Well after rooting around here to find an answer I found none. What I'm trying to do is use the POD Go in the fx loop on an amp. I'm NOT using the POD Go guitar input but rather merely hooking up the fx loop with the amp's fx loop as you would treat the POD Go like it was just a pedal. Is it not possible to send a guitar signal out of the amp, into the RETURN jack and SEND the POD Go processed sound back out the SEND jack to the amp? I've tried global settings to instrument and line and nothing changes. I did find a guy's page who mentions the 2 cable method, just send/return to send/return. Obviously the way the PodGO is set up it's not working. The chain is set up similar to the attached pic, except that all 4 fx slots are in front of the loop, the amp, cabs and eq are all after and turned off. Effects loop is set as you see it in the pic. If set up like the pic, I get no sound. The Amp is a Katana, set to SERIES. As it appears the Katana is sending out the preamp signal to the POD Go, the POD Go isn't set up correctly apparently although visually as it's set up it makes sense. Ideally I'd like to separate the "fx loop" itself so the return goes in front of the 2 pedals and 4 fx slots and the send after them but that's not how it works apparently. Not interested in 4 cable method btw.

There are a few others out there who seem to have figured this out, that information can be found elsewhere. There are also a couple YouTube videos detailing the fix for this design issue. Some users have mentioned this issue to Line6 and apparently they will issue call tags and have you send the unit back to them to correct. One user detailed that when they personally took their unit in for the repair it only took a couple minutes. They also advised that they were not told what the fix is as the service center was authorized Line 6 and allegedly told the user they could not divulge what the fix is. Whether or not the YouTube videos are actually showing what the true fix is remains debatable as there is no confirmation from any actual line 6 dealer or service center. Videos could be from techs who perform the repair but who knows. The repair performed does make sense when you see what it is but I would not suggest attempting this kind of service unless your unit is OUT of warranty or you have the skills, tools and ability to perform the correction. I'd suggest getting hold of Line6 and advising them of your issue and see if they will repair it for you. Good luck!
