dadaunpa Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossco02 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 add the idea to ideascale.com then... Line 6 do not look at this forum for ideas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dacop13 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grdGo33 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadaunpa Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 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!

So that if you're using low cost effects, that you could use as many as you have the processing power left. 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.

dadaunpa Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
