If you bought the IR from the Line 6 store.... then a simple "support ticket" with Line 6 is all you would have needed to solve this problem. They would have sorted it out very quickly. You didn't test any of this out prior to a gig? Please tell me I'm reading that wrong?

Thanks man, already ordered the ROCKBOARD NATURAL SOUND BUFFER at my local store, even if it costs quite double the price (28 €), as I had bad experiences with Ali. Should arrive Tuesday Hopefully it will make me happier

I gave it a shot, but I really suck at tone matching, especially metal because while I enjoy playing heavy sounding presets, I'm really not into metal. I get something good sounding and get lost jamming, then an hour later compare it to the base tone and it's not even close. I stopped using GR5 years ago because while it has some fun and unique FX, the amp modeling just doesn't do it for me. I get what I like out of Helix easily. It's interesting though that of the two presets you called out, one is super simple, the other is incredibly complicated, and they both have a certain something that I just can't figure out on Helix. Anyhow, Good Luck, and if you ever do find a match, please come back to one of these threads and post the preset. If somebody figures it out I'd love to see how!

No, the Pod Go's input impedance has been measured independently by a couple of people (at least) including me. It is around 250K Ohms. This is far lower than the 1M Ohm stated by Line 6. There is no need to drag the Helix into the debate - that is a red herring. One can simply turn off all the blocks on the Go and compare playing directly through the Pod Go verses playing with a buffer buffer pedal in front. The difference is striking. Someone on the facebook Pod Go group posted a snippet of the Go's schematic clearly showing a 1nF capacitor shunting the input to ground, and a picture showing the location of the offending cap (C126 if memory serves). The post was removed within hours - Line 6 probably threatened legal action. That cap would definitely cause the low input impedance. And no amount of firmware changes can remove that cap. I suspect that if Line six does anything at all to address this, they'll simply add a generic high end boost in the signal path in an attempt to mask the problem. But so far, Line 6 is ignoring the problem. They have not addressed it here even though it was brought to light in February. There's a thread on The Gear Page discussing this issue and the Line 6 employees who regularly participate on TGP have not commented despite being directly asked.

I’m using a TRS to TRS cable with mine. Try this: Connect a TRS cable from the Stomp EXP/FS jack to the SP1 Out 1 jack. Press the PAGE left/right buttons at once to go to the MENU. PAGE right once and select Global Settings. Upper Knob scroll to Preferences. PAGE right once. EXP/FS Tip = EXP 1 EXP/FS Ring = FS5 Tip Polarity = Normal. Press VIEW to exit the MENU. Go to the Preset Edit View. Make a Wah or Volume Pedal block (you can only have one per preset). Press the PAGE left/right buttons to the MENU. Select Controller Assign. Param = Psition Controller = EXP 1 Press the PAGE left/right buttons to the MENU. Select Bypass Assign. Switch = FS5 Type = Latching Press VIEW to exit the MENU. Save the Preset with the block off.
