I just played a show with this live, but with a different setup. Pod Go>power amp>cab. The sound guy did his job just as if I was using a normal amp, no issues. All bands played through Darkest Hour’s EVH cabs and all we did was move one cable from band to band. One of the fastest, cleanest shows and everyone sounded great.

Two years later and this is still the best overview of the features I've found!

You got that unit sounding wonderful! I’m a long time pod fan (I’ve had every version of their amp modelers from the red bean all the way through the Helix). They keep getting better with each release. I am very happy to see the POD Go sounding so great. Thanks for a great video.

Thanks for taking the time to make this Video, awesome guitar playing and information!

Thanks so much for making this video! Super helpful for a super noob\beginner like me. I just got the POD Go last week and it's my first pedal board so it was a little overwhelming at first but this video help me learn things about it that I didn't even know was in it! Thanks again, great video.

Hands down… this is the most useful review for this product. Thank you, sir!

I've had my Pod Go for about a year and some months, and just now have I circled back to it after watching videos on how to do certain things with it. This board takes just a little time to get used to how to control everything, but once you sort it all out I think it's one of the best multi-fx units you can get for the money. The Line6 community is MASSIVE, they have hundreds of free presets and IR's available on their forums or for sale through Line6. . Outside of getting a NeuralDSP QuadCortex, I have to say this is the next best thing nearly imo..

Amazing video as always, Max 👍 I got one of these units about a month ago too. It does everything I need it to really well.

Wow, outstanding job explaining POD Go use cases. I’ve had my unit for over a year and felt pretty familiar with it, but you showed me a few things I was not aware of. Plus our playing styles are very similar so I could relate to your points easier. Keep up the great content!

Great video!!!! In fact, I would love to see videos that "expand" on each of the 4 use cases! This was a great start and a few more details/thoughts/suggestions would be great too!

Thank you, this is more informative than 90% of the other videos I've watched to see if the Pod Go is what I should buy. And your music is nice too!

Great methodical review that hits all the key aspects with real world thoughts.

had to sub after this vid so good loved the tones and practical demo of this fun lil thing

What a great,useful video, thanks!

That was really well said. Thanks!

Your intention to help is greatly appreciated! Most detailed review/assist video I have ever seen!! Thank you!

Just what I needed....thank you sir!! :)

Great review! Thanks.

Love it! Toss mine in laptop case, carry on plane, DI box into the house if we are playing real venues. Worked amazing at the Whisky a Go Go and it’s even great at a local dive bar on Long Island.

I use a Line Helix rack for gigs with my band, i have my rack and mixer all in one case. so im looking for a bedroom/practice board that i can use some sounds with that will get me through what i need.. with your video you have convinced me the POD is a real alternative.. Great work

I run mine from main out directly into my headrush FRFR108 and XLR from that to the desk.

Nice, as usual . Good job. Every time I want a new device from your review , even if I don’t actually need it. Maybe next one from cheaper range ? Like valeton gp-100 ?

Great video Max. Regarding XLR outs, it is a budget pedal so I suppose they have to leave something to the higher end pedals. I love mine despite being a pedal / valve amp guy. I will be using it live in a trio where I do one electric set as I already have a pedalboard for my acoustic.

Thanks for the demo. I was surprised by your playing, you have mastered subtle melody and effects quite nicely. Metal guitar that doesn't easily fatique the listener, in other words.

Hey man, I've recently discover your channel, I love your videos, greetings from Mexico

had mine for a year and a bit and I love it. I also wish it had a metronome, but I use it with a Boss BR600 which gets me a drum machine and loop recording and playback the two are excellent together. BR600 was discontinued almost a decade ago, and are available very cheap used, but frankly, anybody's phone or ipod would also work for this, if they have a headphone jack.

This is really blooming good, dude :) - extremely useful

Great video man, thanks

FYI, even though it doesn't have XLR outs, the outputs ARE balanced, so same quality as XLR, if you use TRS cables, or TRS to XLR

Great video! thank you

Seriously thinking of getting rid of my TC Nova System and getting one of these... Thank you!

Great review! Very complete and accurate. Although, I think you didn't mention that you can setup global settings of the output to have the complete chain sound out from the AMP OUT, and not only before cab sim. Thanks again! Great video.

I am new to the multi-effect world. Using the POD GO with BOSS Katana-50 MKII (through power amp in). Soundwise I love it. I have a handful of IRs that I utilized to create some good user presets. I don't use the stock presets at all currently. I play in a band, but have yet to gig with it (rehearsal only). The issues I have had during rehearsal are: one time, I switched to a preset and played through a song, and when we were about to rehearse the song again, I had no sound and had to switch out of the preset and back to it for it to work again. This issue scares me the most, and I have not been able to find mention of it in any forums. I have the updated firmware. Another time, the bass in the room shook the plug out of the wall during a song. The 20 seconds it took to power back up felt like forever. The plug is very flimsy and top heavy - standard power adapter. I will be using a dedicated extension cord to keep the plug off any walls from now on.

Thanx this video convinced me to get the pod go. 👍

Отличный обзор! Спасибо, Макс!) С XLR-ами они конечно промахнулись)))))).

you did such a good job for this video man... the amount of work and planning.... well done and thanks brodda

Hi great video !

I appreciate the review. The one area where you rate the Go lower is the lack of XLR's. Well, this unit is only $450 vs the Helix LT which is $1200 or the Helix which is $1600. There you get XLR's. I had the Helix, but it was way more than I needed. The Pod Go is also more than I need, but selling the Helix for the Go gave me lots of money back. I don't miss the XLR's or unlimited spaces to place double cabs, amps and fx. Pod Go is great for the money.

Now i know simply what is guitar procesor and how it used in Home :) great 🎉🎉🎉🎉

WOW! The old phone thing is BRILLIANT! I just got the GO Wireless (Like yesterday) and need an easy quick solution for headphone click! Why didn't they put that in there? I am in awe though going from the Spider V 240. Line 6 has come so far in the last 5 years or so!

Love the PG for live, but really struggle with the volume between presets. Tried setting the volume pedal to global vs. per preset, but likely doing something wrong or it’s broken. Thanks for the video. I will try factory resetting it and trying again!

we are missing your videos!

So I've had mine for 2 years: I have learned a ton... note, I'm a long time Dsp based tone guy from the late 80s... specifically, the original Rocktron Chameleon... yes I still have it... needs an output ic😂... I digress😊 the PODGO is a gamechanger... affordable, and very "realistic" ( I mean, tone is relative, bad tone is poodoo). And I confess to owning several previous incarnations of the POD, the Hd500x, and the XT LIVE, in well over 500 shows as a coverband guy... they have been, for the most part, bulletproof, but not indestructible. My PODGO, not upgraded to the latest because of a sync issue that "froze it"... once burned, never again... has all of the options a full 12 space rack contains. WARNING: since it has only 1 sparc chip, it's dsp power is limited... note: efx/preamps etc, are limited by the specific effects dsp usage, no different than a slightly underpowered ie: student laptop. The biggest offenders are convolution reverb, some of the more esoteric overdrive, pitch, and other modulation efx, so... pick wisely... the basic offerings, L6 branded, sound pretty good... Now I love reverb, flanger, tape delay... so how to save dsp? Use the stereo loop, assignable any where in the chain to offload the reverb to a dedicated device... In my case, I use a flamma ekoverb... cheap, cool, and reverb hold, yes!!! I put it last in the chain... I really works well... My chain: Charvelle San Dimas, Bad Horsie, JB Jr volume pedal, PODGO : Tilt / 808 / Trainwreck / Loop* / V30 Black / output Stereo > Tubeworks MosValve 962 ( i have a spare as well) > 2 ea custom sealed 1x12 w/ Texas Heat : also the option to add 2 ea LOPO slant front 2x12 for bigger venues... scalable, and portable. All of it resides on a 32" pedal train system... ❤

It could be real great thing if you can do the same type ko review with boss GX 100 which is new and most of the people are trying to compare it with line 6 pod go .

This is VERY very helpful for a newbie Line 6 user like me!

superb video pls make video on Nux mg 30 aslo

Hey mate. Sorry if you get this a lot, but I was wondering if you were make an update to your '79 patch cables compared and tested' video? Thanks for the great content!

Good video!! Have you detected any latency??

Any chance of sharing you settings for that Lead REV patch? Love the sound you came up with for that one. Thx.

Thanks for the great video. My Pod XT Live just dropped dead after 16 years of service. Strongly considering this rig to take its place. The ease of recording at home is what I’m after.

Very informative video sir, great job! One question though: wouldn't you need an external poweramp to feed a cabinet in a rehearsal setting?

Is the pod go "trasparent" in 4CM respects to the Engl? I experienced other multieffects that drain signal especially when plugged in effects loop. Thanks in advance :D

"Let's downgrade." Substitutes iPhone for the Galaxy. CLASSIC! 10/10

Great content! Only issue: FRFR = Full Range Flat Response. 🙂

I use mine into a Headrush FRFR108 and send the output to the desk from that.

Does each setting that you create have the option of controlling and adjusting its volume output? So there’s not a big change in volume when you change effects?

Nice, thank you. Are your pre-sets available anywhere? (Factory pre-sets are no useful to me.)

Hola Max, agradecería tu opinión comparando ésta pedalera line 6 pod go con la Boss GX 100 que acaba de salir. No sé si has podido probar la pedalera Boss GX 100. Cuál te gusta más? Cuál creés que es más importante? Muchas gracias

Great tones mate ...can you share the presets ?...Cheers !!!!

i want itttt

Thank you for showing how to switch immediately from volume pedal to Wah!! Nobody guessed it in 1000 videos I watched on Pod Go.

Question for you Max. How would you use one of these with an amp? I know you could turn off the amp and cab sims but if I wanted to download a nice patch from the Line 6 site, it wouldn't sound right through my amp because it would already have the amp/cab set. If I turned them off to play through my amp, I would lose the correct patch sound. Does that make sense? Any decent workaround you can think of?

Tuneing it going fast sounded like a cool Greek song

I intend to replace my very cumbersome tube amp, not very practical and which does not have much effect by this model there the Line 6 Pod go I have a very simple question : I have never used this kind of pedal, should I just plug it on a cab of my choice ? Or are there other things I need to take into account or be careful with Thanks.

curios if/how you could use a talk box with a multi board like this? (using amp modeling DI to mixer) Mic the personal monitor with talk box routed through that?

Whats up can you make a video on the harley benton st 20 hh active sbk?

i have no problem with the 1/4 balanced outs because most interfaces have balanced 1/4 ins, so the cabling is actually cheaper to buy. I think the "adapter" you showed was the wrong too, It should be a male to adapt. so care people who may run out and buy one.

Can somebody please explain to me what he said at 6:51. Recorded using main outputs? How? Again connected to another interface thru TRS cables?

Add a Delay/Reverb pedal and get more DSP. Add the Stomp and have the world at your feet. Use Alternate and parallel switching to make switching even more flexible.

Hi, I would like to connect it to the Eleven Rack as an effect without an ampsim. How should one do that?

Looking at this to mainly use to go straight to a PA system As for live, if I went from amp out would the PA system still catch the delay and reverb that’s after the amp slot in the processor? Or would I have to go from main out like you did in this video to be able to catch the effects in the system?

Hye! Can you show how to recording with DAW with the Line 6 POD GO ?

👏👏👏👏👏

thanks for posting, is the Pod Go compatible with The MacBook m1 silicon?

Sir, between this and HX Stomp, for mostly studio practice and live small pub, what do you recommend?

Hi can you review the valeton gp 200. ..

When playing live is the screen big enough so you can see which effect/snapshot is attached to each pedal? I kinda like the scribble strips on the HX effects

Had one of these for approx 2 years now.. just cant get the right sound. Its far to complex for an old school guy like me. Spent many hours just to end up getting the same sound as my trusty old school effects. End of the day you only really need a couple of effects. Think I'll just let one of the grandkids sort it out...!!😂😂😂

Hi Max..I followed your 4 cable method using (Pod Go Wireless) into EVH Iconic 40watt Combo. The Pod works fine but when I change channels on the Amp nothing happens only a clean sound and none of the amp controls do anything. Ideas please..Thanks.

Is there any tone sucking when using it with the four cable method?

so I can use it for playing around with neural DSP software and send that out to my studio monitors ?

The Zoom G3x cost only around £100 about 10 years ago and has XLR output , so does the Hotone Ampero which is £100 cheaper than the POD Go, so cost shouldn't be an issue really.

I want to have that line 6 for GRig software but I don't have funds for it wish santa is real Lol keep on sharing good videos

The tuner can do the 432Hz? Thanx btw Subbed

How good does this or HX Stomp sound when disabling CAB IR and just using its preamp emulators and plugged into FX return of a guitar amp? I wonder if I can get rid of my pedalboard with an AMT SS-20 (love its clean and crunch channels). Edit: I already have an ISP Stealth power amp and guitar cabs with Celestions.

FUI, XLR doesn’t equal to stereo. So the live-part off your review doesn’t addd up. Sure, they (Line6) should use XLR-outputs instead. Would make the product even better! Otherwise, your review was very helpful! 😃🤟

BUT does it djent or will it chug 🙂 Nice review btw

How Long the battery lasts?

what about Mooer GE300 ? Could you record same video concept with GE300 please? Or for now, if you have any experience with GE300, which one will you choose for home practice with speakers? (or other products in same price range )

ЗДравствуйте! будет ли русская версия видео?

Can you use this in FL Studio?

Dude, are you Finnish? You sound like Valtteri BOTTAS? jejjee great review and tips

I like mine, but the factory presets are 90% useless. Which is normal for units like this.

I've sold all my pedals, more ODS, EQ, silencer, wah, compressors, multireverb, delays ... And now my amp is awaiting, for someone to give it some use. I'm so tired of bring all these stuff with .e for rehearsals z and live situations. More than 100 kg in equipment. No more. I dont have a stuff guy to help me with that. Bring the Hotone Ampero II. Good time to be a guitar player.

Is it USER FRIENDLY???????????????

А че на английском, куда русский Макс делся?)

its 2023 they need to upgrade the pc interface......and bal outs (mic) and add a metal chassis......

Such a good pedal but Line 6 distortion SUUUUXX!!!!

please do reviews with at least hss confg ....we dont know the potential with single coil

no build in metronom, how stupid
