Hi, Unfortunately, it's the same with all brands. Flagship products get all the attention. I have found a bug in which expression pedal positions are swapped (exp1 gets the value of pedal2 position and vice versa) when loading a preset when exp pedals are set to "global value". Makes the option useless if you want to have a constant volume position for example. I just cannot believe that they haven't noticed and fixed it yet.......probably too busy wanting to add yet again so many more amps and effects that nobody will use....... Cheers. Jay

I'm afraid noone understands the problem. Try to do what I wrote above, you'll understand. Pedal polarity does not change anything. You can actually experience the bug without an external pedal. Assign volume to exp1, toe down to switch to exp2, move ex2 to, let's say, around mid-range, then reload preset. The volume, which was at 100% goes to where exp2 was left. Cheers. Jay

Hi, I identified an important bug. When setting expression pedals to "global" if you want to keep the same volume position from preset to preset, it doesn't work. When switching to another preset, the positions of expression pedals are SWAPPED. Try the following : 1) set each expression pedal to global. 2) assign one pedal to volume and the other one to wah, for example. 3) save your preset 4) put one pedal heel down and the other one toe down. One parameter is now at 100% and the other one at 0% 5) reload preset by depressing footswitch The values are swapped !!!!! The one that was 100% becomes 0% and the other way round. Basically, when switching presets, Pod Go software swaps the position of both pedals. So the global function is unusable. Where can we report bugs to Line6 ? Cheers. Jay

Hi again, It might be a bug and have nothing to do with the external pedal make. I have a preset in which exp1 controls delay level and exp2 is assigned to volume. I set volume to 100% and then push the toe switch to turn to exp1. Exp1 controls delay level, no problem, it does not control volume, Everything is ok. Now I leave the pedal half way and reload the preset (depressing footswitch).....volume goes to 45/50% without touching the pedal (it was at 100%). Unless there is something I'm not setting properly, this seems to be some kind of bug. Cheers Jay

Hi, I've got an old Korg volume/expression pedal (KVP01) that works perfectly with the POD Go, BUT there is a strange behaviour. I set exp2 to control volume and exp1 to control another parameter. Evrything works perfectly. Now I set pedal positions to "global" because I'd like to keep the position of the pedals when I switch presets. Now that's strange : everytime I switch presets (or just depress the preset footswitch to reload it), the value of the external pedal is moved to where pedal1 is. For example, I set external pedal to 64% volume and toe down internal pedal.......now I reload preset or choose another one........volume goes to 100%. If I heel down internal pedal, it does the same but at 0%, or whatever position it is in. I tried with an M-audio Ex-p. Same thing. It does rhe same thing if I switch functions between both pedals. I tried everything. I even modified the ex-p to be only TS, but still same thing. Please, could someone with the "official" line6 ex1 have a go and tell us if it behaves the same. In this case it would mean it is a PG software bug. As it is, I have to leave both pedals on position by preset. Not satisfactory if I want to use the volume as a "master" volume. Not easy to explain, I hope I made myself clear in explaining the problem. Thanks. Jay

I had the same problem at first. Finally used a powered hub to plug PG to computer.......problem solved. Cheers Jay

Hi, I beg your pardon ? Sorry, I didn't understand the meaning of your comment, can you elaborate, please ? Jay

I have done so, already, but, god, what is this antediluvian interface they have at ideascale ? A simple features request page would be so much better. We cannot do a lot except waiting, anyway. Cheers Jay

Hi, So, no flexibility improvements then. Most users don't care about more effects and amps, they want more functionalities. Again, one example is the possibility to turn cabs on/off globally and to be able to choose if we turn it on/off on the main output and/or on the amp out. The way we can tap the amp out signal before or after the cab is unusable when gigging. You send the main outputs to FOH with cab on and stereo effects, and if you want to send the amp out to an amp on stage for monitoring you can't turn off cab, you can only tap the signal before the cab.........it means no effects in your monitoring. Cheers. Jay

Hi, Helix-for-the-rich products have had a big firmware update with 3.0. I understand that Pod Go won't get this kind of improvements but, anyway, when are we getting a new firmware ? Waiting for ability to shut CABS on/off globally, and possibly only on the amp out as a whole, not just tapping it before/after the cab sim. I have to double every single preset, one with cab on, one without cab on. That's annoying. Cheers. Jay

Hi ! Thanks. This is how I already do, but......dark yellow and bright yellow leds.....are they serious ? It looks exactly the same in the dark (or not). I mostly use the screen anyway, but wanted to know the default colours. Cheers. Jay

Hi ! I have a problem with colour recognizing (especially with low light or - on the other end - heavy light) and I have difficulties asserting if ledrings are green for delays and yellow for EQs, or even for distortions/overdrives. To me they all seem to be green. Can someone tell me the default colours for each type of effects ? And, do you think we'll ever have the possibility to change these colours ? Thanks. Jay

Hi ! After struggling for the whole week-end against pod go edit losing connection continually, trying every possible usb port on my three computers, trying several cables, reading everywhere that the Pod Go should not be plugged on a hub or in the front panel ports, on the verge of buying yet another cable........I ended up plugging it into a powered 4-port hub that I've had for many years and had not used for many yeats too. And guess what..........working consistently now ! No more "no device connected" message. Plus, I can now leave the Pod Go next to my amp and use a 3m cable to link it to my computer for editing. Thought some users might want to know that. In case they struggle like I did. Cheers Jay

Hi, Ok, I figured it out. Light colours are for non Helix effects , it seems. Cheers Jay

Hi, There are two colour shades in the effects listing tables of the manual. Bright/Pale colour. Is there a meaning to this ? I also noticed that some emulated devices are doubled : onconce in the bright listing, once in the pale listing. Is there a reason for this ? Thanks. Jay

Hi nprenger ;o) That's a clear answer, indeed ! I'll just carry on using my amp as is and if I ever happen to experience the problem I'll just add a heatsink and if it doesn't cure the problem......I'll just get another amp or use it as a power amp only. Thanks a lot. Jay

Hi ! I've had my SV MK1 with SVPre for 5 years (I wrote quite a few messages on the old forums at the time of the release of the SVPre) and have never experienced the problem either, hence my question on another thread to know if anyone knows for sure if the problem arises on ALL SVMK1s or if it is completely random and only arose on some batches. True that I have mostly played it at home at a somewhat low volume, but I have gigged a few times with it and never had the problem. So, am I just lucky or is it just a question of time before it happens ? Thanks. Jay

Hi ! Obviously, my English is not good enough. I said I haven't experienced this problem so far (have had the amp for 5 years). I just wanted to know if it would happen for sure at some point, that's all. No, I didn't do anything wrong when installing the SVPre. Just forget about my first post, I'll just carry on living my life......and using my SV that's working normally so far.......

Hi ! Of course not ! Do you seriously think that L6 will admit that there is a "by-design" problem with the first generation of SVs ? I don't think so. If they were to do that, they would have to call all the amps for free servicing. But, again, outside L6 (among users), does anyone know if this problem is to happen on all MK1 SVs of if it will happen on only certain batches of units. If you don't know the answer to this question, please, just say it and that's all. Anyway, I'll just carry on using it the way I do and if it lollipops the bed at some point, I'll just open and try to fix it. But I would have liked to know... Thanks. Jay

Hi ! I know that there is a problem with MK1 SVs and I know about the possible fix (does it work in the long run ?), but what I want to know is if anyone said that it is with ALL MK1 SVs or only a certain amount. If it was with all MK1s I guess L6 should have changed the mainboard for ALL users, free of charge, under waranty or not. That would have been the least thing to do. But, of course they won't admit it if it is a systematic problem (even if it is indeed systematic). So, it does not answer the question :) Cheers. Jay

And.....? Sorry, but it doesn't answer my question....... Does anyone know if it is systematic or completely random. Are all SVs experiencing the problem or not ? Cheers. Jay

Hi there, Wow, long long time wothout posting here ;o) I am still the owner of a mark 1 SV 112 and still hppy with it. I never experienced the overheating DSP problem leading to neverending ressting of the amp, but it is true that I seldom used it at high volume for long periods of time. I only gigged twice with it and have played it in my personal home studio at home mostly. What I would have liked to know is if this problem is systematic with MK1 SVs or if it is completely random. I mean, have there been random series that have the problem and others that don't have it ? I have the Strymon SVPre that I installed when it came out and the DSP board is, it seems, the first make (Revision A from 2007). So far, I have never experienced the problem. If I ever do, I'll try to fix it with a heatsink on the overheating areas of the board, but I'd really like to know if this is a randomly happening problem. If not, I might have just got a series without the flaw and I'll be glad about it ;o) Thanks a lot for your answers. Jay
