Agamemnon5 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Im not sure which one of these to get, i don't really care about amp sims etc just fx, the Go has an expression pedal, looks better(I know i know lol) So im leaning towards that but im assuming the HX sounds would be higher quality, not so sure. Any help? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Well, the effects are the same with a few caveats. The POD Go doesn’t have a few models the HX Effects has - the Cosmos Echo and Tone Sovereign (King of Tone) and to name a few. It also won’t be getting the new polyphonic effects coming with the 3.0 update. The POD Go delays have a max delay time of 2 seconds, whereas the HX Effects delays max out at 8 seconds. Really, if you’re genuinely not interested in amp models, the HX Effects is the way to go. It will give you a lot more flexibility, and it’s a lot more powerful as an effects-only platform.

Agamemnon5 Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 How are the amp sims? i say i don't want them but they might be useful for getting djent style sounds, i know many djent bands like line 6, it is not my main aim but could be useful, mostly i just want fx though.

cristt Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I quote phili_m the amp sims are the same of the helix series (except some missing if I remember) so top line 6 quality. you also can load IRs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pod Go has all the current Helix amp & cab models. There are currently only 3 Helix FX not in Pod Go: Clawthorn drive, Distortion > Tone Sovereign, Delay > Cosmos Echo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look at the amp models listed in the Pod Go manual and then compare with the Helix manual. If you see any differences, please do flag them.

Agamemnon5 Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 Is it possible to disable both amp and cab sims? I don't know if i should do the 4 cable method or just run in to my effects loop, im thinking i should do the 4 cable method so i can use boosters/overdrive pedals to drive the preamp i think.

Take a look at the "POD Go FAQ" topic. Every HX amp / cab are included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voxman55 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I've just looked on the BenVesco DSP chart and there are some further effects that are in Helix but not in Pod Go. I think there are 5: clawthorne drive Wounded Paw Battering Ram bass overdrive (Hx DSP allocation 17.87% mono, 34.33% stereo) cosmos echo Roland® RE-201 Space Echo (Hx DSP allocation 14.13% mono, 25.6% stereo ) tone sovereign Analogman King of Tone V4 (Hx DSP allocation 20% mono, 38% stereo) Legendary Drive Carvin VLD1 Legacy Drive (high gain channel) (Hx DSP allocation 21.33% mono, 41.33% stereo) 3 osc synth Line 6 Original (Hx DSP allocation 8.97% mono, 18.13% stereo) I'm not quite sure why the 3 Osc Snth wasn't included in Pod Go as based on the Helix DSP useage it would use up less DSP than the dual pitch, which is included in Pod Go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agamemnon5 Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 So i have decided to get a helix hx but im unsure how to connect it up, i want to use it for things like reverb, chorus etc etc in my amps fx loop, while using a maxon od808 as my OD, sorry for the silly question im just a bit confused.To someone who has tried in fx loop for these types of effects or in front of amp which would you say is best? Does it just go like this Guitar into Maxon OD into amp input Send of amp to return of hx Send of hx to return amplifier or should i use the 4CM and do this Guitar to HX Effects Guitar In HX Effects Send Loop 1 to Maxon OD to Amp Main Input Amp FX Send Loop to HX Effects Return Loop 1 HX Effects 1/4" Left (mono) Out to Amp FX Return Loop Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voxman55 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Hi @Agamemnon5If you have queries on Hx bear in mind that as this part of the board is for Pod Go, you need to ask Hx queries on the Hx forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
