Is the Pod Go a good option for this?

Hello to all of you!

I have a Laney IRT Studio which is a 15w tube amp with many interesting options: DI output, an internal dummy load to be able to use it without being connected to a speaker, headphone output, effects loop, etcetera, etcetera.

I deeply love the sound of that amp and I would like to incorporate in its effects loop a unit that allows me two things: to add good reverbs and delays (I would like, above all, a double delay like Andy Timmons') and that also allows me to play with headphones at night, when my son is sleeping. The amp has a headphone output but the cabinet emulator is not very good.

I was thinking of buying a Line 6 POD GO to use just the effects and cabinet emulation, also allowing me to plug in my headphones there and have a better sound with better cabinet emulation.

Is the Pod Go a good option to do all that or can you think of any other interesting alternative? (the price of the Pod Go is my budget limit to spend)

I look forward to your recommendations!

Sure, you can use the four cable method. It's pretty standard for connecting such multi-fx pedals. 

 

 

 

The Go reverbs and delays are excellent, or at worse really good, depending on who you're asking I guess...  There's an edited patch floating around with all blocks empty, which is a workaround for the amp cab & other effects blocks being locked, and only have 4 dynamic blocks; but you'll likely be restricted by DSP, but still could be useful. 

 

But yeah as is, only 4 dynamic blocks.  You might be able to have more blocks and do the same 4 CM with other units, but not entirely sure if you'll have as much variety and effect quality as the Go...

 

Bit losing out on not using the Go's amps though imho; they're a 'big' part of the Go, kind of a waste not to use them if they're there!
