I used to carry around a 65-pound pedalboard (14 pedals) along with a heavy amp (sometimes my Marshall JCM 2000 modified). As I got older, carrying this stuff became a burden. In the past I tried various digital mod systems and they all (to my ear) sounded sterile. When Pod Go came out I pre-ordered it and it arrived about 3 months later at release. Wow, what an improvement. It weighted only a few pounds and the sounds was great, feeling like playing with a tube amp with natural compression. After several weeks I dialed in my sound. Since the band I played in had an awesome sound system I plugged in the Pod Go direct stereo into the PA. Since then, my heavy pedalboard and amps are gathering dust. I bought a carrying case for the Pod Go, putting all the necessary cables and my wireless in the case with the Pod Go. Now I carry only about 6 pounds when playing out (except for my guitars). Lastly, I record a lot, and I no longer use any of the effect in Pro Tools options or any of my old pedals (some were 30+ years old), just the Pod Go. Life is simpler.
Your “for example” comments, shots of the screen, and red arrows showing where one might place a pedal in one’s chain helped me tremendously. Seriously! I have been considering this product vs. an Iridium or HX Stomp, but many videos are vague and confusing. Thank you! BUT IT’S NOT RED!
I recently bought the Pod Go (It's not red), and I feel that it has massive value packed into one compact box. For most guitarists (or rhythm guitarists like myself), who more or less use a linear guitar FX signal chain, the POD GO has everything you need. Great tones and usability. Great video! Thanks. 😀
I have had the Pod Go for over a year and still love it. About a month after I got it, the Stomp XL came out and I have to admit that I would have probably bought that one. But because the Go is what it is, I don't feel pressured to buy anything else. I love seeing all the Pod Go love you guys are sending out. Keep it up because....wait for it....it's not red...or read...or wred...or....
Hey, great video! I enjoyed your sense of humor and your overview of the Pod Go. I picked one up a few months ago so that I could jam with an old drummer friend of mine on his newly acquired Roland digital kit. We ran his drum kit and the Pod Go into a small Zoom mixing board that has the ability to do separate headphone mixes, and we rocked out a bit without disturbing neighbors, kids, families, and animals at our advanced ages. There's so much that the Pod Go can do that I feel I'll be discovering new things about it for many moons to come. Although it's significantly lighter and more versatile than my pedal and Super Reverb amp setup, it's not red, but I like it all the same. Thanks for your video, and rock on!
Thank you for a great video. I’ve been using the PG (mine is not red) for a year playing in church and have just scratched the surface of its capabilities. I love it.
Brilliant video. I am late to the digital effects pedal game. I’ve always preferred lugging an insane amount of gear, to provide the perfect tone, to a room full of people who couldn’t tell a good guitar tone from bad. Why have I agonized over the tubes, the pedals, the $200 cables, the vintage Celestion (made in the UK of course)? They say experience comes from bad decisions and wisdom from experience. I just ordered a Pod Go based upon your video. I’m so excited to live like a singer and just show up to a gig…but it’s not red.
Sounds like a great piece of gear for someone like me who travels everywhere on public. I have a podHD300 from way back that still functions. This looks a bit smaller and more updated... but it’s not red.
Me too! One of the buttons is a bit hit/miss and there is a slight squeak from the volume/wah pedal. But it is still more advanced than me! ........ but its not red!
I bought a Pod Go in January to replace my Fractal Audio AxeFXIII/Mastermind GT/22 rig. I'm mainly doing fly-gigs these days so the high-end unit was too bulky and too difficult to substitute at the destination end if something happened in transit. I 'downgraded' to the Pod Go with some amount of trepidation but these fears were unwarranted. I was actually surprised by how good the unit sounds. In a perfect world I would still use my Fractal unit but the Pod Go is all I need for this current touring gig but...."it's not red". 😉
Oh, my God... it's not red. But I still like it. I have a Helix LT and love it. I also have a number of tube amps and can tell you that the Line 6 stuff is the real deal. It sounds great. So great that I actually want more of it, even though I don't really need more, I want to put a Pod Go in front of my bedroom amp so I can impress my wife with the long delays, deep-deep reverbs, and hot distortions for hour upon hour of pleasure. You get my meaning. Thanks for the inspiration.
Precisely my main pedalboard, which consists of a Super OD, Angry Charlie, Pink Phanter, Boss Tremolo, Boss Phaser, Mini Wah and a Synth for guitar, just failed me, and I have a gig tomorrow (May 26) so I resorted to recreating the pedals inside the pod go, just adding the pink phanter in the loop, no amp simulation and no IR just going straight to my Hot Rod Deluxe, it sounds exactly the same, good thing I have a Pod Go as well as my assorted collection of pedals, most of the time I just use the Pod Go for regular gigs, directly into front of house.
I got mine only a few months after it came out. It does take a bit of digging into to get some of the sounds you want (The "Mandurian" amps and cabs do work great for doomy stuff once you tweak them... Just like the real thing). I did find the bass mods a wee bit lacking though even when I put my DP-3X in the effects loop as a pre-amp. Other than that I think I'll be hanging on to this for my home recording hobby at the very least... even if it's not red.
I gig with the Pod Go. It's the best multi fx I've had. What I wanted, apart from some usable and preferably good sounds, is you can easily use it as a stomp box on the fly with 6 FX! So, big clear screen for onstage use, easy to adjust parameters on the fly and 6 FX in stomp mode at the push of a button, what more could you ask for.....apart from the usual ins and outs and yes, its not red!
Its your Uk accent that keeps my attention on your videos that and the informative info on the gear,that piece of gear has an Awsome rock sound and very Blue-sy sound as well BUT IT IS NOT RED !!!
thank you so much for this video. I bought the unit and now I don't need to carry heavy amplifier e.t.c. You saved me from a lot of problems as i play every evening for six months
I have the pod go, my fellow guitar player in our band is a helix player...I was jubious...but...its absolutely amazing!!! Covers all my needs in virtually everyway and a bit more...love it..not used an amp since!!!! ...but..its not RED
Yea I got a tc helicon voice live 3 and ran that and all my other instruments right into my P.A. and recording studio and haven't even plugged any of my amps in since and it's been a few years now... Everyone who plays with me are considering doing the same cuz it sounds so good
It can certainly replace my rig, as it's an HD500X. Sometimes I use it direct to mixer and sometimes through my valve amp. I've just upgraded to the Pod Go wireless version, but it's not red
My POD GO / Boss Katana Artist rig does EVERYTHING I need. I get what I've already had before with my tube amps... and MORE! Funny you mention the weight... because I don't kill myself bringing both out, super light and no maintenance so far at all. BUT... it's not red!
Well it’s not red…but my PodGo Wireless IS possibly the most fun thing I’ve had to accompany my guitars. I won mine in Henning’s competition and it’s been nothing short of a revelation for me. I use it in conjunction with my Fender Mustang GTX100 amp and between those two I have a considerably endless catalog of amps and pedals and recording options. 10 effect slots with using both footswitches (plus the wah on the PodGo) and I can record in litany of ways. It’s just…so…damn..fun. Great video Andy!
Had a pod go, didn’t have an effects loop on my amp, bought it as a cheaper way of getting pedals, sounded like trash as expected. Was a shame too because it is a good piece of kit when used right just didn’t want to splash the cash on a speaker set up
I've been thinking a lot about choosing between the HX and the PodGo. At first I would go for the HX to use with pedals, but now you've reminded me of the time I used an HD300, and I think the PodGo will be a better choice for me, but it's not red... Thanks for the insight...
Great vid and great bit of kit, I have an XT Live which I used to use and it's amazing how things have improved, it's a bit of a bargain as well. I would say though it sounds much better (to my ears) with an IR rather than the built in cabs. The only problem is that it's not red ! 😂
What difference does it make moving all the distortion cabinet amp compression etc components about on the Edit display? I got a Pod Go and like it, but it's not red. I wish it were.
Interesting! I didn't really consider the Go but I've bought myself a HX Stomp and I'm loving the options for both guitar and bass, played a gig with just the HX into the bass amp there and it sounded killer. Replaced a bigger board I used with octave, compression, tuner and Preamp/DI, and I had the ability to actually get good blended bass fuzz which I've never done before. Pod Go looks like a great all in one option that does the same! .... But it's not red👀
Just ordered this one. Should be good times (but it’s not red)!! Thanks for sharing the trick of recording wet and dry signals simultaneously- will have to give that a go!
i love my pod go seriously it was a cheap effective game changer especialy that i couldnt realy afford the helix the pod go has so much to offer i got trs to xlr cable for the balanced out and i use a d.i. box in front to get the wet and dry signal insted of the usb on the pod go ...all the fx and snapshot capabilties are insane i never even leve 1 page of patches ...and with the option to change the button colors when your in footswitch mode is cool to personalize each patch
I bought a HX stomp second hand a while back hoping to make it my "practice board" and immediately realized that while the small form factor was awesome and sounds great, the unit it's self had some draw backs only having the 3 foot switches. I am realizing that I should have gotten the POD go instead as it checks a few more boxes but oh well live and learn. But its not red
oh, a red one would look nice... I love mine. Got it for 400 usd (thanks Dan @ sw). Totally transformed my entire setup. Now run as interface when recording, and live I run it in stereo to two amps, and my old pedalboard in the effects loop. Looove it
I gig 3 times a week and have not had an amp for over 5 years. There is everything available in pedal form now, even all valve pedals from Victory, matched with an IR, chuck it thru an FRFR or direct to the PA (or both). Jobs a good ‘un
Great vid about this awesome pedal, l love my pod go and definitely far better than carrying loads of awkward pedals. Been there and now much prefer this great fun pedal that does it all. Recording this does effectively and gigging is perfect as well. 👍🙏🎸
You are correct! I use a Pod Go to replace my rig - in fact, I haven't used my "regular" rig for five months. When I'm using the Pod Go, I turn the cabs off as I'm running through the effects loop of an EHX Howitzer, which bypasses the tone stack and gain stage and uses only the power amp, so no color from the pre-amp. ...but it's not red.
Awe i just ordered mine, I’m m so excited.. i have a LOT of pedals and boldly proclaim my hatred of multi effects at every given opportunity… but I’m really excited to try it.. but its not red 😉🙏☘️☘️☘️
So what it’s not red but who cares, color doesn’t matter, only what it can do! Right? You’ve convinced me on this product. I’ve been a fan of Line 6 modeling effects devices, I even have a Line 6 Sonic port. I’m in a serious need to upgrade and just starting out into the pedal world. I had been debating on the M series from the M5 to the M13. But, now seeing this, the POD GO seems much more versatile and it really isn’t that big. With this unit I can upload my favorite existing presets that I’ve tweaked over the years and take them anywhere. This will be my next Line 6 product for sure. Thanks for your video and useful information on this amazing workhorse!
I too used a POD XT Live for a long time. I recently bought a used BOSS GT-100, mainly because I wanted to be able to more easily edit and arrange patches as you can with BOSS Tone Studio. One thing I find odd in these new floor units from Line 6 (and BOSS as well) is the tiny and close-together buttons. I know they allow the unit itself to be smaller, but for me I'd be afraid that it would be too easy to hit the wrong button. Do you have thoughts about why this style of button for floor units like this has become common, and any comments after using them? But it's not red at least.
Thanx for your vid! Does the POD Go really sound just the same as the Helix? I am asking this because if they do sound just the same, I will go for the POD Go. The Helix would be too much for me. I am a newcomer to digital modelling, so please let me ask some questions! Would the POD Go sound best through a PA system? Should I go for stereo, active, passive? Could I get overdriven sounds out of the POD Go at moderate volumes? I really do not wanna be loud at home! My tube combos are deafening if overdriven, I can't use them at home. My Roland JC-40 with the Plumes OD is quite moderate, that is already ok. Please help me a bit, thanx!
I have been strongly considering going this route but the thought of disabling my cab sims to go into a clean amp was a major concern. Today I learned that this is not an issue. The only drawback I can see if that it's not red. Well that and do I really want to retire my pedals? That thought makes me sad.
It's not red. I was told it would be red. Actually owned a Pod Go for a bit. I've gone back and forth between "I'm replacing my pedals with digital to save money" and "But I love pedals!" It's a great rig. Kept running into DSP capacity issues where it didn't have enough power to do the stupid, overdone rigs I was always trying to do with it. But for the kind of straightforward board I might use if I gigged regularly, it's a fantastic piece of gear. But I'm also in my "But I love pedals!" mode, so maybe when I swing back to digital, I'll try another one.
I am thinking of getting a modeling thing to enhance both my home playing/recording and my live sounds. But I already have a bunch of pedals and I am not sure the if the Pod Go is better for my usecase then the HX Stomp. They are similar money, and the Stomp plays better on a pedal board. But its not red though My pedalboard currently is 'just' 6 pedals (tuner, sd-1, Mojomojo, russian big muff reissue, custom scipt phase-90 and flashback II)
Hi, just wanted to say great video as always. I have the original pod 2 and still use it live, but it is red. Maybe time for an update, however the sounds in the original pod are very useable. But it’s not red.
I have had a long love affair with tubeless and digital gear and it's nice to see more and more people being won over to it's merits. I think there is a place more gear like this in most people's arsenals. I used to know a monkey with eyes in it's mucus. It wasn't very smart, but it snot read.
I didn't think it would sound the same (or even similar) as the more expensive Helix series. I did actually consider to buy the Pod Go, but I went for pedals instead. I would have bought it if it were a different color.... but it's not red :)
I used to be a “tube amp” snob too until I tried the free trial for the helix plug in… and I preferred the tone from the helix than my actual amp…. (Not saying that they sound better objectively but for me personally I liked the way the helix sounded more) and sold my whole rig except for a couple pedals for an hx stomp. It’s been over a year now and not a single regret since.
Great video! Hey, what is the brand of the guitar gigbag that you showed in the middle of the video? I have my Pod Go in the original Pod Go bag but I just want to have all my things in one bag if possible :)
I had trouble following Reason #3. Could you perhaps do a future video on the topic but with graphics and flowcharts? My brain learns best with visual aids. Maybe that's why I'm so drawn to Line 6's aesthetic design. Visually, I find that new Catalyst amp gorgeous, and this Pod Go looks good enough to eat. But it's not bread.
Very enticing. Especially the reamp feature. But if I’ve already spent a small fortune on gear then it’s probably best for someone at that fork in the road. Besides, it’s not red.
HOLY Moly - that Fuzz pedal sounded tasty. I've been seriously thinking about about going with a Victory Sheriff V4 as the main amp and my pod go for FX. It's almost like you're part of the universal signals to boot me up the bum to do it. There's only one problem. Which is simply this - It's good, but it's not red.
I’ll stick wit my 500Hd till I can afford the Big helix. I’m sure it’s great for my 4 cable method WDW setup. Baboon butts are red? and sometimes blue and always full of …. What was we supposed ta say?
Andy, I've watched your channel for ages all through the katana years and I've played along with you. I'm now looking into all the helix stuff but I can't find your reviews on your channel. Could you put me in the right direction?
I'm deciding between a Pod Go and a BOSS GX100. Anyone familiar with both and can tell me which they think is the easiest to use/program and anything else that you think is important to mention? I'll be using it for cover band gigs. Thank you! and- great video despite it not being red.
Yes, No. 2. is my way. Pedals and multieffects are great together. As the classic song says: We all know that pedals are the same whereever you go There is good and bad in ev'ryrig We learn to live, when we learn to give Each other what we need to survive, together alive Pedaly and multily live together in perfect harmony Side by side on my gitar floorboard, oh Lord why don't we? (but it is not red)
I still haven't fully worked my old Line 6 floor pod yet which i have had for donkeys years but its not RED so that's good! Now I want a pod go! And the Blue HB SG to go with it!!! Stop it now Andy Im going to get into trouble!
You have to set the PG as output in the DAW setup but yes, it "sees" the PG. You have USB 1/2 for stereo wet signal and USB 3/4 for dry. Which can be recorded simultaneously.
But it's not red... or dark blue. I just got a G11 and it's not red or blue either. I haven''t gotten very far into learning it yet, but I don't see going into individual pedals again.
I have several of the old pod products and they have served me well. I still struggle with the tone as compared to my many amps. Pod works but is still digital sounding in comparison. Many of my peers have gone back to tube amps for the pure tone. Playing pedal steel guitar and Telecaster I still prefer the tube tones. Haven't tried Axefex or Kemper.
Seems pretty cool. Probably shouldve gotten this instead of buying pedals. Costs about the same as 5 boss pedals.... but its not red. Red would look pretty sweet.
Being a dinosaur let’s see if I’ve got this right. As a gigging musician I can rock up with this instead of my insanely heavy combo valve amp. And pedal board. I can plug the pod go straight into the mixer . No need for an amp at all though could use one as monitor if required. It comes with lots of pre set tones included and I can download more on to it? And how good does it sound going straight into mixer? May thanks.. you have peaked my interest good sir
@@TheGuitarGeek thanks for that. One quick question if I buy the unit how do I hear it for home/practice use..obviously for gigging so straight into front of house. But if playing at home what’s best way to hear it. Go through amp? Or do I go usb into computer. I’m totally new to all this and all videos on this just show tones and general set up. Not what they plug the pod go into to get external noise. If that makes sense.. thanks for your help

what I really like most about POD GO
are pitch effects are very nostalgic Vintage
which reminds me of my first ZOOM 505 II

Glad to hear it’s working out. It’s quite the amazing little box

Can it switch patches on the Line 6 guitars as well?????

thank you so much for this video.
I bought the unit and now I don't need to carry heavy amplifier e.t.c.
You saved me from a lot of problems as i play every evening for six months
You are welcome. This really is a fantastic rig
The kids that want to lug heavy tube amps can have at it. I retired mine a few years ago and I’m the only one that even knows.
Nope, I came here to tell you that I have a PodGo, and that I totally agree with you.
I love it!
Great bit of kit isn’t it
I have the pod go, my fellow guitar player in our band is a helix player...I was jubious...but...its absolutely amazing!!! Covers all my needs in virtually everyway and a bit more...love it..not used an amp since!!!! ...but..its not RED
Yea I got a tc helicon voice live 3 and ran that and all my other instruments right into my P.A. and recording studio and haven't even plugged any of my amps in since and it's been a few years now... Everyone who plays with me are considering doing the same cuz it sounds so good
How robust is the expression pedal? Are you able to change the tension on it? 🤘
It's... ok. Made of aluminum I think. You CAN adjust the tension with an included tool.
It can certainly replace my rig, as it's an HD500X. Sometimes I use it direct to mixer and sometimes through my valve amp. I've just upgraded to the Pod Go wireless version, but it's not red
That’s a handy upgrade there!

Just bought one .liking it in front of my clean channel in boss katana.looking forward to exploring it more.
Interesting! I didn't really consider the Go but I've bought myself a HX Stomp and I'm loving the options for both guitar and bass, played a gig with just the HX into the bass amp there and it sounded killer. Replaced a bigger board I used with octave, compression, tuner and Preamp/DI, and I had the ability to actually get good blended bass fuzz which I've never done before. Pod Go looks like a great all in one option that does the same!
.... But it's not red👀
Just ordered this one. Should be good times (but it’s not red)!! Thanks for sharing the trick of recording wet and dry signals simultaneously- will have to give that a go!
Can you please share the tone at @2:22? pretty please haha
i love my pod go seriously it was a cheap effective game changer especialy that i couldnt realy afford the helix the pod go has so much to offer i got trs to xlr cable for the balanced out and i use a d.i. box in front to get the wet and dry signal insted of the usb on the pod go ...all the fx and snapshot capabilties are insane i never even leve 1 page of patches ...and with the option to change the button colors when your in footswitch mode is cool to personalize each patch
Enjoyed this, very helpful, cheers.
Hey Russ! Thank you. Maybe we are related?!?!
I bought a HX stomp second hand a while back hoping to make it my "practice board" and immediately realized that while the small form factor was awesome and sounds great, the unit it's self had some draw backs only having the 3 foot switches. I am realizing that I should have gotten the POD go instead as it checks a few more boxes but oh well live and learn.
But its not red
Love my Pod Go, but it's not red *thank God. I sold all my pedals on reverb, because it has more than I'll ever need. The hack made it unstoppable.
"The hack"?
@@shane1v Someone figured out that you can get rid of the amp and cab, etc. to add more slots for "pedals" so it can be more like a pedalboard.
@@JimmyD718 Thanks👍
@@shane1v If you want some of the presets with extra blocks just let me know. I can email them to you no problem
@@JimmyD718 Thank you! I ordered one early this morning! LOL Can't wait to dive in!
oh, a red one would look nice...
I love mine. Got it for 400 usd (thanks Dan @ sw). Totally transformed my entire setup. Now run as interface when recording, and live I run it in stereo to two amps, and my old pedalboard in the effects loop. Looove it
What brand is that gig bag it looks the business !!!
I’m thinking about getting one of these and selling my LT . I would probably do it if you can tell me how get that gig bag you had it in?
I gig 3 times a week and have not had an amp for over 5 years. There is everything available in pedal form now, even all valve pedals from Victory, matched with an IR, chuck it thru an FRFR or direct to the PA (or both). Jobs a good ‘un
What do you think of the Boss GX-100 as a direct alternative. Sorry to be that guy 😅
It's more expensive
Good video. Read. Can you share the preset for the Hendrix sound?
Great vid about this awesome pedal, l love my pod go and definitely far better than carrying loads of awkward pedals. Been there and now much prefer this great fun pedal that does it all. Recording this does effectively and gigging is perfect as well. 👍🙏🎸
You are correct! I use a Pod Go to replace my rig - in fact, I haven't used my "regular" rig for five months.
When I'm using the Pod Go, I turn the cabs off as I'm running through the effects loop of an EHX Howitzer, which bypasses the tone stack and gain stage and uses only the power amp, so no color from the pre-amp.
...but it's not red.
All excellent points and very well made Andy. Brilliant 😃👍👍
It’s not red !!
Awe i just ordered mine, I’m m so excited.. i have a LOT of pedals and boldly proclaim my hatred of multi effects at every given opportunity… but I’m really excited to try it.. but its not red 😉🙏☘️☘️☘️
So what it’s not red but who cares, color doesn’t matter, only what it can do! Right? You’ve convinced me on this product. I’ve been a fan of Line 6 modeling effects devices, I even have a Line 6 Sonic port. I’m in a serious need to upgrade and just starting out into the pedal world. I had been debating on the M series from the M5 to the M13. But, now seeing this, the POD GO seems much more versatile and it really isn’t that big. With this unit I can upload my favorite existing presets that I’ve tweaked over the years and take them anywhere.
This will be my next Line 6 product for sure.
Thanks for your video and useful information on this amazing workhorse!
I too used a POD XT Live for a long time. I recently bought a used BOSS GT-100, mainly because I wanted to be able to more easily edit and arrange patches as you can with BOSS Tone Studio. One thing I find odd in these new floor units from Line 6 (and BOSS as well) is the tiny and close-together buttons. I know they allow the unit itself to be smaller, but for me I'd be afraid that it would be too easy to hit the wrong button. Do you have thoughts about why this style of button for floor units like this has become common, and any comments after using them? But it's not red at least.
Thanx for your vid! Does the POD Go really sound just the same as the Helix? I am asking this because if they do sound just the same, I will go for the POD Go. The Helix would be too much for me. I am a newcomer to digital modelling, so please let me ask some questions! Would the POD Go sound best through a PA system? Should I go for stereo, active, passive? Could I get overdriven sounds out of the POD Go at moderate volumes? I really do not wanna be loud at home! My tube combos are deafening if overdriven, I can't use them at home. My Roland JC-40 with the Plumes OD is quite moderate, that is already ok. Please help me a bit, thanx!
I have been strongly considering going this route but the thought of disabling my cab sims to go into a clean amp was a major concern. Today I learned that this is not an issue. The only drawback I can see if that it's not red. Well that and do I really want to retire my pedals? That thought makes me sad.
It's not red. I was told it would be red. Actually owned a Pod Go for a bit. I've gone back and forth between "I'm replacing my pedals with digital to save money" and "But I love pedals!" It's a great rig. Kept running into DSP capacity issues where it didn't have enough power to do the stupid, overdone rigs I was always trying to do with it. But for the kind of straightforward board I might use if I gigged regularly, it's a fantastic piece of gear. But I'm also in my "But I love pedals!" mode, so maybe when I swing back to digital, I'll try another one.
I am thinking of getting a modeling thing to enhance both my home playing/recording and my live sounds. But I already have a bunch of pedals and I am not sure the if the Pod Go is better for my usecase then the HX Stomp. They are similar money, and the Stomp plays better on a pedal board. But its not red though
My pedalboard currently is 'just' 6 pedals (tuner, sd-1, Mojomojo, russian big muff reissue, custom scipt phase-90 and flashback II)
Nice, thank you.
Are your pre-sets available anywhere?
Oh yeah, IT"S NOT RED! haha
Dude, your presentation style is great. BTW, have you considered doing standup?
Hi, just wanted to say great video as always. I have the original pod 2 and still use it live, but it is red. Maybe time for an update, however the sounds in the original pod are very useable. But it’s not red.
I have had a long love affair with tubeless and digital gear and it's nice to see more and more people being won over to it's merits. I think there is a place more gear like this in most people's arsenals.
I used to know a monkey with eyes in it's mucus. It wasn't very smart, but it snot read.
I didn't think it would sound the same (or even similar) as the more expensive Helix series. I did actually consider to buy the Pod Go, but I went for pedals instead. I would have bought it if it were a different color.... but it's not red :)
I am thinking of getting the pod go, but it's not red. I still use a marshal JMP1 atm.
I used to be a “tube amp” snob too until I tried the free trial for the helix plug in… and I preferred the tone from the helix than my actual amp…. (Not saying that they sound better objectively but for me personally I liked the way the helix sounded more) and sold my whole rig except for a couple pedals for an hx stomp. It’s been over a year now and not a single regret since.
Great video!
Hey, what is the brand of the guitar gigbag that you showed in the middle of the video?
I have my Pod Go in the original Pod Go bag but I just want to have all my things in one bag if possible :)
Thanks! It's this one - thmn.to/thoprod/442406?offid=1&affid=288
I had trouble following Reason #3. Could you perhaps do a future video on the topic but with graphics and flowcharts? My brain learns best with visual aids. Maybe that's why I'm so drawn to Line 6's aesthetic design. Visually, I find that new Catalyst amp gorgeous, and this Pod Go looks good enough to eat. But it's not bread.
It's not red. Waiting on mine to come. Thank you for the review and tips.
How about the DSP limitation of the POD go? Would that be considered a negative... and its not red.
What’s the brand of guitar case you have in the video?
Very enticing. Especially the reamp feature. But if I’ve already spent a small fortune on gear then it’s probably best for someone at that fork in the road. Besides, it’s not red.
I would like a PodGo but... they’re not red. Nice vid man 👌🏼
HOLY Moly - that Fuzz pedal sounded tasty.
I've been seriously thinking about about going with a Victory Sheriff V4 as the main amp and my pod go for FX. It's almost like you're part of the universal signals to boot me up the bum to do it.
There's only one problem. Which is simply this - It's good, but it's not red.
One boot to bum deployed sir!
@@TheGuitarGeek It's either the sherrif or maybe a Marshall sv20... Or maybe the marshall 20w jcm800.
Choosing gear is hard. :(
I just bought one (IN RED)...so far so good...but they require a good amount of tweaking to make it sound awesome !!!
Thanks Andy,did I miss it when you RED the price,or is it not, lol O B 1 - W A N KENOBI coming May 27 (Friday) 😎🎸
I bought an HX stomp about 6 months ago. This seems like a better choice. And at least it's not red.
Hi Andy, great video 👍🏼
What was that guitar soft case with the T on it? I'm assuming it's a Thomann bag 🎒 looks really useful.
Thanks Andrew. It’s a safe case - Thomann SafeCase 80 E-Guitar Bag
Fantastic piece of kit
@@TheGuitarGeek thanks Andy, it's on back order, and now we play the waiting game 😅 it looks the business alright 👍🏼
Great review as usual, thank you!
Hola, can you explain a little more how to use the pod go with my amp. I just use amp out. Is that correct?
I’ll stick wit my 500Hd till I can afford the Big helix.
I’m sure it’s great for my 4 cable method WDW setup.
Baboon butts are red? and sometimes blue and always full of …. What was we supposed ta say?
Question : is Pod go ok with an acoustic guitar ?
But mine is red 🤣😅 I bought the limited edition 2 weeks ago and it is so interesting to use!
Great video!
Andy, I've watched your channel for ages all through the katana years and I've played along with you. I'm now looking into all the helix stuff but I can't find your reviews on your channel. Could you put me in the right direction?
Hi! I’ve done some
Stuff for the HX stomp, not the helix though. Thanks for sticking with me all these
Years!
Does it have a Bluetooth connection for backing tracks of my smartphone?
Gotta love my PodGo, it's great and I still have a lot to dig in. Great video! Looking forward to more PodGo content! But it's not red! 🤪
I'm deciding between a Pod Go and a BOSS GX100. Anyone familiar with both and can tell me which they think is the easiest to use/program and anything else that you think is important to mention? I'll be using it for cover band gigs. Thank you!
and- great video despite it not being red.
Thanks 🙏🏻
Yes, No. 2. is my way. Pedals and multieffects are great together. As the classic song says:
We all know that pedals are the same whereever you go
There is good and bad in ev'ryrig
We learn to live, when we learn to give
Each other what we need to survive, together alive
Pedaly and multily live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my gitar floorboard, oh Lord why don't we? (but it is not red)
I still haven't fully worked my old Line 6 floor pod yet which i have had for donkeys years but its not RED so that's good!
Now I want a pod go! And the Blue HB SG to go with it!!! Stop it now Andy Im going to get into trouble!
Apologies… well not really😂
Great vid and great unit.
I don’t have a rig yet just my guitar and boss katana, I was looking at building a guitar but thinking this may be better, but it’s not red.
I'm just not too happy at how much more the wireless version is, since I feel that's a really good upgrade. but it's not red, so what do I know!
What you have for Bass guitar
Will the daw automatically see the output of the pod go if used as a usb interface? And why is it not red?
You have to set the PG as output in the DAW setup but yes, it "sees" the PG. You have USB 1/2 for stereo wet signal and USB 3/4 for dry. Which can be recorded simultaneously.
But it’s not red. I was on the fence and considering hx stomp and selling my spider V 120. Ended up keeping it and buying the go instead. I love it.
But it's not red... or dark blue. I just got a G11 and it's not red or blue either. I haven''t gotten very far into learning it yet, but I don't see going into individual pedals again.
I have several of the old pod products and they have served me well. I still struggle with the tone as compared to my many amps. Pod works but is still digital sounding in comparison. Many of my peers have gone back to tube amps for the pure tone. Playing pedal steel guitar and Telecaster I still prefer the tube tones. Haven't tried Axefex or Kemper.
But it's not red! My man great video! You do a great job for us all and you're irreplaceable, we need you 😃
Love it! Line 6 has come a long way, but it’s not red! Oh well..
I just loaded up the car to head off to a public acoustic jam. I’ll be running my Gibson acoustic through my Pod Pro for the first time.
Seems pretty cool. Probably shouldve gotten this instead of buying pedals. Costs about the same as 5 boss pedals.... but its not red. Red would look pretty sweet.
Great thanks! Should have been red.
Being a dinosaur let’s see if I’ve got this right. As a gigging musician I can rock up with this instead of my insanely heavy combo valve amp. And pedal board. I can plug the pod go straight into the mixer . No need for an amp at all though could use one as monitor if required. It comes with lots of pre set tones included and I can download more on to it? And how good does it sound going straight into mixer? May thanks.. you have peaked my interest good sir
Hi David. Yes that’s right! The sounds obviously depend on the quality of the PA system too but the sounds coming from the pod go are phenomenal
@@TheGuitarGeek thanks for that. One quick question if I buy the unit how do I hear it for home/practice use..obviously for gigging so straight into front of house. But if playing at home what’s best way to hear it. Go through amp? Or do I go usb into computer. I’m totally new to all this and all videos on this just show tones and general set up. Not what they plug the pod go into to get external noise. If that makes sense.. thanks for your help
@@davidkay3443 headphones or a set of studio monitors are a good option.
