voxman55 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 As we all know, snap shot naming is not something that Pod Go yet has though hopefully Line 6 will be adding this in a future update. But one of the great things about Pod Go is that you can create a whole range of different tones from a single patch, and use snap-shots to switch seamlessly between them, as well as using the stomp mode to switch fx on/off. It's an immensely powerful piece of kit, and for fun a few months back I was playing around with the idea of a single patch that might cover a whole gig. I posted the patch on line 6 Custom Tone here: https://line6.com/customtone/tone/5101684/ I recorded variations from the same patch with a single guitar - my Patrick Eggle Berlin Pro that has humbucker and single coil options. The idea was to have a single patch where I could go from one extreme to another - from funk & jazz cleans, to glassy cleans (ala 'Pretenders') to light crunch (ala Wishbone Ash) right up to classic rock (ala Led Zeppelin and even Rush type tones). So I was wondering if anyone else had experimented with the same thing and if so I thought that just to make a change from the usual Pod Go queries it might be interesting to start a thread where folk could perhaps share their gig versatile patches with sound bites too. So, if you got 'em, please do share 'em! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahnzo Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Doesn't seem like your link actually goes to your patch. I'd like to try it tho. https://line6.com/customtone/tone/5454075/ This is v4 of my BB King patch. It's meant to be used with my semi hollowbody and have an eq setup to approximate Lucille's variac switch in position 2 (which is apparently what BB used). Snapshot 1 starts of clean with a bit of breakup and each one gets progressively more gain and really doesn't sound very BB King by #3 I'd say. But it works for a wide variety of blues guitar sounds on my hollowbody guitar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grdGo33 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Nice demo of what it's possible to do with snapshots! Crazy the range with just 1 preset, way more than you'd normally need for a song! A bit weird to have to work around the small gap between switching presets, but yeah when snapshots are used creatively, it's impressive the range of sounds/tones you can achieve. Always compromises and workarounds lol But yeah also in one sense, we're talking changing 50 different settings with 1 button press, something you never would be able to do with a real pedal board. (ok ok with MIDI controller you could, but just the controller likely costs the same as the Go lol) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebabetto Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Nice man!! thanks! I try this concept with a jazz chorus (realy clean) and add dist pedals (ts 808 + classic dist) before the amp for gain levels. the clean works great with some modulation effect (chorus) the classic dist really can get heavy!
