Staggerlee011 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Hi, Looking to update my home amp / effects set up (currently just a simple a yammah thr). I live in an apartment so have to keep noise low (and space is a prem). I was looking to see what people thought the difference is between Pod go and helix as well powercab and powerCab +. Im guessing from a simple standup the best performance will be the most expensive. But what do you actually get for doubling the cost?

grdGo33 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 You probably looked it up yourself, but main differences; the outputs inputs are limited on the GO, there's no parallel amp in the chain (so couldn't run two different amps to have two different amps in stereo), limited number of blocks compared to helix; you have 4 'anything' block (delay, distortion, effects, compressor, etc. So you could put 4 distortions ,4 reverbs, etc.), the other blocks (volume/wah pedal, EQ, amp, cab) are static and although they can be moved you can't say replace EQ with reverb. Also out of I don't know 250+ amps/effects/etc., there's maybe 5 or something missing from helix. That's pretty much it, besides price, size of unit, etc. The sound quality is 100% the same as the big helix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
