If the Catalyst fails to update: Power down the amp and close the Updater app. Open the Updater again, then power up the Catalyst while holding A and B to put the unit into bootloader mode. You will then need to manually select the correct Catalyst product from three choices presented by the Updater. Select the latest firmware version, then accept the Terms and Conditions.

POD Go 1.21 (released March 25, 2021) includes new amps, new cabs, new effects, and bug fixes and is recommended for all POD Go and POD Go Wireless users. POD Go 1.22 (released June 1, 2021) includes G10T and G10T II wireless transmitter updating from POD Go Wireless and additional important bug fixes: Full support for macOS 11 Big Sur Global Settings > Ins/Outs > Guitar In Pad would not be remembered across power cycles—FIXED Clicking tap tempo from within POD Go Edit for an extended period of time could sometimes cause POD Go to freeze—FIXED In POD Go Edit, the EQ > Acoustic Sim block did not display an X icon to delete the block—FIXED How do I update to 1.22? STEP 1—Install POD Go Edit 1.22 FIRST! Log onto line6.com, download, and install POD Go Edit 1.22: macOS: https://line6.com/software/readeula.html?rid=10571 Windows 7/8/10: https://line6.com/software/readeula.html?rid=10572 STEP 2—Update POD Go/POD Go Wireless AFTER Installing POD Go Edit 1.22 Shut down any programs that use audio or connect to your POD Go device, like DAWs, iTunes, Spotify, video games, etc. Disable the sleep timer on your computer. The update will fail if your computer goes to sleep during the process. If you are using a laptop, plug it in, or ensure it has enough battery life to complete the update without shutting down. Connect POD Go or POD Go Wireless to your Mac or PC via USB and turn it on. Launch POD Go Edit 1.22. Click the gear at the bottom of the window, then click "Check for Updates". Log into your Line 6 account. A dialog panel appears, reading "An update is available for your POD Go. Would you like to update now?" Click "Update now." POD Go Edit asks if you want to create a backup of your existing user presets. Click "OK" and then "Create Backup." Once the backup is completed, click "OK." Carefully read the End User License Agreement (haaa hahaha!) and click "OK." Click "Update." Please keep POD GO Edit in focus throughout the entire update. Once the update is complete, POD Go restarts automatically. Click "Back to POD Go Edit". New Amps in 1.21 US Princess, based on* the Fender® Princeton Reverb Das Benzin Mega, based on* the Mega channel of the Diezel VH4 Das Benzin Lead, based on* the Lead channel of the Diezel VH4 New Cabs in 1.21 1x10 US Princess, based on* the Fender® Princeton Reverb cab 1x12 US Princess, based on* the Fender® Princeton Reverb with a 12" Alnico Blue driver New Effects in 1.21 Distortion > Horizon Drive, based on* the Horizon Devices Precision Drive. Includes an extra Gate Range parameter that, when set to "Extended," drops the gate's threshold down to -90dB Distortion > Swedish Chainsaw, based on* the BOSS® HM-2 Heavy Metal Distortion (Made in Japan black label) Distortion > Pocket Fuzz, inspired by* the Jordan Boss Tone fuzz Distortion > Bighorn Fuzz, based on* the 1973 Electro-Harmonix® Ram's Head Big Muff Pi Distortion > Ballistic Fuzz, based on* the Euthymia ICBM fuzz Dynamics > Horizon Gate, based on* the Horizon Devices Precision Drive's gate circuit. Includes an extra Gate Range parameter that, when set to "Extended," drops the gate's threshold down to -90dB. Works best before an amp EQ > Acoustic Sim, based on* the BOSS® AC-2 Acoustic Simulator. Includes an extra Shimmer parameter that imparts some motion to the harmonics, reminiscent of how a string's vibration tends to affect the other strings. Just like the original, works best with single-coil pickups. Can be used alone or in conjunction with an acoustic IR Delay > Glitch Delay, Line 6 Original performance delay that lets you freely manipulate the repeats' behavior in real-time Time—Sets the delay time; press the knob to toggle between ms/sec and note values Delay Div—Divides the delay time into smaller increments Mix—Controls the wet/dry mix of the delay. When set to 0%, no delay is heard; when set to 100%, no dry signal is heard Feedback—Controls the overall number of repeats heard for the entire sequence SliceFdbk—Controls the number of repeats heard for individual slices. At higher values, you could call this "Super Chaotic Feedback" Shuffle—Determines the likelihood of repeats shuffling/reordering Octaves—Determines the likelihood of repeats playing back an octave higher or lower Reverse—Determines the likelihood of repeats playing backward Seq Drift—Determines the likelihood of the entire sequence changing every time it loops around. When set to 0%, the same sequence loops forever. TIP: Assign this parameter to a footswitch set to toggle between a higher number and 0%. If you hear a random sequence you want to maintain, press the switch to set Seq Drift to 0%, and it'll repeat that way indefinitely Smoothing—Higher values apply smoothing between slices and can give a synth-pad type quality, lower values maintain transients. Or set it just high enough to avoid pops and clicks Trails—When on, delay repeats continue to ring out after the block is bypassed *NOTE: All product names used in this document are trademarks of their respective owners and neither Yamaha Guitar Group nor Line 6 are associated or affiliated with them.

Changes and Improvements in 1.21 Support for macOS 11 Big Sur Audio communication is now more stable when using the class-compliant driver in macOS EQ > Low/High Shelf's High Freq parameter now goes down to 400Hz Bug Fixes in 1.21/1.22 With an external expression pedal connected, EXP 1 and EXP 2 could become swapped under certain conditions—FIXED If Global Settings > Switches/Pedals > Snapshot Mode is set to "Auto Return" and Up/Down Switches is set to "Presets," pressing Up or Down would not correctly exit Snapshot mode In rare cases, attempting to swap footswitches (by holding two stomps) while the model list or preset list was open could result in a freeze–FIXED In rare cases, audio could be lost after updating via Line 6 Updater. Updating via POD Go Edit would not exhibit this behavior—FIXED In some cases, after exiting 6 Switch Looper mode, stomp switch LEDs could fail to light properly until pressed—FIXED In rare cases, snapshot selection could not properly recall a block's bypass/enable state—FIXED Dynamics > LA Studio Comp's level could drop if placed after an input boost, which is then toggled on and off—FIXED In some cases, None and Looper categories in the model list could fail to update the display—FIXED In some cases, pressing the expression pedal toe switch could not properly bypass/enable assigned blocks—FIXED With very low Delay settings, Pitch/Synth > Simple Pitch and Dual Pitch could exhibit metallic artifacts—FIXED A minor pop could be heard when selecting different IRs while signal was present—FIXED In rare cases, restoring from a backup could sometimes cause the unit to freeze—FIXED In some cases, selecting a preset would not properly recall the active expression pedal (EXP 1 or EXP 2)—FIXED Importing IRs immediately after launching POD Go Edit could sometimes result in an error message—FIXED Transmitting MIDI CC60 or CC61 to control POD Go's looper could sometimes cause POD Go to freeze—FIXED When Global Settings > Switches/Pedals > FS Auto Assign was set to "Off," selecting a different effect category could sometimes cause the footswitch to display the previous category's color—FIXED Various graphical glitches—FIXED Many other minor fixes and improvements New in 1.22 POD Go Wireless can now update a connected G10T and G10T II wireless transmitter from POD Go Edit New in 1.22 Full support for macOS 11 Big Sur New in 1.22 Global Settings > Ins/Outs > Guitar In Pad would not be remembered across power cycles—FIXED New in 1.22 Clicking tap tempo from within POD Go Edit for an extended period of time could sometimes cause POD Go to freeze—FIXED New in 1.22 In POD Go Edit, the EQ > Acoustic Sim block did not display an X icon to delete the block—FIXED Known Issues in 1.22 Importing a .WAV file into the current empty slot of an Impulse Response block can cause POD Go to stop passing audio. WORKAROUND: Select a different IR and then reselect the new one; audio should resume
