  1. You have the Momentary option selected for the footswitch with the chorus assigned to it. That’s found on the Bypass Assign page. Set it to Latching, and it will act like a typical stomp switch.

  2. I would be hesitant to recommend a Helix to a brand new guitar player. It's a real handful as far as the depth of the technology and a complete paradigm shift from the typical "plug your guitar into and amp and play" situation most people are familiar with. The modeling paradigm simulates the real world amp and effects situation, but it would likely take away from your primary joy of just learning to play...unless you would consider yourself to be a pretty technically inclined person. It is fairly easy to find resources to download fully functional presets and just play, but the most reliable ones aren't the free ones typically. At some point you still have to learn how to tweak them or troubleshoot them if you make adjustments and things go wrong. That's probably fine for someone that's pretty technically inclined, not so good for someone that's not.

  3. Any chance Line6 will ever move the looper to it’s own fixed block on the PodGo? Here’s my problem (if I understand correctly). I set up a patch with 4 effects - like a compressor, overdrive, delay, and reverb. Pretty reasonable patch. But now I want to use the looper to practice, or perform. Can’t be done unless I change my patch. It’s not like my patch is unreasonably complex … it’s a pretty basic patch. But I can’t use it with the looper because I have to give up a block. It seems strange that you might have to change your patches just so you can use the looper. Too bad it’s not an independent fixed block. I have an HD500, and I’m seriously considering the PodGo, but this is a significant issue to me.

  4. Has anybody had any luck finding and using a battery power supply for PodGo? Most available for pedalboards are underpowered - the PodGo needs 3000mA but these kinds of things usually seem to have a max of around 500mA available. There's actually an article in the latest Premier Guitar magazine (June '21) about converting an 18v cordless power tool battery for use as a pedalboard power supply which could be the answer, but wondering if anyone has already bought or tried something which works? I'm keen to use battery power if possible to avoid noisy venue power issues and also just because it would be easier to have everything powered within the same pedalboard with no external DC connection.

  5. Thanks spaceatl. It was also for convenience - less cables and adaptors everywhere and a cleaner setup which is good for cramped stages etc. I have a couple of other pedals that I run alongside which need their own separate power supply so one battery based system that could power everything is what I'm hoping for. Ideas anyone?

  7. Yes, that is indeed correct. You have not actually contributed anything to the dialogue. But hey, you are most welcome :-)

  8. I'll add to the above by saying if you're playing high gain stuff like Whitesnake (similar to what I play), you may be unsatisfied with the Helix high gain models, depending how fussy you are. If you're okay with a reasonable high gain tone, you'll be fine. The Helix has a lot of versatility so you'll cure the pedal problem easily enough. If you are fussy about the high gain sound, I would consider a Fractal FM3. I know it's not popular to say it but truthfully, it does high gain better than most amp modellers. Helix does everything else pretty well, it just lacks a bit in the high gain authenticity, but as I say, it depends how fussy you are on those types of tones.
