I found another alternative for 13 € which meets the technical specs and those of the plug (5x5*2,1): https://www.reichelt.de/de/de/steckernetzteil-22-w-9-v-2-55-a-mw-gst25e09-p171097.html?PROVID=2788&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIy-Tm5Mak7AIVitwYCh3y8QBuEAYYAiABEgLaB_D_BwE&&r=1. I don’t know how good it is isolated against electromagnetic infiltration. And meanwhile myvolts answered: though the picture says center positive their database says center negative. If you buy one you’ll get the right one they say. The ps costs 12 € there..

Thomann just confirmed: it's the original L6 power supply for POD Go.

I inquired the original L6 PS and Thomann offered me a "SP1085784 Power Supply". Just to be sure I asked them to confirm that this is the inquired original L6 PS for POD Go. I assume it should be the right one. It's available and costs 49 €. I have not yet confirmed my order for my 1 unit because I await T's confirmation. After their confirmation I will order 1 unit for me. @pederlyng: if you are interested please write a Email to sc.kundenservice@thomann.de stating your customer number if you have one. Maybe T orders 2 units ...

I orderd the Thomann power supply and tested it. Unfortunately it doesn’t work. It makes noise you can hear through the PA. Maybe the reason is that: it’s printed on the device „For office equipment use only“. Useless for musical use for me. On the other hand the original L6 supply works absolutely silent. The other option was myvolts located in Dublin. Meanwhile there a 3 questions concerning center positive but no answers yet. If I test to answer on my own I am routed to Page 404. I decided not to buy there. The specs require 2,5 A. I am not sure if a power supply with only 2 A. will meet the technical needs. Maybe it works but to be sure I would ask L6 before I buy . So I inquired the original L6 device with Thomann. Price and time of delivery.

Thanks for your hint, penderlyng. I wrote an Email to myvolts and asked if either the specs wont fit or if the product picture is wrong. As soon as I get an answer I will inform you. I also asked Thomann (the biggest reseller in Europe). They offer a power supply for 18 bucks which should perfectly fit for POD Go as they told me: https://www.thomann.de/de/thomann_power_supply_uni_5_15v_dc_3a.htm. But one customer review criticized noise and hum. I asked Thomann about this, too. And I asked them for the price of an original L6 power supply for POD Go. It's obviously rather difficult to get a replacement.

This is what I will try in the near future. Don't know if it will be working noiseless. Costs 12 bucks and is for POD Go explicit. Meets the specs exactly. https://myvolts.de/product/45382/9V_Line-6_Effektpedal_Pod-GO_Netzteil_Ladegerat?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI0rrLrbSY7AIVBt-yCh1b2wLHEAQYBSABEgKrxvD_BwE

I should NOT open the Email link to answer a post when there meanwhile have arrived posts after that. Sorry I will correct my mistake now. @silverhead Thanks for your explanation. It made clear L6’s policy. I understand your intention. It’s confincing – I replaced my old rig with Pod Go. Great unit for sure. And easy to use even for as a guitarist. @crsistt and phil_m Thanks for your hints. Yes, the EQ solot is deactivated and set to none footswitch. It only exists as a picture in the signal chain. For a clean volume boost I set my volume pedal 70% min (rhythm) and 100% max (solo). This gives me a solo volume that works, at least with distored sounds. And I have the volume fully under control. I am also experimenting with the Kiky Boost directly after the cab slot. Drive 0, boost and bright on. I couldn't find e clean boost model with level control. It works for clean solos but is sometimes too loud for distorted sounds just because I can’t level it. Ok: I will create a preset with an EQ set neutral and only pushing the output level. I think every EQ model should fit, does it? I would place the EQ directly after the cab (just like the kinky boost) to avoid additional drive. Correct?

Thanks for your hints, voxman55. With my fresh Pod Go I indeed tried the EQs in some factory presets by activating/deactivating them. To my old ears the result was not very impressive, I could not hear any sigificant different in tone. That’s why I sked my EQ-slot question. On the other hand EQs are indispensable in a studio situation where they indeed play a outstanding role. But this will be done by the producer/sound engineer and not by the guitaist himself as far as I know. So no need for a fixed EQ neither. <smile> To me as a guitarist playing in a band the influence of the EQ is at best marginal in band context. I got my best sound results without any EQing. This sound is fresh, more natural and sits in the mix. The amp models are too good and don't need any EQ. The only thing I did - before using my Pod Go the first time in rehearsal - was to modify the global EQ setting. A low cut at 80 Hz should give more room to the bass man and the kick drum to avoid a muddiy band sound. I will check if a low cut at 100 or even 110/120 Hz even works better depending on the result. So this fixed EQ slot does not work for me definitely. Always deactivated. Worth for nothing. But maybe other Pod Go users are happy to have it.

10 years ago I had a Pod HD400 for a 30 days money back testing period. I liked the sound but I too often got a system overload warning when creating sounds. After about 1 week the usb connection failed to top it all. So I sent it money back. Since then I used a vave amp with an pedal board. For several reasons I would now like to replace my analog rig by a digital floor modeler. So I actually have a Pod Go again for 30 day money back at the moment. Don’t get me wrong: My Pod Go sounds really good even going direct into the band’s PA mixer. The handling concept is easy, perfect the multi coulour pedal board mode. The unit is robust and suitable for the stage. Until now I never got a system overload warning. The workmanship is a good compromise between light weight (plastic) and heavy weight (metal). So I will keep the Pod Go. It will be replace my old rig now. So far so good. For me an EQ is just a very ordinary FX. Some gitarists use it, others don’t - like me. So isnt't it up to the musision to decide to use an EQ or not? I have the PA mixer’s EQ, 6 PU positions on my guitar (and a tone knob, haha). And a rig behind me with adjusted EQ settings just beforehand. So for me it seems that this EQ slot is just an optical filler to enlarge the signal chain. If this fixed EQ slot is designed to avoid system overload then this concept works. I would have payed some bucks more if L6 had built in a stronger processor to make this slot flexible, too. I prefer sufficient processor power to fully be able to meet the offered sound design features. Maybe it's a compromise between pruduction cost an targeted market price point, don't know. Surely it is L6's decision as manufacturer alone to do so. If I buy a Pod Go I accept this strategy. But it doesn't mean that I as a user of age enjoys the concept behind it.

Hello voxman55 and phil_m, thanks for yor replies, they are very much appreciated. I know the processor overflow problem from POD HD. This was years ago and the reason why I didn't buy one, to be honest. Ok, if Pod Go’s processor power might reach its limit then I understand that a fixed EQ slot is safety measure.

As far as I know only L6 products directly used with a computer must be linked to an authorized computer. Eg my Toneport UX1 is listed with my computers in "authorized device" in my account while my Pod Go is considered as a "registered product". In case I did everything right during the installation and registration process ...

Hello L6ers, as I’m just starting with my new Pod Go there is a really big point I really don’t understand. If I load a new preset to create one from scratch there is always 1 slot occupied with an EQ. I cannot load another FX into it, I only can deactivate it. It’s always there as a „must have“ and reduces the flexibility of sound design in my opinion. Before buying a Pod Go I tried the Hotone Ampero in AB comparison. Its editor does not have such restrictions and is more flexible for 100 bucks less. So Hotone proved: it's possible to offer multi purpose slots without any restriction. Is this a bug? Or at least a known issue? Will this be fixed with a future firmware update? Is there a secret trick to solve this EQ-slot problem? If not: can somebody please explain what L6 wanted to achieve with such a strong restriction? Thanks in advance for your kind help.

Hi cristt, thanks for your help. Indeed the standard directory is POD Go Edit's installation folder, in my case C:/Programme (X86)/Line6/POD Go Edit. I installed POD Go Edit as suggested by the L6 installation routine. All my audio projects are on a separate disk. It’s not a question of space but of file management and data safety. In my Cubase DAW eg I can simply change the directory once and it works for the future. So do I in many other apps . I hoped to do this with POD Go Edit as well but it obvoiously doesn’t work. Thanks for your hints: the first I did after buying my Pod Go was a complete backup. And from then on I save every changed preset on my PC. I am no PC guru so I shy away from changing anything within the operation system or registry. I think it it easier to hope on L6 for a further Pod Go Edit software update. Haha!

Hi Line6ers, as far as I came to know PodGo Edit is of the opinion that there is only 1 suitable standard directory on any PC worldwide where presets should be saved into. But I want to save my presets on disk D instead of disk C and into a special directory there. I could not find any option to permanently change the location target. Does anybody in this forum know the secret how to do this? Thanks in advance

Oh yeah: giant sounds need giant dongles.

Thanks for you comment. Unfortunately I have no laptop but a well equipped pc in my office. I don’t see to buy a laptop just to compensate missing features of just 1 software I use. I fully am with you regarding Pod Go Edit's use without having a Pod Go plugged in considered as absolutely necessary.. Maybe it’s because the developers couldn’t imagine using Pod Go Edit eg just for a quick checkup of the sound design. Things are as they always are with Line6 and I fear they would not change in the near future.

Thanks for your answer. Yes, I'm out of luck.

Hello Line6ers, my Pod Go is in the rehersal room. Pod Go Edit is installed on my desktop pc at home. If I want to load presets - eg to check components - I constantly have to transport my Pod Go back and forth. Is there any way to do this in a much more comfortable and easier way? Thanks for your help.
