Please 6 Block free!!!!

[dadaunpa]

the pod go is gorgeous!  

But....it will wonderfull if..

1)   6 free blocks instead of 4 !! (Why eq ??)

 2) amp out be able to turn off amp and cab.  That would be perfect !!  

thanks

add the idea to ideascale.com then... Line 6 do not look at this forum for ideas.

The EQ comes in handy on some presets but its really not needed sometimes. I agree it should have been just another empty block giving us at least 5 to work with.

It's not a question of 'blocks', it's a question of processing speed.  Some effects are nearly free (ex; EQ uses like 0.5% CPU or whatever) vs some effects will cost 50% of the Pod Go's DSP, because they require a lot of processing.  That's why sometimes you can't even use the 4 blocks if you chose an expensive amp or effects.

 

What you could ask for though is dynamic # of blocks.  So that if you're using low cost effects, that you could use as many as you have the processing power left.

Hi! Thanks

I understand the Cpu problem.

But for example: if i use with acoustic guitar, don't need to use Amp o Cab.

so i would prefer to use two reverbs or other instead of amp to use less cpu.  Or if i go to an amp (hardware) i can turn off all simulations to save cpu.  In fact, when the dsp is too loaded it lets you load only some effects.  I would like the same freedom.

Thanks!

Thanks!!! I try my friends!✌

I think you're spot on - allowing us the choice to use the whole processing power is exactly what I've been after and have asked line 6 about.  But it's not what they designed Pod Go to do.  On 7/5/20 Line 6 posted on this board and said:

 

I'm not a sales guy, but three things should be noted:

• If our models were less sophisticated, more blocks would fit in the same DSP (like older PODs)
• If our product were a lot more expensive, we'd put a second DSP in and provide additional block locations (like Helix LT)
• As it is, we've attempted to give people the biggest bang for the buck without sacrificing sonics. If another affordable box gives you more simultaneous blocks, it's not because it's more powerful; it's because the models aren't as sophisticated. AFAIK, POD Go has the most powerful SHARC in its class.

However, I suspect (and this is of course something Line 6 will never admit to) is that if they made Pod Go 'too good' so that the 'gap' to Helix/LT/Stomp is reduced, then it could impact on the sales of those units.  It still doesn't answer why Pod Go couldn't have had 1 or 2 more extra blocks other than Line 6 reconfirming that Pod Go was never intended to provide full dynamic DSP.

hello vox!  as I wrote above there would be ways to save cpu, for example using an amp hardware or for an acoustic set.  Hx Stomp costs a little more than the Pod, I would gladly buy a Pod at the price of Hx stomp.  Let's hope
