The increased oversampling will not be coming to the POD Go. Eric Klein confirmed over on The Gear Page and on Facebook, I believe. The models in the POD Go were already optimized as much as they could be, so the processor can’t support this feature. I think there are some sonic differences with this feature, but they are not anything I’d put in the category of being a dealbreaker. I don’t think most people could hear the difference in a true blind A/B test... I think many of the reactions you see from people with the 3.10 update truly are a placebo effect. It has happened with every update.

Have you installed the 1.21 update? There was an acoustic sim model added.

The Helix works fine as an audio interface for me with Bug Sur on my M1 Mac Mini.

Seems strange indeed. What sort of guitar is it? Does it have active pickups, per chance?

There’s really no way to do it apart from getting a separate G10 receiver that you can put in front your first pedal. The amp doesn’t have an effects loop, so there’s no way to use external pedals while using the integral wireless receiver at the same time.

I’d say no, it’s not normal. Really can’t imagine why that would be the case unless you’re using a ludicrous amount of gain. But even then, you should be hearing differences from different pickups.

Yes, you just need to plug the G10 transmitter into the POD Go’s guitar in for 15 seconds or so and it will be set to the correct channel. Make sure you’re plugging into the guitar in and not just plugging it into the storage well. The storage well is, well, just that. It doesn’t do anything but offer a place to store the transmitter. The guitar in is where all the magic happens.

If you’re talking about something you bought from the Helix Marketplace, you can find it with the link pictured below.

All six commands are sent out when you load a preset and/or load a snapshot. Commands are only sent out per snapshot if the snapshot you're going to has a different value for a command than the one you're coming from (MIDI PCs would be the exception to this if you have the Duplicate PC Send setting to On in the Global Settings menu).

You can do this now. You can select different topologies and power amp configuration for each DT amp, and you can send separate amp or preamp models into each one. One DT will receive the left side and the other one will receive the right side.

How are you monitoring it?

If you have only a cable plugged into the left output jack, the signal will automatically be summed to mono.

The HX series stuff doesn’t really lend itself to global moves like this... You just need to add the FX Loop block in the presets where you need it.

Yes, if you bypass the block, it jut passes the signal through it, unaffected.

If you look at the DSP allocation charts that people have made for the Helix, this is pretty much the case. The EQs and Volume use almost no DSP. The wahs use a little more, but even if you deleted all three, it’s not like you’d be able to add another distortion, modulation or delay. Some of the compressors might work, but not all of them. You so get one block back with the POD GO versus the HX Effects in that there’s a noise gate on the input block. The HX Effects have that option. When the POD Go was first being designed, they thought there would only be three wild card blocks at one point. They had considered making the reverb block a fixed block as well. The only unit Line 6 has ever added more blocks to is the HX Stomp, and I think that’s kind of a special case. It’s also relatively easy hit the DSP limit before hitting eight blocks if you’re using it for amp and cab modeling. It’s not as easy for effects-only setups. The way I see it, any of the Helix/HX products can do effects-only setups really well. The POD Go is more limited, but it’s also like $150 less than the cheapest HX product. I think it’s fine that it can’t do everything the others do. It wasn’t meant to.

As long as you have the input pad off, that should give you unity gain (assuming you have all other blocks bypassed).

You have to hit the Mode footswitch to get back into Preset or Snapshot Mode, and from there you can hit the Bank Up and Down footswitches to get to where you want to be. It’s also possible to assign the HX Preset commands to footswitches in Stomp Mode should you want the ability to go to a certain preset directly.

It just sounds like you’re clipping the monitors’ inputs. Have you tried setting the Stomps outputs to instrument level opposed to line level?

All of the previous iterations of the POD have had semi-fixed DSP allocation to one extent or another. The HD series probably offered the most flexibility in that the only blocks that had to remain were the amp/cab block and the looper. The thing is that the wah, EQ, and volume blocks combined probably don’t even use 5% of the available DSP, so removing the, from the signal wouldn’t really allow much to be used in exchange - perhaps one of the lower DSP compressor models. There were also a lot of complaints from users with the DSP limit warning coming up. I think one thing Line 6 wanted to do was make it more rare for users to run into that. I really don’t expect to see changes to the basic signal flow architecture either. People don’t understand all the back and forth iterations and deliberations that already went into the design. There was a lot of optimization done to the modeling to get things to work the way they do now.

Yeah, well that was intentional... I believe I just increased the Feedback parameter so it went into self-oscillation.

There is a lot of randomness built into the model. If you leave the Delay Div set low, though, you can use the randomness in more musical ways. This is a piece I recorded with this model in the Helix a few months ago.

So how are you powering it?

The Helix Control will not work with the DT50. It only works as a remote for the Helix Rack. What is it you’re wanting to control on the DT50. The DT50 will respond to MIDI commands, and you can use a standard latching footswitch to switch channels, but it’s not a typical Line 6 amp in that you can hook up one of the Line 6 controllers to it. If you pair with the HD500(X) or Helix, you can, in a sense, use those products as a floor controller for the amp, but it’s really more of a hybrid rig where some audio processing is happening in the floorboard and some in the amp itself.

I'm afraid the Musician's Friend rep misled you. That's not typically how it works. All you should need to do is download and install Line 6 Monkey from here, and once you do that, connect your UX2 to your computer via USB, and start Monkey, and it will guide you the rest of the process for everything else you need to download. It will ask you to register your UX2 first. If you run into any problems, the best way to contact Line 6 is through a support ticket. You can open one here: https://line6.com/support/tickets/add.html
