WILL IT... do metal really good? Or really bad?
Can you make a video with the pod xt live they have midi using as a controller or make a good sound for metal with the xt live
It does. You must update the firmware to get access to the Revv purple, that's my favorite one. Hey how can I find your IR?
in the room?
Sounds mostly shit
Trim yer mustache your riffs will be better :)
Sounds great and that's what's important.
It took a long time for me to start ignoring the familiar sayings:
Doesn't sounds real
Pushing air
Kemper is better
Amp is better
What you need is to find the best sound to suit your needs, and use it.
Don't say "it doesn't sound like a 5150" etc, but just find the best tone for yourself and USE IT!
The crowed doesn't say "ah, it sounds like a plexi", all they hear is noise anyways.
imo that's a matter of personal useage. for pretty much every professional application, especially live, modern modellers are absolutely perfect, and ignoring the familiar sayings is absolutely valid.
but nothing is ever as fun as sitting in front of a real amp with a real cab. imo tube amps are for personal enjoyment these days. i don't walk away from my friend's kemper smiling ear to ear, but i do walk away from my blackmore and laney 412 grinning like an idiot. depends on what you're looking for.
The thing about guitarrists is that most of the time we choose de sound for two reasons: how it sounds with everyone else playing at the same time and how it sounds to ourselves as we play it. So, yeah, tone is definely not that important to the crowd, but It is for ourselves. It help us feel comfortable playing. Thing is: I do feel that I play better when I'm using my usual gear or something that sound as good or better then when I'm playing with something entry-level, because when it doesn't sounds right, it's distracting.
The most interesting part is that most people complaining the modellers don't sound like the "real thing" never actually played the real thing....B. Marsden used to laugh with all the guys mentioning how this or that Les Paul doesn't sound like the real 59' and he always responded: "Ok....how many originals have YOU played???? Cos I played a few.... :) " And the usual response was 0...
Arguably though an audience can hear the difference if you play better when having more fun and sadly having more fun with a cranked tube amp is basically a thing of the past for all but the most popular acts who can afford to bully their way into a venue with whatever kit they want.
Love this conversation because there's so much truth to it. The modelers are just awesome in the studio and work so well on stage for going to FOH. But yea, at the end of the day.... nothing will ever feel like standing in front of tubes while pushing a few feet of drivers.
I recently lost all my gear in a house fire, and I ended up getting the POD Go as a quick and dirty replacement for all the pedals, rack gear, and computer/amp sims I lost in the fire. This unit works spectacular as a stompbox/fly rig in front of an amp with the cab sims disabled. It's definitely not a replacement for a good amp sim for recording, but as an all-in-one unit for gigging with a amp, it's great.
Hey, may I ask how things are going 3 years after the fire? I'm truly sorry for everything you've lost.
@retrakor Not too bad, I've re-aquired some decent gear since. Some friends hooked me up with a couple guitars as well.
@@mattcallaway7164 dang that sucks to hear, but im glad you actually got some stuff to replace it. hope everythings going well currently. God bless
I don't know why but Ola has become my favourite UA-cam guitarist. He seems as genuine as they come and doesn't seem to pander to that masses.
That's probably why ;)
Every time I hear that More Than Ever riff, it brings a chill down my spine. I enjoy your vids a lot Ola. 🤘🏻
Really appreciate it when people demo amp modelers acting as a preamp thru an fx loop of an actual amp. Great job, Ola!!!
I’m getting one, and buying a small tube amp and will do 4 cable method. It sounds cool, I liked line 6 because of the fx, but i won’t use this for really the amps, I kinda like it.
ughhh i searched this like a couple of hours ago and then you upload this. YOU THE BEST
i was literally waiting for your review since this thing launched.
Dude, that sounds really good! I’ve always liked the Line 6 tones and still have my HD500. (Had the XT Live many years ago).
Sounds awesome!
Great piece of gear!
Great riffs too!
Cheers from Portugal 🍺🤘
This is a Helix LT lite rather than a POD series gear.
This is the 2nd peice of gear I've bought after seeing your videos. Always honest and informative 🤘🤘
Omg! Great video. The MGS reference when the door was opened though!!🤣🤣🤣
Will it chug?:
-Reverse flying V
-Marshall MS-2
-Korg Miku Stomp
Korg miku chuggiest of them all
Add Electro Harmonix Nano Green Russian reissue as well.

I picked up a Pod Go to use for some of my covers on my channel. I love it, the tones you can dial in are pretty sweet for a $450 rig.
Sounds so good I just ordered one thanks Ola!
Thanks Ola, this is exactly what I was looking for.
I got mine back in late April, and really like it so far. They do sound tighter when you put an overdrive pedal block in front of the amp (just like you would a real amp). It does take some tweaking, but you can get a decent sound out of it. And it does record well thru the USB. I posted my own demo of it, and I think it really sounds great.
uuh was thinking buying this!, thanks ola du sve jävlär
Your studio set up is fucking amazing bro!!!
Great review! Awesome metal sound!
Ok..That thing sounds AWESOME!!! Especially with the 3rd paerty IR's.
1:54 "and then I have my own " 😂🤘🏻
I have a Pod Go as well. Love it!
Excited about my purchase waiting for it to arrive home. This video sold me on purchasing it. I’ll have to download your impulse and a few from my friends.
I really like the sound and functionality of the pod go,it sounds great on my mesa 295 stereo simul class poweramp.also what made me decide to buy the pod go is the Amp out.so i use one cab in the Middle for my dry sound and then the left and right on the mesa and this is the setup i wanted for years🎼🎶🎶🤘
What a great time to be a guitar player. I would have killed for anything even close to sounding this good and that was this portable when I was learning.
Back then there was basically no middle ground between a Peavey Bandit and a full price too-loud-for-the-house professional tube amp.
The Pod Go's built-in IRs are really bad though hah.
I was waiting for this video 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
good honest quick review , I still want to try it for my self.
Hey I think there's something wrong with the preset download you offer for the pod go. Whenever I install it, my pod go tells me the IR associated with this patch cannot be found in the library. I thought it would auto install the IR, but it isn't.
If you didnt find a solution i ran into the same problem, just update with Line 6 central app
When will you have Coffee with Chuck Billy of Testament?
or better: Alex Skolnick
or better: Dean Lamb
Chuck Billy should bring one of those coffee mugs with a weed pipe built into it for his episode. 😂
Or Paul Davids?
Here is some he should do coffee with. Aishoku Aisaka of Myukokei Line, Atsushi Yokozeki Of Kinniku Shoujo Tai (since 1988-1989), and Daron Malakian Of System Of A Down
I love my pod go. You get a whole lot more than your paying for with it. Probably the best purchase I’ve made in a damn long time. With the pod go edit you can really get deep into it. It’s crazy. Only bd thing I can say about it is that when updating the firmware, be really careful. I turned mine into a brick for about 2 hours after I got it. But luckily I figured out how to get it to boot up. Other than that it’s highly worth buying.
Also tweeking the global settings for high and low cuts make a lot of difference in the presets. Makes it sound more authentic
Best comment ever
Hmmm, I have been looking for something like this, thanks Ola! 🤘
Just got mine. Impressed so far.
Just like you said, add a 3rd party IR, and it takes the Pod Go to the next level. Sounds amazing (..and I'm a Kemper guy!) I think it sounded GREAT once you kicked in your IR. Rediculous amount of value and capability. Nice work!
What's a IR? sorry I'm ignorant of it.
@@lequitakeen1957 Impulse Response...It affects your tone & feel by about 50-80 %...The better the "IR" the more real feeling it sounds..more convincing..Ola speaks of this in great detail in this video..
Im trying to get PodGo to work with my tubeamp, its difficult to make it sound good. Gotta read more i guess
My favourite guitar UA-cam channel
I like learning about the computer stuff, it’s like new territory for me and that guitar is sweet
It sounds really nice from here. Damn good actually.🤘🤘🤘🤘. I should of watched till the end. It's your IR that made it sound great.
This video is a good example of why I stopped using modelers. I was spending so much time toggling back and forth between models and settings that I was spending more time tweaking than playing - always lookign for somethign that sounded just a tiny bit better. Give me a quality real tube amp with one or two great sounds any day over this infinite variability and option paralysis.
I got a good sound out of this in a single sitting, whereas I've owned a Mesa dual rec for years and still am not happy with how it sounds. It depends highly on the player, and your know-how.
I think the Rev sounded best with your IR. Line 6 has always had weak IRs but amazing fx. I’d love to get your cab sound if it’s available.
That's essentially what I do ,I just use my krank distortion with no amps no cabs and use some gates and the comps along with a real noise gate and an eq into the front of the amp with the 4 cable method , with modeling side it took me a couple years of tweaking to get a passable sound there are a lot of little tips and tricks with pod stuff to get passable sounds, res control at 0 and a pre/amp setup has really given me some good results sounds even better through the return of my krank
I'm not super knowledgeable on tones and stuff, but to me some of those standard impulse responses sound great! For the price and for someone just starting out, I'm pretty into this and I'm considering picking one up. Thanks for the video Ola, even if I'm a bit late to it
Haha yes, all of those cabs sounded very good and actually noticeably different from each other. Guess Ola was going for a different sound
Was debating on buying this, but I waited to hear your words on it. Finally!
Yes I was seriously thinking about getting this instead of having to lug around gear especially since it's so expensive to ship from state to state..
2:01 - "0LA Olas Balls" Amazing.
As soon as you plugged into the real cab, it’s like all the stars just aligned. Those built in IR’s were 😖.
Agreed, especially when Ola do the gallop picking. Tight and pleasant.
I was choking on my water when that fart sound effect popped out of nowhere lmao
If I played live or with other people at all, I would totally pick this up. But I only play at my desk a the moment. Maybe some day I'll pick this up! 😊
6:00 you hit one of the main weaknesses in the Helix/POD line of products. (BTW, this is the new POD, not the new Helix, which makes it a huge upgrade for PODs to carry Helix software and limited features.) The cabs are models, not impulse response recordings, and they all sound a little "off". I used stock cabs for 2yrs before buying the OH core bundle, and it changed the whole device for me.
Ola rules !!! Thanks man!
Ive found the ir's on the unit need lots of EQ, particularly when using high gain - i think they could have done better. Crunch and cleans are pretty good. Still very happy with the unit, the effects are amazing in stereo and the functionality is great.
Even Ola’s “shitty riffs” sound way better than my best 🤦♂️😆😆. @Ola Englund, thanks for doing this video man! You kick ass!
I sold my kemper stage for the pod go.
It provides me with everything i need
and in the band mix nobody hears the difference to the high end modelers
The Best intro of the world !
Bro, you're getting to one mil. I'm calling it.
Hi there ola been catching your show for about a year now and i gotta say the way u do your channel is very fresh and funny,but educational with all the tech and instruments you discuss.getting to the point, i dont know if you ever showcased the rocktron widowmaker as it could have been earlier and i missed it, i know this unit has been out for some time now so if you have done so i apologize, and if you haven't i would definitely like to see your spin on it as you really know how to put preamps through their paces to show the pro's and cons,sorry to ramble on, just a big fan keep up the good work brother
I got to go to an Open House that Line 6 did. Part of the tour you go past the hall of Amps. They have some awesome amps that they Model. I got stuck in there just looking at all the amps that they have. I was really Impressed with there setup and Engineering dept.
Noice, just got mine today!
What have we learned? That that mic on that cab is incredible.
This is great, as a drummer who also likes to write, I already spend too much on drum gear, so spending a ton on guitar gear is silly. I need something like this just to make music on my own.
Thanks for the video and helping me in my decision making process 🤘🤘
Your mesa IR sounds insanely good
Line 6 is still behind the times when it comes to cabinet simulation... even on the Helix I didn't think it was great.
Hello man! You've mentioned your IRs - what IRs are you using? :)
Become an Ola member and find out!!
Probably his Hesu cab.
Havent played electric since the Vamp came out...They deff came a long way with the tech. They meaning in general
That IR you have sounds killer! Is it the same Hesu 2x12 IR you had on the Headrush site a while back?
Diggin your Doom shirt. I'm a huge Doom fan myself
I really liked using the Bogner Uber Cab IR from Rosen Digital/Lancaster Audio with the Revv Generator Red amp model with the Pod Go.
THE BEST OLA......OLA THE MAN!!!
Yep ola your right ….I have both headrush and pod go ..,headrush fir metal is just killer …your patch fir headrush is awesome I use it all the time
Love my POD Go
Good stuff thank you - your awsome!! Can you please do a tutorial on what this setup is that your getting your sound. Is it from studio speakers with you Line 6 Pod Go plugged directly in - would like to see the routing of your cables and any type of interfaces you have going - Cheers !!
Thanks Ola 🔥 Yeah Line 6 should definitely work on their Impulse Responses. Otherwise great stuff
Hey Ola, try using the noise gate that's on the input. I think it works better, and saves a block. 🤘
i really want to know if ola grew up with hip hop how his life would be as a producer making beats on mpc2000xl and old samplers like a king
Hey ola, greetings from canada. Good video. My question to you is, when you ola use a head and cabinet, its seems you use the fortin 4x12 cabinet, instead of the mesa cabinet 4x12. Do you prefer the fortin over the mesa. Im looking for the best sounding cabinet, what do you think. See ya, eh.
The trick with the stock cabs is to use the hi and lo pass filter to recreate the response of a true cab. There's not much effort if You know that trick. A Mesa cab won't have a full range 0 to 20k response. Obviously commercial IRs are fuckin' amazing but You absolutely CAN make the stock cabs sound good.
Like the Evergrey riff🤘🏻
Ola does Evergrey, love it!
I've always had to cut high/ low gain on the stock cabs to get them to sound decent on the Helix.
Switched to OwnHammer Mesa 4x12 impulse. never lookin back
Evergrey.....I love it when you go full Swede.
More Than Ever ❤️
Evergrey 🤘😎🤘❤️
Spearfast wrong
Spearfast I don’t really care what you think and I’m not a teen moron
Awesome
I just bought one of these and right before I did I went to see if you had a video on it lol
11:38 Ola always paying attention to details 😂👌
that guitar is sick
Line 6 is getting better
Damn that sounds sweet @1:40 !
I've got the HX Stomp and along with it I use IR's from Celestion themselves and it sounds phenomenal! This is the realest guitar tone and closest I have ever heard to a real amp. The celestion IR's are made of insane quality and you really should check them out. They have sound samples for every IR so you always know how the characteristic of the sound is gonna be like. Note that all of the Helix family members (:D) use the exact same sounds so the pod go and hx stomp use the exact same sounds as the Helix and Helix LT. Ignore the standard cabs, the amps are insane and paired with high quality IR's you will be definitely satisfied after spending some time tweaking it.
Hi! CAN i Ask wich ir celestion you use for metal? If you play metal... thank you
@@danyroy-robert7544 I dont really play metal but for punk rock and post hardcore I really love the V30. Also the Surh V30 is probably sounding really great for metal but you should check out their site because they have sound samples for every single speaker.
@@danyroy-robert7544 The Orange V30 tho would probably be a great choice aswell.
Hendrik Seeger thank you !
@Ola Englund, the IR you loaded in this video is available for purchase on your site? Would like to give it a test with my Pod Go! Thanks!
Thanks for this video ;)
awesome!
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
great comment
please, what is FRFR ???
Ola's IRs rule them all
Is that the same GUI (I love that GUI) as you get with a Helix or is this unique for this Line 6 unit?
Hey Ola, can you make your own Mesa Oversized 4x12 IR you are using in this video available or buyable? Would be great thx!
Just recently picked this up and you're right. The included cab IR's do suck.
What a nice multi pedal I just got one last week .
I literally choked laughing at the beginning😂😂
Just got the POD Go. Was getting same error with Revv Purple as well as with other modules/pedals. Firmware update did solve it.
I just bought one, due to your video, Ola. You should get sales commissions from Line 6.
Dunno man, I'm a Helix user, and I always thought: maybe I have to buy a Kemper or something... until this monday. My band mate got a Kemper stage, and after playing together with him, and also playing through his Kemper, great sounding device definitely.... but I realized I like my Helix every bit as much as that Kemper, so I personally was REALLY happy with that outcome 😂😂 I mean I do think, Fractal and Kemper stuff sounds better out of the box, but with some good IRs and a bit of tweaking you can actually get a just as good sound out of the Helix =P
Agreed. I think they're so damn close. I drive myself nuts comparing them all, dont even know why
I’ve wish the Helix was easier to program. On the surface it’s really easy, but I have a hard time getting that same wide open tone I get from pedals and a tube amp...it always sounds like a professional recording of a good tone. I’ve heard people get that killer tone, it just takes too much tweaking for my taste.
Jared Burdick Yeah I do understand that, I have my Helix for 3 years now, and it took a lot of tweaking, but the thing is, I always chose things that are difficult 😂😂 my favorite amp of all time is a Rectifier, now the first time I got to plug into a real Recto, I was SO disappointed because it sounded like ass, I did not know, that you really have to spend time with it and it's a didficult amp to dial in 😂😂 But I understand, live I always use a power amp and my ENGL or Marshall 4x12, been thinking about going direct, but I still love the sound of a real cab on stage 😂
Hi Ola, How did you connect it up to your amp? Was it 4 cable method or something else? I'm trying to figure out the best way to use it with a JVM 410 and still be able to use the amps own tones while putting effects (Overdrive etc) before the amp and modulation after. Love your work! Cheers
im just guessing... but i think its the return in the back of the amp ....so left mono out from pod go to amp return... that's how i run mine...and i use the preamp like he did instead of the full blown amp...otherwise its the 4 cable method
