Well, this iS FRUSTRATING. Out of the blue, my PGW won't boot. And it happened 30 mins. before showtime at a very important gig for my band. It was working like a clock before this. I've been to every post in this forum, written by people who's been through this already (using the Updater to go from 1.21 on -will stay stuck in ANY version- until the process crashes on 2.00, etc.). NOTHING HAS WORKED FOR ME. When I got in touch with the tech dept. to start a ticket, I get options that will lead me to buy a brand new unit instead, between shipping, the "minimum bench fee of $45" PLUS the parts (call it anywhere between a RAM stick and a new motherboard)... Of course I find this ABUSIVE, being that the same problem has been lurking for some time now, and through many different users here. This is complete BS! So, if ANYBODY around here has found any other way to do this before I offer my almost mint unit for parts or just throw it to the waste can, please let me know! BTW, here's a pic of the unit. Has been stuck like this since last night, and and after turning it off and on a thousand times (which was also recommended -?-)... Thanks in advance. Mon C.

I did something cool and thought I would share. There was not a lot of info floating around because who take an all-in-one kinda thing and puts it on a pedalboard? The pedalboard i bought is a Gator Cases large aluminum pedalboard. The pedalboard is really nice quality, has a made in the US sticker on it. It comes with a decent soft case that has a lid with some stiff material that will provide some protection to the top knobs/buttons. THe pedalboard has rubber feet that are raised up a bit and can have a power cable sneak out underneath the board. There is a clamp on the bottom to mount a power supply and my small one fit with plenty of room. If I could, I would change the holes to be larger or differenter because it was hard to get things lined up and still have the connectors go down into the holes. The power supply I have is made from Sweet Foot Pedals (look at my post history for the exact model). It has an output for the POD GO/HX and 3 "normal" outputs for more pedals. The power supply has worked good for me so far and eliminates the stupid wall warts. I made an input/output box with 3 pairs of jacks wired together. I used some special switchcraft washers to isolate the grounds for each jack so no ground loops will appear. I wired the left side of the box to the input side of my Drop pedal, and POD Go amp and main out. WHen I set up, I just plug guitar and amp/pa into the glittery silver box. The box is a plain aluminum pedal case with holes drilled in it and then sprayed with home depot glitter paint and a ton of clear coat. I'll prolly make some cooler labels for it. I used Ernie Ball ribbon style patch cables for most of the wiring. They have real small heads on them that worked nice with the pedals and pedalboard. I also tried some of those diy patch cables with "pancake" heads and they did not work with my drop pedals because the slots on the pedalboard are weird/small/angled. The POD Go and pedals are attached with the velcro material that came with the pedalboard. I'll see how it works out. I needed to remove the rubber feet from the POD Go to get it low enough. Another alternative would be to add a 1/8" thick plywood bottom to POD go (without the feet) and attach it with screws into the rubber feet. Then use bolts/wingnuts to attach the plywood to pedalboard.

Hi, I performed the 2.0 update on a newly purchased Pod Go pedalboard. During the installation the pedalboard stopped and froze on the power screen. Also by connecting it to the computer via USB it is not sensed by the computer. I have tried pressing C and D at the same time to reset, but it does not work. How should I proceed?

I have a POD Go and use it with an external pedal. Is there a power supply I can purchase that will power the POD Go and a couple pedals? I think I've seen some expensive power supplies, but I was hoping to use one that is similar to the brick we got, but has 2/3 outputs on it. I think I posted a question like this before but can't find it through search and there is no "profile" page I can find.

Hi all, I've problems getting the AMP/PREAMP and CABs to work nicely with physical amps when I play somewhere. The sounds just doesn't sound right and I'm not sure if the 4 cable method is doing a much better job. Also I find it too cumbersome to setup; I want to plug my Pod Go in an amp and be done with it. So I'm basically only using the effects. However for some reason the CAB/AMP always need to be in the signal chain, even when I switch them off. Would it be possible to remove them so the freed up CPU cycles could be used for an extra effect?

Hello everyone! So, I am in the market for a Pod GO but I was thinking... does any of you know if it will be an update to this pedal? Like a Pod GO v2 or something? To have the impedance issues solved, more DSP power and so on. Any rumors? Any speculations? Does Line6 have a specific period of the year to launch products? (like Apple has with the iPhones in sep/oct) Should I wait a little bit more? Anything expected in the near future? I really like this pedal with all the effects and stuff, but the fact that a newer more up to date version might come soon is killing me tbh.

It's coming up on 1 year since Pod Go last firmware update. Helix 3.60 was 3 months ago. PLEASE tell us there's still some Pod Go love and a firmware update coming with some of the new amps, effects and features Helix got?

Hi everyone, I have a Pod Go with me and I was thinking to increase my "pedalboard" besides just Pod Go. I was wondering whether you could integrate Hx Stomp into Pod Go? Like instead of buying individual pedals, just buy a Hx Stomp and connect it to the Pod Go to function as "individual pedals". Does it affect the DSP in Pod Go? Was there any issues? Do the Hx Stomp and Pod Go function normally? I want to use Pod Go as the main pedal to control volume while Hx Stomp acts as extra pedals. I don't have a Hx Stomp so I can't try it myself. Am hoping someone could try and let me know is it feasible or its straight up stupid.

I was looking for a way to increase the recording volume when channel 3/4 is selected, to later reamp. The problem is that the signal it sends is so low that it seems to have a kind of noise gate, and many details such as string noises, slides and other details are lost. It is not solved by normalizing the recorded track. It would be nice if they fixed it in a next update.

I bought a couple of amp model packs that tell you that they are compatible with Pod Go Pedal Board. When I import into Library there is no IR cab with that particular amp model. Please Advise... Sviteknology

Good day, I tried to load the Runway preset from the Line 6 Marketplace into my PodGo. However, I am getting an incompatible device error. Also, PodGo Edit also switches from the preset list to the IR list when I drag and drop it. What am I doing wrong? The PodGo has all the Helix models and is said to be Helix compatible so it should just load the preset, correct? This is my first effects kit so just learning how this all works. Maybe I need some sort of .hlx to .pgp converter. Is that something in PodGo edit that I have missed? Thanks.

how to turn tap/tuner light off

I've had my Pod Go Wireless for a few weeks now and just did my first gig with it. Here are some thoughts that I thought might interest the community. Feedback is welcome, especially if I'm off base about anything ... Note: I had been using Pod XT Live for the last dozen years or so. Really liked it, although it had its faults, but felt it was time to update. I kept expecting my XT Live to take its last breath in the middle of a big solo! Pros of the Pod Go Wireless: Huge universe of sounds possible with a small portable box. Great for me, a guitarist in a cover band, since I try to mimic the original artist's sound. Nice editor for the PC. I don't edit the sounds on the Pod directly ... seems tedious. I prefer to use the big screen on my PC. Easy to select different amps or effects boxes and drag/drop the order. The color screen/buttons on the pod and large font are good during live shows. Easy to see and control. Like the snapshot approach. Good to have different sections of songs and turn different effects on/off quickly Sounds fantastic in a live setting with the balanced output going directly to the PA Cons: The wireless dongle only charges when the Pod is turned on and uses the input plug. So you can't recharge while you're playing with a patch cord. This is very frustrating. There are no meters on the editor software. Would be very useful to see the signal levels at each stage of the preset. As it works now, I'm just guessing. Very difficult to map presets from XT Live to Pod Go. Names of amps and effects have changed as well as functionality. Spent way too many hours trying get close to the sound I liked from the XT. Using the foot switch to scroll through the banks is slow. It doesn't change immediately when you press the switch ... takes a second. This is frustrating when you're between songs and need to get to a preset right away. In the editor, when I'm working on a preset and I switch to another preset without saving, my work is lost. No warning! The wireless range seems pretty limited. Walked to the other side of the stage and the guitar cut out. The switch on the pedal too easily switches between wah and volume. I accidentally did that a couple of times during my gig without much pressure. Neutral: People have complained about the limited processing of the Pod Go... can't have more than 4 effects and no parallel processing like in the Helix. This doesn't bother me since I'm just doing basic cover songs with a full band. I can get a "plenty good enough" sound with the Pod Go.

The DigiTech whammy is on the Pitch/Synth section. It would be really awesome to see the Bass Synth Wah on the helix software.

I am thinking about buying a Pod Go / Headrush mx5 / Mooer GE300lite and using it with a power amp like Harley Benton GPA - 100 along with my 212 v30 cab. Most people use guitar procesors with FRFR cabs, but the problem is that I hate how FRFR feels. For me, it's kinda flat and uninspiring. Simply, I need that "amp in the room feel" and I don't expect tube warmth from this setup, but at least something that will sound at least as decent as Boss Katana Head. Will Pod Go (with cab sim disabled) + GPA - 100 give me an amp in the room feel? Will it sound like a real guitar amp (maybe not a tube one) and have a decent feel and pick attack? Do you think it's gonna be a tone upgrade over my Katana Head?

Hello Line 6 forum users! I am thinking of returning the HX Effects I bought a couple weeks back and replacing it either with a Pod Go or Stomp XL. i am basically trying to have a simple set up with an effects unit into a Tone Master Deluxe Reverb. All I want is to be able to have a preset per songs I play and a couple basic other tones when I go off repertoire. I play rock (Beatles, Stones, Queen, Led Zeppelin , AC/DC, Oasis, Coldplay+ Chili Peppers) + reggae + grunge (Nirvana, Offspring) The HX FX seemed ideal but it turns out there aren’t many presets out there to download « per song » and I don’t have the skills to really dial in a tone per song. So I’m thinking of going to PodGo or HX Stomp which have a much deeper community and vendors online. i love the organic feel of the Tone Master and would ideally use the PG or Stomp as pedalboards with amp simulation off. I don’t need complex routing or effects, just good song based patches that I can tweak a bit to sound good with my amp. I have a wah pedal already (so neutral on that between PG and Stomp) and may buy a pedal to get more Marshall like tones as part of the setup. what would you say is the way to go or the pros/cons of the two units given my goal? Thank you! Ben

Does anyone know if this is possible? I bought an HX stomp to use with physical pedals. I already have great sounding patches on my PodGO, but would love to find a way to convert PodGO patches (,pgp) to the HX format (.hlx) without having to manually recreate them. Is there a JSON hack to achieve this? Thanks!

Hi folks, Is there an outer looping mode or another way to switch around presets while looping/overdubbing? Thanks!

Hi, had a question regarding recording to an audio interface. It’s probably a very fundamental question but no one seems to discuss it anywhere so I thought I’d check. The question is as follows. Since the Pod Go samples audio at 48 kHz, when we connect it to an audio interface via the audio Main Out for recording (mono or stereo) does it matter if the audio interface and the DAW are set at 44.1 kHz. Will there be any audio weirdness or issues. Since I plan to do this on a full time basis I’d rather not go into it without proper knowledge of the matter. Any advice would be welcome. Thanks! P.S. I haven’t bought the device yet, and I can’t demo it where I live, but I am very close to pulling the trigger.

Just updated MacBook to Monterey OS and Logic Pro X is not recognizing my POD GO. It recognizes it as an output but I can't record direct to track anymore. There are work arounds, just wondering if anyone else had this problem and were able to resolve so it worked normally again. I have not uninstalled and reinstalled the software yet so that will be my next step. Anyone experience this?

Is there a way To control the headphone volume separately from the main output volume., So that. I can turn my headphone volume down Or up without affecting. The output Volume that I'm sending to the house?

my pod go use very well but aux in level is too low when compare with guitar. anyone has a problem like me? and how to fix or may line6 gonna fix this.

Hi everyone, here's a question that get asked probably a lot. Sorry. Basically i've been using the pod go with headphone in my bedroom for the longest time. That's all I have (I have guitars aswell eh ) I'm trying to join a band but the place where they rehearse is pretty much an empty room (I've been told there's only a mixing table) I know nothing about equipements, but I suppose a mixing table implies that there are speakers in the room with it ? Anyway I'm in desperate need to buy equipement fast to be able to play with them. I think that in the future I want to stay with the whole amp modeling technology and probably do not wish to get myself a full amp stack. So what could I buy to be able to play with a band ? I've read of FRFR speaker like the headrush, but from what I've seen it's mixed review: some people swear by it, and for some it's only good to be able to hear yourself ( like to point it towards you). I've also seen the line 6 powercab, but it's a bit expensive.. I've never done any gig, i've never done any research into amp/cab and all that part of guitar playing, as i'm in appartement. I'm very much a noob into it, but I need to buy something fast. All I know is the marshall stack I see on stage lol. Any recommendation ? a speaker that can make myself heard with a band in a room. I play with a distortion and gain, and usually metal if that helps. I'd like to go no more than 600euros ( 700 dollars) if possible. Cheers!!

I'm attempting to use an amp I have and a frfr speaker I have at the same time but I notice using the global setting to make the amp source pre cab/ir means I still have to remove my head from my signal chain to use my amp? Am I missing something or is this the way it is?

I've upgraded from a Spider iii to the Spider Vmkii and I am blown away by the versatility of this modelling amp and the numerous built in effects that it has and that I can assign and control with the shortboard Mkii that I already had. However, I want to use some effects through a Boss rc30 looper. I have a ZoomG2 but don't really like the effects and lack of clarity that it produces and so I have been looking at getting a Boss ME80 to feed effects into the looper and also use as a multi effects pedal through the amp. I can't see that I would need the amp modelling of the pedal, as the Spider has that covered. I only play at home, so I won't be gigging with this set-up. I also don't want to spend a fortune on something like the Line 6 PodGo only for looping purposes as it will be doubling up a lot of the effects in the Spider V. I know that the ME80 is 7 years old now so my question is, is there something which offers multi effects without the amp simulations which would be more suitable. I have considered the M5 pedal, but may want to use more than one effect at a time to the looper. I also may want to use an octaver to add bass lines, so any suggestion would need to have an octave function. For a hobby guitarist, it is a pity that I can't feed the effects from the amp through the looper as there are some great bass tones and other sounds on the Cloud for the Spider V! Are there any other solutions or considerations that I am missing?
