Hello everyone, I have a Fractal EV-2 expression pedal that uses a TRS exp output which I’d like to use with the HX Effects. From what I’ve gathered online, this can be done using a TRS-TS cable that is wired in a specific way, perhaps with the connectors inside the plug shorted? I am not good with electronics, so am hoping someone who is might be able to provide either a diagram or the right wording to communicate this properly to whoever I’ll get to build the cable. Many thanks!

All good! The cab at the end of the chain reduces the signal to mono, but the blocks themselves are still stereo, which is more DSP intensive. As far as I know there's no auto switching between mono/stereo blocks to save on DSP if you end up with a mono signal chain. The same effect can be seen in the HX line, where you can select all stereo blocks and put a single cab at the end of the chain. Your effects will all come out mono, but the blocks are processing a stereo signal right up until it hits the cab block. Hence why the HX line provides the option to select between mono and stereo blocks for most effects. Does that make sense? Actually quite difficult to explain without visuals!

I'm sure I'm not alone in only using mono fx (cab always at the end of the chain), but all Pod Go blocks are fixed at stereo. Love tracking in stereo but Pod Go is very much a live tool for me, which seems resonate with its design. Implementing the HX method of having the option to choose would see immediate DSP gains for anyone choosing mono, and I'm sure would then make certain fx combinations possible that are currently very difficult (Elephant Man with the Dynamic Plate for example). No doubt Line 6 considered this in the design and opted for simplicity, however the DSP ceiling is just so easy to hit and a lot of the favourite HX blocks are pretty heavy... Any other predominantly mono users out there?

Yes thank you, the reason I'm questioning this is that the backup from my affected unit essentially induced the problem into the demo unit that was working perfectly well.

Hi all, Have been dealing with the input impedance issue for some time on my Pod Go Wireless, which I had reasonably assumed was a hardware issue on a bad batch but have recently changed my mind. My unit was sent off for repair by the store I bought it from, returned with no fault found so we set it up for some testing using the affected unit, a demo unit, and an HX Stomp all running the same exact amp and cab model, nothing else. The demo unit and the HX Stomp sounded identical. My affected unit had the obvious high end roll off that it did before. We then updated the firmware on the demo unit and restored it from my backup. On plugging them back in, the demo unit now has the impedance issue on all its patches, exactly the same as mine. What’s weirder is this persisted even after doing a factory reset and rolling the firmware back to 1.3… extremely unusual. I had one or two patches in the backup where the JSON files were edited to gain one extra block, is it possible that this isn’t as safe as many had thought? General consensus seemed to be that the risks of anything leaking to hardware or firmware were very low, however this has me concerned. Or is a corrupted backup file possible having gone through many update processes? Any thoughts appreciated, I’m communicating this with Line 6/Yamaha in Australia to try and get this identified and sorted out. Missing the unit!

Has there been any news on adding the ability to copy blocks between Pod Go Edit and HX Edit/Helix Native? Pod Go is my main live tool but I spend a lot of time using the HX Stomp too for various applications, and always Helix Native for recording. Comping together a quick preset on the Pod Go off of the blocks I've already dialed in would be the dream, short of full preset conversions... !

Hi everyone, HX Stomp owner here, I've just set myself up with a battery power method for my stomp and am wondering if any Pod Go owners can give their opinion on whether it could be mounted in the space underneath the unit? The battery pack I'm using is linked below: Anker PowerCore Select 20000, 20000mAh Portable Charger with 2 USB-A Ports, Light and Portable Power Bank, PowerIQ 2.0 18W External Battery with MultiProtect and VoltageBoost : Amazon.com.au: Electronics Very keen to get myself a pod, and if this works I'll be very happy about it! Cheers

Same behaviour here using TRS on both ends.
