Free up 3 effect blocks with this Line 6 POD Go HACK | TONECLONERS 

That is Sooo nice - Thank you!

Puoi fare un esempio più chiaro per sbloccare alcuni blocchi ?

I just get errors when I do this. Can you explain it a little more clearly?

This resource is terrific :) benvesco.com/store/helix-dsp-allocations/

@@BenCravenMusic - that’s how I knew. Hahaha

Not sure about your first question since I haven't tried this before, but the DSP basically refers to the computing power of the pedal. The pedal has a limit to how much it can process, some effects use more DSP and some use less. That's why some will be greyed out if you have a lot of effects in your signal chain already

Hey Javier! Oh, interesting ideas .. I'm not aware of any other way yet to modify the patches or the routing. If it were possible to add two amps to the chain, I suspect it would eat up the available CPU pretty quickly.

I believe you can edit it on the Pod itself as well.

I'm sorry I'm not going to be much help. I've sold my Pod Go already because of the input impedance problem. I suspect you might have your effects loop set to "line" level rather than "effect" level, ie. the effect loop is too loud for a distortion pedal to work as expected. There might be a setup menu somewhere to configure it. Good luck!

@@BenCravenMusic Thanks Ben for your reply. I recall seeing the options "Line" and "Instrument" levels but not "effects". Maybe I was in the wrong section though. But i think you nailed it in that the fx loop is too loud or hot to handle and external overdrive or distortion pedal. It seems to run fine as long as I run the external pedal externally lolol (outside of the unit into the "guitar-in) I'm not fond of having the digital distortion "after" the analog distortion but I was still able to get a pretty darn good sound running it that way. Just lost a touch of the dynamics as digital doesn't cut through the mix like analog to my ears but I think with the tube amps preamp running last in the chain it's still dynamic enough (4 cable method). This is for emergency live gig backup anyway so it should do just fine. Thanks again Ben! Great video btw

Hey Axel. I don't know the answer to that, sorry!

Sorry, I doubt it Danilo. HD is completely different technology.

Hi, It is resolved !!! Have you tried adding an amp ??

I believe the wah/volume switch becomes unassigned once the blocks are cleared. Then you are free to assign it to anything you want.

The changes are only for that preset. So it's easy enough to delete the preset and start again if you want to add the blocks back in.

Sorry Carlos l wouldn't know!

Hi Frank. I'm not sure on the format. Just some sort of text format should be good. I doubt you can damage the Pod Go by trying to import a preset if it can't read it.

Visual Studio Code is a good and light editor you can use to edit JSON files. It will highlight the syntax nicely for you (as well as warn you of any syntax errors you may introduce).

Wow!!! I'm sorry I'm not able to confirm or come up with a workaround because I sold my Pod GO due to the input impedance problem.

@@BenCravenMusic Thank you for your response. It seems like the Pod Go is performing more checks on the .pgp file. It says "Target is incompatible". Maybe others are keen to try a workaround?

Importing an already created hacked preset works for me on 1.40.

@@markfelts6511 Thank you for info!

Hi Marek. It just doesn't work for me. Pod Go Edit will allow you to select a replacement effect, but it won't actually engage inside the Pod Go. Same for amp and cab blocks.

@@BenCravenMusic i just played with it a little bit and actually had problems of all sorts: preset could not be saved, no output, inability to select anything. It happened with any of the extra free blocks. And all of a sudden all clicked into place and worked like a charm. I have no idea what I did or didn't do. I guess, but need to confirm, all of the problems happened when any of the unofficial free blocks was the last one in the chain

@@marekgitarzysta5193 Oh wow that's interesting. I'm sure there are all sorts of combinations Line 6 didn't test or code against.

@@BenCravenMusic Glad to read this! I tried this with the EQ and worked so well!! Personally for my Rhythm sound I prefer to use the EQ of the amp (modeled and real amp), so that being said.. I tried it and worked quite good... thanks brother!

Yeah EQ block deletes for me no problem.

Yes it's simply at the preset level. If it doesn't work properly or you want to restore things .. just switch to a different preset!

@@BenCravenMusic Sweet.

Not sure about that Otto, sorry. I would expect the preset file to open up fine in Notepad.

I have the same problem guys :( Any solution already? Thanks!

@@Elvenpath2 Perhaps try downloading the preset I created for this video (check the description for the link.) If it works, you can substitute whatever you want for the pedals or create a blank template. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-E62snQ2phJg.html

Hey Billy. If you are at all worried about that, please DO NOT ATTEMPT this hack. I do not want to be responsible for any damage to your Pod. In my experiments, the Pod does a good job of limiting CPU automatically, and simply won't let you assign any effects that may push it over the limit.

It took me a couple of tries but it worked flawlessly!!!! I am finally a satisfied pod go buyer!!! I can’t believe they don’t allow you to do this on the unit itself…. Just so happy to get everything I need all lined up the way I want to see it!

Replying to my own post - but I'm pretty sure that either Line 6 have altered the code in POD GO 1.30; OR this does not work for Mac. I seem to have a LOT more code in the .txt file, with Snapshots; several "block0" and "block4" entires and a number of "pedalstate" entries which all seem to be interlinked. You would need to understand a lot more about code than I do to ensure all the various levels were deleted correctly. Shame

It does work on mac. Just did it myself with mac

@@GENXJOPLIN Yes it got sorted; the confusion was over the layout of the text and opening the file in the Mac Text Editor

@@kelvinpell4571 which editor did you have to use for proper layout?

@@GS-uy4xo I used mac Text Editor and deleted only the DSP sections of the text

Absolutely! It's just a single preset. The other presets are not affected.

@@BenCravenMusic Yes, you just import the original preset (or any preset) into that slot----unless you know Json. :-)
