I think the Pod Go is very well designed. Those restrictions were obviously selected to cover a vast majority of usable tones. The thing I'm missing personally is an extra block for dual-delay effects. When you have two delay, you only have two blocks left to choose between modulation, boost, comp or reverb.
You can try to force use the pedals blocks and the send/receive loop, just editing a preset in a plain text editor, i've made with a lot of presets, and now i can add a looper or watever i want in this "free" blocks without having to sacrifice another pedals. It's like jailbreak your Pod Go.
I've been using the Pod Go + 112 Power Cab for about a year and love it. The only issues I've experienced is not being able to do certain combinations of fx because of DSP limitations and when using a lot of delay and switching snapshots it often makes alien spaceship sounds when going from clean to lead with lots of reverb and delay. I wish I could get just one more fx block without needing an external pedal or switch out the eq block.
@@sheltonallen4100 Yes but you have to make sure your presets output is strong enough. Jason Sadites has talked about this on his channel and others too. I use the Orban Loudness meter to set all of my presets volume levels.
Yes, I use the Orban Loudness meter. I also tried the YouLean loudness meter but ultimately liked Orban better. I've never had an issue with powercab volume after using the meter. Also, all of my presets match volume levels so I don't have to sweat when changing to a different preset. Love Jason's channel btw. 😊👍🎸
thanks for the warning, ill make sure not to mix up my POD GO with heroin. btw, could you plug the POD GO straight into some studio monitors? i am looking to get some on the budget side rather than a line6 powercab for example
does it free up DSP to use your amp out and plug into an actual amp? or are the amps loaded into the preset being "loaded" and taking up DSP even if they're switched off for the time being?
I get it JC, but the DSP limitations are really frustrating on the Pod Go - workarounds or not. It's a shame really, because it does get in the way of experimenting with whatever combinations. Nice sounds, none-the-less, so I guess mine is a moot point for most people, but for me the Pod Go wasn't it so it had to go.
@@johnnathancordy They also really should add one or two extra free blocks and let the user decide if they want to use less "expensive" amps and effects to be able to use even more blocks, this is regardless of unlocking any fixed blocks which i think they should also do. I would also like to be able to use a second amp in one of the free block so that you can switch between a very clean amp and a fairly heavy distorted metal sounding amp with snapshots.
@@johnnathancordy Yeah, i know about the Badonk, but im not sure i like it that much, there are much better like the Revv and PV Panama, i like the 5150 sound. I guess that almost all other amps have to limited range for both clean and heavy distorsion, which is the two sounds i use, Fender twin clean and 5150 distortion. I dont own the POD Go or any other Line6 modeler at least yet, but have been considering the POD Go and have tested Helix native (trial), but havent tested all amps yet.
What are your thoughts if we compare the hotone ampero with line 6 pod go.. interms of amp simulation, reverb, shimmers, cabs etc.. I want a processor with good fender amp Sims and cab plus nice reverbs .. ambient tones.. which will you recommend me.. mostly I use clean and crunch tones
Hotone doesn't have stuff like snapshots, so for me personally it's not really super easy to gig it, and footswitch assignments etc don't seem as flexible either?
@@johnnathancordy thanks brother.. plz also reply to this question.. for the previously mentioned features/requirements, is the pod go best option under 500 dollars price range..??
Just jail break your Pod Go and free up to 3 more blocks … doesn’t give any more dsp but is way more flexible in how and what you set up a preset with and choosing the lower dsp amps etc with more free blocks gives you a shit ton more creative flexibility with presets … its a learning process like with all modelers etc 😎👍
Context is important. The PodGo is meant to be used by new players in thier bedrooms. Most likely with headphones or a small inexpensive amp. It is a tool that allows young players hear what certain effects are and what they do. The semi fixed chain keeps them from getting so far out of the box that their chain is not usable. Once they get to the point where they begin to understand the limitations they are likely ready to move up to a more powerful unit.
Quite the opposite for me, I find the limitations liberate me from choice paralysis and I focus more on my playing and controlling the sound more with my guitar and hands
Nonsense. I’ve been playing for over 30yrs, much of that time using fancy pedalboards and valve amps. Once I got the Pod Go most of the pedals and amps ended up being sold. New, bedroom players who want to get an idea of what different amps and fx sound like without spending a fortune would be better off with one of the many excellent small modelling amps that can be had for £100-200.
At the risk of being a troll - aren't all your play-ins intros actually a bit of a cheat??? They are beautiful, don't get it twisted, BUT there's a backing track. Is that backing track looper on the Pod Go, or is it some super-dooper looper made from unobtainium mined only on the Planet Zogg?

Hello there how did you get the glitch delay? I can't see it in the pod manual. What's it called in the pod go Manuel?
Came here to hear the pod, but heard an awesome artist. Saved this performance as a referance!
Very soothing intro track. As always, I enjoy your choice of percussion sounds almost as much as your playing!
Really great video Johnathan! As always thanks for taking the time to post these!
One of the MOST informative and useful videos on POD Go out here. Thanks!
NICE opening! Went perfect with my Tuesday morning cuppa!
Thanks for the awesome videos!
I've found myself quite enjoying using a preamp into an IR - normally the Cali IV Rhythm 2. Thoughts?
Yes! Those use quite a bit less DSP!
Gorgeous track mate, well done.
Great content so helpful as always. Pod go version 👌
I'm sending you a spirit level for your camera. I have neck ache.
Great info, thank you!

@@nilsonsalazar87 I didn't venture into editing manually my presets. How does it react when you bust some limits (DSP cycles or else)?
Have you tried adding an external delay pedal. Or use two delays on the PG and add compensate by adding something else.

Does the 112 powercab put out enough volume with a band??

ive been using the preamps amd an IR that works well too
How do You record the sound ? Yo sound so clean and great
thanks for the warning, ill make sure not to mix up my POD GO with heroin.
btw, could you plug the POD GO straight into some studio monitors? i am looking to get some on the budget side rather than a line6 powercab for example
At home studio monitors would definitely work great
@@johnnathancordy gotcha. any budget ones you would recommend?
@@nunolance23 I use JBL lsr305 which are cheapish
Yes...provided they are powered monitors. The POD GO outputs are line level, so they cannot power passive speakers.
does it free up DSP to use your amp out and plug into an actual amp?
or are the amps loaded into the preset being "loaded" and taking up DSP even if they're switched off for the time being?
can you disable the volume pedal and have it ONLY be a wha when you want it? Thanks!
Yes!
@@johnnathancordy awesome!! Thank you sir!!
Ladies and gentlemen I present to you "How to blow up your POD GO." :-D
Hallo Johnnathancordy
What is your Favorit....Line6 Podgo
or Nux MG 30 ???
I want to buy one of this Multieeffect.
Great wishes Jürgen
Bro How did that pattern of lights do it? I hope you can answer me, greetings :)
Do you lose DSP every time you make a new preset And if you don't use the amps and cabs will that save DSP.
Hi JC i bought your podgo bundle a while ago. Can you send me this patch?
Eric Johnson lead tone building lesson on POD go plzz

I wonder if it could be that in the future those semi fixed blocks get "unfixed"?

@@Stefan- hmm not sure about the available DSP in terms of dual amp stuff, but you can run amps like the Badonk fully clean and fully dirty?

Isn’t the issue more about the Pod ago having insufficient effects blocks than about the Pod Go being underpowered.
It has less effects block since it has lower DSP
Add an HX Stomp to the end or loop. Problem solved.
Was the tilted camera representative of your mind on heroin?

Not agree at all, i am using It to live performances and work perfectly, so i have sold my Marshall all tubes and pedals and no regreat.
@@lapatata00 many people use many things outside the designed intentions. If it is working for you, great.
