Hi ! After updating to PG Edit 2.0 I could not connect to my account via the program whereas I could access my account directly on Line6 website. So, I could not update firmwares properly. I recently got a laptop with Windows 10/11. My regular machine is running Windows 7 pro. I installed PG Edit on the new laptop and it logs in to my account without any problem. Don't know if the problem is Windows-version related or if it's just how my Windows-Seven computer is set up, but if You are getting the same problem with older OSs it might be the reason. I also have a computer running W8.1 and it seems to work. The rest of PG Edit functions works without any problem. Bye. Jay

Hi, In the rehearsal room, I use my Pod Go through a Harley Benton GPA-100 that I plug into the 4x12 available there. The sound is ok but it lacks power because the power amp wants a +4dBu line level signal. In this situation I output my sound from the Amp Out jack. I can't use the main outputs because I tap the sound before the emulated cab. I was thinking about placing a preamp between the PG and the power amp to raise its level somewhat. Has anyone here ever tried to plug the Pod Go into an ART tube mp and into a power amp or mixer ? How does it sound ? Having the possibility to activate/deactivate cabs globally would be so much easier. I don't understand why Line6 won't add this feature. Cheers. Jay

I've been editing the PG with my usual USB cable for about an hour and it's working without any problem, as it has always worked. What would be the link between USB and the fact that edit cannot reach L6 server ? Doesn't make sense. Besides, I tried on another machine W10 equipped and it still fails to log to my account (can't reach server"). The internet connection is solid, I also can log in to my accound if I go straight to L6 website. Cheers. Jay

Hi ! As it worked flawlessly before and as I have changed nothing on the machine (not installed anything, not changed a hardware part), it is definitely not machine-related. Edit works as it has always worked on the same usb port as before. Whatever... Cheers. Jay

Hi ! Updates are more and more difficult to make. Is it me only or do other people experience that ? Updating the Pod Go via PG Edit used to be a 3-minute task, but since version 1.5, I have never been able to connect to my account via the editor (I can connect without any problem directly on L6 website). Therefore, I now always have to download the firmware and update offline using L6 updater. Also, when trying to download HXF files I always get the XML error or the "just a rectangle at the top" page. Even, the last update 2.01 was a problem. After updating, I got a window saying that it was downloading important files with a white screen and a "continue" button at the bottom. After clicking this button, L6 updater wanted to update with firmware 1.49b2 or whatever. I thought I'd bricked the Pod Go as it was still saying "Updating...". Switched it off and on and fortunately it booted on 2.01. This is really getting annoying. So much so that I might get a unit from another maker. Cheers. Jay

Hi ! I own a PC112+ that I mostly use in speaker emulation mode and also an "old" Spider Valve 112. I use them with a Pod Go (when using the Spider Valve I plug into the power amp in). I like the sound of both. For gigging small venues (guitar amps not miked up, only voices, keyboards and kick/snare are going into the PA), which one do you think will be the loudest. It seems to me the Spider Valve is extremely powerful compared to the PC112+ (with which I optimize the input level so that the orange LED lights up, so it should give me its full 250 watts of power). What's your point of view ? Cheers. Jay

Hi ! Does anyone know if there's a chart somewhere pertaining rhe Go's output levels in dBU ? For example, when set to line at full volume, what is the max output level of the Main out jack ? Cheers. Jay

Hi, When setting output level of an emulated speaker it affects both the physical loudspeaker output AND the XLR output. This is really annoying. Here's the scenario. You want to use the PC as your amplifier with a speaker emulation and get the signal from the XLR ouput to front of house with the speaker emulation. If you don't want to overload the mixer's input you have to lower the output level of the preset (whether you set the PC to output mike ou line level doesn't change anything). Problem : the output of the physical speaker is too low on stage. Now, if you increase the output of the preset to have more volume from the speaker, the signal from XLR is far too hot and the FOH sound is distorted. Same problem with the low/high cut. If you have too many highs from the speaker and engage high cut, then the sound in front of house lacks highs. Why didn't they implement independent settings for the XLR output so that it only affects the emulated output ? The way it works is stupid ! Cheers. Jay

Hi ! If it were a real rig, having effects after the cab would be like having them on the mixer, as send or insert effects. If you goal is to get the sound of an amp miked up without any effect added by the sound guy, put everything before the cab. This is what I do on stage, as if my cab was just miked up with a simple microphone. When recording it's different, you may want stereo effects. In that case, the "console" effects would come after the cab. Cheers. Jay

Hi ! I got the one at Myvolts. It comes with an adapter to reverse the polarity and it does work BUT it generates some noise. It would be ok as a backup just to finish a gig, in case of, but not more. I told Myvolts aboutnthat and they refunded me. Cheers.

Hi ! What I've been wishing since I got my PG is the ability to switch the cab block on/off globally. But I'm afraid it will never come. Having to create two sets of patches is a real PITA. Cheers.

Hi, Jad the problem with 4 different computer using the supplied cable. Did not work. Got a new quality shielded 4-meter cable......it works perfectly with the same 4 computers. Si, yes, the supplied cable is crap ! Cheers. Jay

Hi! I had the same problem when I first got my PG and thought I'd solved it by using a powered usb hub. But I recently had the same problem again with all my computers. I eventually got a good shielded usb cable.......no more problem. So the conclusion is that the cable Line6 provide is pure crap. When getting such a product it is not acceptable. Cheers. Jay

Hi ! What is the maximum output level (in dBU at 0dBFS) that POD GO can produce when main output and/or amp out are set to line and instrument ? Thanks.

Hi, It's my own request on Ideascale, so, already upvoted ;o) Cheers Jay
