, and better midi out control. Pod Go has better sounding models, IR support, snapshots, and a smaller footprint. Personally I'd go for the Pod Go unless you need to be able to send midi (other than pc messages) or need a mic input or variax input.
Does the PODGo has an onboard looper to loop sound coming from guitar at anytime
Is it possible to wet-dry on L R output?
Hello, J-Project. Thanks for your inquiry. Hope you're safe and well. The POD Go doesn't have a mixer like its Helix and HX siblings, so there's no way to pan a signal to one side or the other. Depending on how you set up the signal path and global routing, you could take a pre time domain (modulation/delay/reverb) out from the FX Loop and feed that to an amp while also sending an out from the mains. Not quite how it was designed to be used, but it's possible. Please contact me direct if I'm not understanding your question completely.

@@sweetwater ok, thx a lot, it helps👍
Why the clicky foot switches!! I hate this about a lot of pedals. if I'm trying to mic up my amplifier in a small room I can't have the sound of clicking on switches in the recording.
Are the sounds any better than what is in the Firehawk?
Yes, these are the same amp models that are in the big brother Helix. Don't let the POD name fool you. I wish they had stayed away from the POD name because people associate the POD with low quality multi-effects from a long time ago. I think the reason they went with the POD name is because PODS are also known for being simple to use and more of a plug and play style product. Less flexibility, but easier to use.
HX amps and effects.
Way better!
yes this is the Helix engine. The FHFX was based on the engine of the PodHD500x so yes this will be better and open up more options for you with less limitations (somewhat) than the FHFX. I had the FHFX and upgraded to the Helix LT a few months ago but this would have been perfect for me if it came out before I got the LT.
I just wish it had an XLR out.
Having a camera pointed at the Pod's screen would have really helped. "See these arrows?" No, I can't.
Are you by any chance related to Rory Gallagher?
Should of had auxiliary in
The POD Go has a USB outlet on the back; does it have a built-in interface that can go straight to my MacBook and record in Garage Band?
Hi, Ronald. Great question! The USB Output on the Pod GO can be used as an interface to record into your computer. If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out. Thanks!

Only 6 effects blocks? HX Effects has 9
Why is my HX Effects more expensive when it doesn't have any of the amp and cab sims from Helix? I think we need an explanation here 🤣
I have a HX Effects too and would say it's far superior to this. Faster processor and sounds better. If you want amp and cab sims get a Helix. Bear in mind the HX Effects is a couple of years old now and technology has advanced since then, that's how this packs more features but to me doesn't sound as good as the HX. 👍🏻😁
Only 6 effects blocks on this, HX has 9 plus you can add in parallel to the effects chain.
Helix based processor. The HX Stomp is more expensive (and capable) for the same reason.
thanks guys! i guess we're still good then. 😅 cheers!
why not MIDI in/out!?
Cost. Line 6 addressed this in FAQs. Basically if you're wondering why any feature isn't included, the answer is to make the board affordable.
Does it have loop mode?
Yes it does.
@@kean10c thanks bro!
Maybe it’s just the recoding but it doesn’t sound that good to me.
Maybe it’s because your just hearing on the speakers on your phone. Dunno.
Does it have built in looper?
Hey, Anthony! Yes, it has a 40 second looper (20 seconds if you're using stereo). When you're in looper mode you have six switches which allow you to record, stop, playback, and undo. The extra cool features include a switch that lets you playback at full speed or half speed, a reverse switch to play it backwards, and a 'single playback' switch that lets you play the loop just once instead of looping continuously. Let me know if you have any questions!
