PodGo user here. The first thing I've noticed when trying the new cabs in that the response is very very similar to real cabinets. Like Damned! This sounds reaally good!
Love Line6. This new update fixes everything I thought was missing in the Pod Go. How lucky am I to have a Helix and a Pod Go wireless 😊 Thank you, Steve 👍 Yes, more, please 😮
100% agree with you on hating going through IR packs.... With the new cabs and mic placement options I feel like I can dial in a sound I like in minutes on any amp.
Im glad I watched this. I didnt update the Pod go EDIT- and it wont connect…. BOOM. Issue fixed and the new cabs rock! 😂. Love your tele w the Rotary & Chorus! Cheers🍁🍂
Indeed they do Steve. However, keep sending the PodGo love. Other UA-camrs PodGo shame us🤣. Would love to see video of you gigging the PodGo@@SteveSterlacci
Very clever timing, blk nvmbr and stuff...this def puts the pod go back on top of the list for my portable road rig. Bte just recently discovered your channel, love it
The Boss OC-2 which is emulated in the "Boctaver" isnt a bass octaver like you said its for both guitar and bass, i have the actual stomp box myself since the 80´s and have used it both on guitar and bass but mostly on guitar and i think its great effect to beef up the tone in for example an intro with just solo guitar.
A Pog GO is essentially the same price at the HX One with a good expression pedal. Kind of a no brainer if you're looking for the cheapest bang for your buck and you can't afford/find a used HX Stomp/Stomp XL
Thanks to you I’m trying out the Pod-Go for my next live gig. I’m very interested in using the expression pedal too. With all my downsizing it’s ironic I’m replacing my Helix Floor because it’s too big and heavy 😂
I would definitely switch from the ampero stomp 2 to one of these. Only problem I still have with the pod go is that the signal chain is very limited. The ampero has much more flexibility in that area
@@SteveSterlacci lol, i guess I was thinking a preset build video with that model. I'm working on parameter changes and/or snapshots to get a versatile patch with clean, crunch, lead, ambient and not need a drive pedal.
It's definitely a good update, for sure. I always wanted to vibe with the Pod Go, but the stock cabs really left a lot to be desired. The sound effects that they added are alright, I certainly think you can get carried away with almost any of the chorus type of facts and make it sound really bad really quick. A little seems to go a long way. Also, more fuzz is always welcome when you're trying to play jimmy.
I am looking at getting a multi FX pedal to use with my tone master deluxe reverb. But also as well plug in with headphones at night... i am looking at this and the boss GX-100 what would you prefer and why.
Ive never spent a lot of time with the newer boss stuff, but the pod go sounds every bit as good as the flagship helix within its restrictions. I think pod go is the best bang for buck unit
@@SteveSterlacci i watched a few vids on the hx stomp and a few of the people preferred the pod go in them as well.. i had the boss me70 years ago and liked it but i know how boss is with updates on there flagship stuff and helix has been updating the pod go since it came out...
Hi STEVE , i wonder how are the FOOTSWITCHES on your HX STOMP / XLs holding up? 🙄🙄 i read a lot about people having problems / malfunctioning - where you have to press them twice to trigger the function youve selected... thanks, Alex.
@@SteveSterlacci thanks !! Good to know ! Weird thing is I now tried the 2nd Stomp XL that had this problem -> if I assign Snapshot1 to the left lower footswitch (usually Bank down) It doesn’t work correctly every other time. If I assign a stomp on/off to the same footswitch it works flawlessly. 🧐 But thanks for getting back to me ! 🙂
I would like a HIwatt cab in the new engine. Hiwatt cabs usually sound a little different (at least in all the sims I've tried) and it's was interesting to try a Hiwatt cab with a Marshall or whatever. I've never played through a real Hiwatt amp/cab, but I'm guessing the real sound of Hiwatt head is closer with a Hiwatt cab.
I am having problems with this update. I downloaded the install files and backed up, installed 2.0 but had to reinstall all of the IR's for acoustic pre-sets when I reloaded them Later whilst rehearsing the display kept changing between modes with the effects buttons flashing in and out of the display. Very disconcerting if this had been happening at a gig. I will reset and revert to the earlier version if this continues
That’s a hardware thing. Open it up (unplugged please) if c124 has no component then yes it’s fixed. If not contact L6 and they will service it for you.
My pod go kept locking up. Not reliable enough for me. Customer support was lacking. Just told me to reset, then next time reset. Got old and they could not work out the bugs. DONT RELEASE UNTIL THE BUGS ARE WORKED OU!
How can i play a backing track on this thing from a mobile device? Anyone got an easy solution that allows volume control of the audio going in and is in stereo via headphones?
@AH-hc5rm thats an interesting question. I dont see why you couldn't, but idk of any programs that would let it work how you're asking. Id ask in the facebook group. Theres some clever cats in there
@SteveSterlacci thanks for the info. Thats why i still use my firehawk sometimes. Can just connect via bluetooth., so easy. Kind of surprised they didnt add that option in the helix/pod go stuff.
I use my iPad through the effects loop. Use the return/auxiliary with a stereo cable into the headphone jack of the iPad. You have to enable the auxiliary in the settings first. I control the volume of the backing track with my iPad. I can play to anything on UA-cam. Hope this helps.
I would swap all this update for Poly Detune,since I loaded with IR my POD Go,no big deal for me with the new cab system. But i guess Detune is too power hungry and would not work.
If you haven't updated to 2.0 , DEFINITELY do it offline with a download of both the 2.0 update AND the Line 6 Updater !!!! When you have both downloaded , run the updater and it will walk you through everything else.
Short answer, yes. We can get into a lengthy argument for both sides. If I make the IRs how I want them, then great, but sifting through packs of hundreds to find my sound, vs just physically doing it, always wins out for me
@@SteveSterlacciThanks I know That but scenes are limited before 2.0 the gap was almost nothing after 2.0 its a very disturbing fade in. But I have the backup ;)
It is crazy how line 6 sells all these different pedals/modelers and you can never plug one in and go through factory presets and say wow! It is always, these sound terrible! I have dialed in a couple but dam what a waste of guitar practice time! I did finally figure out how to fix this though.. I bought a Boss Katana! I have 4 presets and all I do is play guitar! I have $1000’s worth of line 6 gear, I just wish you didn’t need an engineering degree to figure out how to make 4 basic all around good sounding tones!
I'll never defend the factory presets lol but at least the newer additions sound decent pulled up stock without touching settings. Its easy to build your own sound
@@SteveSterlacci just think how much more they would sell if you could be happy with a few of the factory presets! Blows my mind about their equipment! Nice video, thank you!!
I should have bought the Mooer GE300, they are competent in software and hardware. Pod Go sucks. Pod Go is garbage. Don't buy Pod Go. Firmware Update Failed An error has occurred. Please try again.

Holy shit. This is my jam. Being stuffing around with an old RP500 digitech and enjoying it. But that sounds next level!
Appreciate all your content brotha ❤
Uploaded the 2.0 to my Pod Go and the new amps and pedals are awesome!!
Huge update!

Glad I warned ya 🤣🤣🤣
@@SteveSterlacci 😛😂.
Thanks Steve. Love all your content but more PodGo content would be much appreciated. Keep it up.
Thanks Craig! 99% of the helix and hx vids do cross over. But I definitely owe pod go some more attention
Indeed they do Steve. However, keep sending the PodGo love. Other UA-camrs PodGo shame us🤣. Would love to see video of you gigging the PodGo@@SteveSterlacci
@@craiger951 I'll see what I can do! Lol
Read the freaking thing instead of asking me... 😂 As a long-time IT worker, this cracked me up.
I hope that came across as humorous, but also, really. 🤣🤣🤣

Adds “Ball” to the tele. I agree.
Singular ball
That flexovibe sounds great! Nice review Steve!
Thanks for checking it out!
Nice video and demo Steve! I noticed bugs when I first updated, with the noise gate or limitor, though these went away
Thanks for checking it out! Glad the bugs are squashed
It sounds great Steve!
Its a sick update! Thanks for watching
Wow, good Job done, Line6, to Pod Go.😊
Heck yeah! I love my PodGo
It's great!
6:20 can you go a little bit slowly so I'll learn this run you doing right there please 🙏🏾
I would definitely switch from the ampero stomp 2 to one of these. Only problem I still have with the pod go is that the signal chain is very limited. The ampero has much more flexibility in that area
Yes its a bummer to be locked into the signal chain. But its all usable stuff at least
Do you have a guide how to cable up to amp?
Agree that IR packs are horrible to try to use. Bought one for my Floor, and that it - lesson learned.
Yep. I wish they came with 5 lol id pay the same price and be happier
@@SteveSterlacci YES! Exactly right. Still, no need for them now, so that's a win 🙂
Man, please post more POD GO content!
Unreal update!
I think its every bit as capable as all the major modelers now. Just the limitations slow it down
I am so excited to get the sunn t amp models
Thanks for the upload! I've been waiting/hoping for an update for a while! Can't wait to check it out!
Man you're gonna have a blast! This one is HUGE
MORE POD GO CONTENT !
My line 6 pod go display is not working. Give some tips to fix the problem 😢😢
IS this just a Pod-Go update or the entire Helix line update???
Still got years before they even get close to a real valve amp. But good video
Awesome!
Thank you really cool !
This thing kills!
Would love your take on the GrammaticoGSG and how to get the most out of it with clean and dirty channels.
You arent gonna like when I get to that part of the vid 😅
@@SteveSterlacci lol, i guess I was thinking a preset build video with that model. I'm working on parameter changes and/or snapshots to get a versatile patch with clean, crunch, lead, ambient and not need a drive pedal.
@@ryanalban you can def do that with grammatico! Im gonna spend some time with it and see how I get on with it a second pass
Dear Steve, great demo ! Btw what headphones are you wearing?
Audio technica M50X or whatever they're called 😅
It's definitely a good update, for sure. I always wanted to vibe with the Pod Go, but the stock cabs really left a lot to be desired.

Did they finally get rid of the gap when changing patches?
Nope.

Ive never spent a lot of time with the newer boss stuff, but the pod go sounds every bit as good as the flagship helix within its restrictions. I think pod go is the best bang for buck unit
Also worth noting, you should consider the pod go into an amp won't be as effective as an hx stomp

Did you perform the factory reset, then re install your backup?
is your cab off during the Rotary demo?
No. And its not supposed to. It takes on a kind of mod effect as per the description. It's def an interesting and "its own thing" sound
My PodGo Wireless did not reboot properly after update. It Frozen after restart though I Stick to the routine. Any suggestion to do factory reset?
Try the factory reset again and reboot
@@SteveSterlacci Tried every Button combination, no success😭
@@bassmanchristian1431 I would write L6 support then and see what they can do. They'd be more helpful than I can be
@@SteveSterlacci already opened Ticket but no reply yet. Otherwise I will rely on warranty by Thomann

So Pod Go got the Helix update?
Close/similar/ish
nothing about pod go input impedance issues in the update?
