Does anyone have any ideas about this?

Hello! I purchased a Sonicake dual footswitch to pair with my POD Express. It comes with a TRS cable, and I changed the POD Express global settings to work with it: Setting 3 (Volume Jack) set to white (FS3/FS4) Setting 6 (FS3) to blue (mod on/off) Setting 7 (FS4) to green (delay on/off) Despite these changes, the Sonicake still acts like a single footswitch, turning the "On" button on and off, with no other functionality. Does anyone have experience with or a solution for this? Thanks!

Hello! I have a POD Go and POD Express and wondering what people use for amplification when using models. I recently played a Powercab and just loved it, but FRFRs are pretty expensive compared to PAs. (Edit: I'm under the impression that an FRFR is a PA with a flat EQ and other functionality but not sure if this is just marketing). Does anyone have experience using something like this in the context of playing with other people (rehearsals, indoor/outdoor gigs, etc.)? If so, what would you recommend? Thanks!

That's wacky!

For anyone following this topic, I experimented with several different analog pedals, either in front of the POD Go or in the FX loop, depending on the appropriate use case. These included the Xotic EP, SP, and Super Clean, and a Keeley Mini Comp. None of them made an appreciable difference in the output, although they're certainly great quality and do what they say on the box. I particularly liked the sound of the Keeley (and the EP was too dark for my tastes). I did resolve an issue that was affecting the POD Go's overall sound, where some very nice commenters pointed out that I had the Master volume on my amps all the way up, which was essentially getting in the way of my tones. My main guitar has a broken volume pot/knob and is stuck at 10, so it was driving the amps too hard and making everything sound muddy. I'm not against trying some other analog pedals or dropping one in for a specific tone (or to save DSP), but I also didn't find anything to suggest that having one improves the POD Go's sounds altogether just by being there.

I tried this and quite liked it!

Ah you're totally right, I was conflating the metronome and other output from the DAW with the software monitoring issue. Thanks for helping me to see this!

I am...or at least I think I should be. I have the POD Go Edit software installed and the POD Go shows up as per normal on my DAW. Honestly, I was just trying to do software monitoring so that I could use my DAW's metronome and have everything line up properly for the base track. I'll just do as you suggested. Thanks for weighing in!

Eh, I just tried an external EP boost with my POD Go and didn't love the results. Mind you, everyone swears by the Xotic EP, but it just seemed to darken my tones without adding the warmth I was looking for. It sounded OK on some of the chimey-er amps like Matchless, but added too much low end on others like Friedman. YMMV.

Hi all, I'm attempting to use my POD Go as an audio interface and encountering significant latency when monitoring via DAW (I'm on PC). I previously solved for this issue with my PreSonus interface using its hardware/software monitoring blend knob, but I haven't found a way to do this with the POD Go. Is such a thing possible? Or does someone have another solution for reducing latency with software monitoring? Thanks very much!

Great to hear! I could use that block for something else, too!

Thanks! Actually, my device was manufactured after the fix so it doesn't have that impedance issue.

Hi all, I've read that putting an analog boost pedal in front of digital multi-effects processers like the POD Go, Helix, etc. can do wonders for improving the overall tone. Additionally, the person that sold me my POD Go suggested putting a simple buffer--even just a tuner--in front of it for a similar reason. Does anyone have any experience with this? If so, are there certain pedals (or types of pedals) that you'd recommend? Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi all, I'm curious whether it's possible to plug the POD Go directly into an Android phone via USB, or if such a thing is not currently supported. I get too much latency plugging my audio interface into my PC (even after messing with things like block size), and have had better results plugging the interface into my phone's mobile DAW for recording. I've tried to do the same with the POD Go but the phone doesn't seem to recognize it. Thanks for any suggestions!
