wpneily Posted January 5, 2024 Share Posted January 5, 2024 Looking for a bit of direction please. We have a small gig coming up that will be my first with my PodGo and my HeadRush 112. I assumed that I would simply run PodGo "out" with cab emulation to the PA, and then PodGo "amp out" with cab emulation to my FRFR(headrest 112) for monitoring/stage sound. I read an article that suggested I should turn off cab emulation for my FRFR. This doesn't make any sense to me as, I would think I want all of the PodGo tone to be heard on stage. I appreciate any insights and tips others may have on this. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted January 5, 2024 Share Posted January 5, 2024 What have you been doing so far (at home/studio)? You can compare your Headrush with and without cab emulation now. Choose which sound you would prefer to hear onstage beforehand and ignore what anyone else says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAKory Posted January 8, 2024 Share Posted January 8, 2024 Not sure if this only applies to the Line6 PowerCabs, since they can either run flat FRFR or with speaker emulation, but... If you run with cab emulation to your FRFR: Pro: You hear what the audience hears. Con: It's not the same as the sound and feel of the amp by itself. Without cab emulation to PowerCab speaker emulation - Amp-in-the-Room Speaker Modeling Method Pro: Sounds like you're playing through an amp and you're in front of it. Con: Audience isn't hearing the same thing that you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you just mean turning the cab off? Sorry for any confusion. I read it three times and not sure what you meant haha My biggest concern (I am not the OP, but I have a similar interest) is that without the cab, it will sound awful, same as when you listen through headphones and turn off the cab.

The Pod Go's global settings has an option for the Amp output so the signal is after the amp block and before the cab block. The reason it doesn't sound awful is because you then are relying on the FRFR's actual cabinet & speaker (and/or speaker model) - hence, it sounds like an actual "amp-in-the-room".
