Iraqula Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 The title is a little misleading but kind of reflects what I'm trying to accomplish: My end goal What I'd like to do is run my bass in parallel paths into my amp. In one chain I'll have my regular guitar pedals, in another chain I'd have my pod go. Why? I want to experiment with modeling two signals to the amp to replicate some synth bass effects. One chain would model the regular bass sounds and the other chain would model an octave lower. I learned this by watching some players from the 80s create synth bass on an old ARP and Moog. Gear and Issues One issue is that my bass amp has no FX loop which I imagine would make this easier. It does however have multiple inputs (Active/Active/Passive and a DI). I know an ABY Pedal would solve all of this, but I'm trying my best not to buy more gear especially since the Pod Go has a ton of input and outputs that might help me in this endeavor. Thoughts?

Iraqula Posted June 22, 2023 Author Share Posted June 22, 2023 ChatGPT seems to be helping me out Yes, it is possible to set up the Pod Go as wet/dry/wet with one amp. The Pod Go has stereo outputs, so you can connect one output directly to your amp for the dry signal, and use the other output to send the wet signal to additional amplification or effects. By routing the wet signal to a separate amplifier or effects chain, you can achieve the wet/dry/wet configuration, where the dry signal remains unaffected while the wet signal is processed with additional effects or sent to additional speakers. Keep in mind that you may need to adjust your amp and effects settings accordingly to achieve the desired balance and sound. On the Pod Go screen, the setup for a wet/dry/wet configuration with one amp would typically involve adjusting the routing and output settings. Here's a general guideline: Go to the "I/O" menu on the Pod Go screen. In the "Outputs" section, ensure that the "Main Outs" option is set to "Multi" to enable stereo operation. Connect the left output of the Pod Go to your main amp input using a standard instrument cable. Connect the right output of the Pod Go to your secondary amp or effects chain using another instrument cable. In the "Routing" section, adjust the settings to send your desired signals to each output. You'll want to send the dry signal to the main output and the wet signal to the secondary output. To achieve this, you can select the appropriate amp and effects blocks for each path. Assign the dry signal to the main path that goes to the main output, and assign the wet signal to a separate path that goes to the secondary output. Remember that the specific steps may vary depending on the firmware version of the Pod Go and any updates or changes made by Line 6. It's always a good idea to consult the Pod Go's manual or Line 6's official documentation for precise instructions tailored to your specific firmware version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
