GOOD VALUE, GOOD TONES! Line 6 POD Go! 

I got this a couple of weeks ago, and I love it. I'm no professional touring rock star, so I don't need it to do more than it does. It does all I want it to and then some. You could spend over $450 on 3 or 4 good stand alone pedals. Well worth it, and not too hard to get into.

Best thing you can do with these is go to the global EQ and put the high cut on 12k, then turn off the high cut on the cabs. For whatever reason the global eq is way more intense than the high and low cut on the cab block.

*Plays first tone, doesn't like it at all* "So it maintains the classic POD flavor"

I bought one of these recently and man, it has changed my gig setup for the better and I genuinely feel more confident on stage. If you sit with it a bit and make your own patches, you can make some kickass sounds on this bad boy.

really digging what Line6 is doing right now. Although I think they should have called it the POD GO HX, it really doesn't matter, because once you know its HX modelling and you see the price of the unit its hard not to say 'wow, good job Line 6'. I'd totally buy one if I didn't already have an interface with HELIX Native.

Yup! The POD changed the options for so many of us. From having to go to a studio to being able to record rad tracks in a bedroom wayyy before VST amps. Super thankful for that. Didn't you start this channel with an HD Pro Rack? That's the first Fluff video I remember watching. I think you were playing a Schecter Baritone back then too. Great vid as always Fluff. Cheers!

Dude, this seems perfect for simplifying your setup for live solo gigs as well.

I think they should have called it Helix Go

I was on the fence between this and the Boss GX-100. I decided on this because I found one on Reverb for $375 and it is in mint condition. While I always figured the Pod HD series just needed an IR update, there is definitely something else going on in this unit. The playing 'feel' is outstanding, as are the tones. The best modeller I've ever owned.

All those criticizing this and the Helix,.....a lot of band use them live, Jinjer being one of them, I know I was there about 3 feet from them in a small club in San Diego called Brick by Brick plus Eugene stated that it is his weapon of choice because he doesn't have to carry a huge rig and can have all the tones he needs, he has two, one is used as a backup. Line6 has come a long way since the original bean pod which by the way was used by Dino Cazares on one of the Fear Factory albums and that album has great tone with a freaking original Line6 Pod!!!.

This is a little long but if you're on the fence about modeling this could be a worthwhile read. I bought one of these for late night practicing through headphones and the occasional fly gig/jam. It sounds so good to me that it has become my main rig, but there’s an important catch- I bypass the cab sims and put it straight into the fx loop return of my Bad Cat Cub 15R because, let’s face it, FRFR systems cannot recreate the “amp in a room” sound. Although I’m not about to part with my Eventide H9, the effects on board are good to excellent. I’m still pretty floored by how uniformly great this setup sounds. Just so you don’t think I’m some easily impressed noob, I’ve been playing since the early 80’s and own or have owned great amps by the likes of Mesa (at least 6), Carr, Friedman, Budda, Fender CS, Orange, Rivera, Revv, and so-on. I’ve had my favorites from these brands and I can really say that the Pod Go into my Bad Cat’s fx loop return puts as big a smile on my face as any of the above amps. Maybe I just got lucky and the Bad Cat just happens to “like” the Pod Go and it’s a great combination just by chance? Eventually I’ll pull out other amps to find out. I also think it’s important to mention that in my experience it doesn’t sound good into the front of an amp which makes sense given that you’re putting a modeled preamp into a real preamp in this scenario. Modeling has really come of age IMHO. If you’re tired of lugging a big rig around and you’re intrigued by modeling but don’t like the FRFR experience you should consider this kind of setup. You may be very surprised. Oh yeah, the day after I bought this I got an email from Fractal as I'd been on their waiting list for the past 6 months for a FM3. With all the confidence that I was making the right choice and zero regret to date, I told them I was going to pass. YMMV

Was that "Justified Black Eye" I heard during the Cali Recto setting?? You've got good taste sir!

Deciding which one to keep: pod go or the boss gtx-100. Both take me away from playing/practicing and suck me into to playing with the settings.

please please please do a metal tones video of this please! ive been looking at one for a while fluff

Honestly blown away by those plexi tones, seriously considering buying one of these now

Sorry, very newbie question. With no Computer or Cabinet. Can i play that PodGo with just an Electric Guitar and a pair Headphone? Just for practicing purposes? Thanks for the future answer. Confused beginner here. Hehe

I almost want a desktop version of this, with a floorboard. That display would be great until it's 6 feet from my face.

Bought one of these on a whim, I absolutely love it.

Those Guitar Lessons must be paying off. Some cool licks in here man.

4:45 Justified Black Eye, classic

New gears are always good and exciting. But my concern is how future proof are these gears? How long will it serve the user? Will it be useable still after 2, 5, 10 or more? This will depend on the manufacturer really, with supports, SW updates and their plan of continuity or discontinuity. Just my thoughts and question. Great video as always Fluff. Cheers and God bless.

Honestly, this is the perfect unit for poor students like me. I've been meaning to get a Helix LT ever since having the opportunity to use the Helix for a year but it has been out of my budget. This; however, isn't. Dope!!!!

Awesome. I purchased one. Still learning alot. I love it.

Can this be plugged straight into a traditional cabinet, or would it need a pre amp or amp sim pedal ?

As someone who new to guitar effects I am not sure if the four effects slots is enough… to learn, mix and match, experiment. Do you think that’s a valid concern. Thanks for your video.

A Converge shirt?! As if I couldn't love this channel anymore!

I just got one. I’ve never liked modeling but after I heard they put the helix sounds in. So I decided to try it. My mind is blown, I love this damn thing!

To be fair , they are really good priced

Is having ability to run dual cabs, amps, parallel effects worth extra $$$ for helix lt? Hmmmmm I’m new to the helix so not sure....

hi!!! ordered one but don't really know if it will please me,want to go through my fender supersonic22w!!!what do you think it will be ???DO YOU USE AN AMP OR A PA,,thanks alain what's the better way to get better sounds amp or pa??

Like that justified black eye riff ! Also can you hook up a drop pedal to this thing ?

I prefer the mooer ge250 at that price range but that is me. To each his own.

Pod Go vs HD500X vs Firehawk FX. What do you think? I've never owned a multi-effects unit.

I use it direct in front of my Fender Deluxe (no fx-loop) for the effects. You can switch off the cab ir's for the "amp out" in the global setting. That is a timesaver. What it needs in is the possibility to also switch of the amp blocks in the global settings. Now you have to disable the amp block in every preset, or make new user presets in the user presets.

Interesting product but how well could it work with an actual tube amp, in particular if i want to use the distortion of my amp and switch between clean and distortion during a song?

So, that one time that the autocaptions said "Roof Spirits and Gear" has ruined the channel for me. I can't unhear it at all

Brother I just bought one of these just to have around the house to jam your preset on 15a didn't have to change a thing sounds absolutely amazing

Sorry you had to adjust your own patch, but Soo cool that you have one! Very very nice!

Would it be worth swapping out my HX Effects for this?

When I save a factory preset into a user patch, it won't let me exit user banks/patches, and get back to factory presets.

what where you running the pod go into ?

I think it's a cool product with the "just right" amount of features for the price. Too bad the processing does not allow for dual amps but, still enough to get the job done in most cases. When I was learning to play in the late 60s a device like this was inconceivable ... and had it existed, would have cost 50K or more. It's amazing to me what we now seem to take for granted. This is a great time for guitar gear! Bottom line, a good player will be able make this product sound amazing, you'll just have to trust me on that.

Do you think this is something you can record a nice sound with for an album? I've been a big Line 6 fan for a while, just curious. The USB going into the DAW sounds great, so I'm assuming so...

I have one. I love it. It sounds great. Very intuitive. My favorite amp so far is Revv Purple which I use with ML Fluff Cab IR I got with Amped Roots

can we make tesseract like clean tones (milmans clean) without parallel processing on this?

I noticed there's a USB outlet on the back. Can this plug directly into your computer and go straight into ProTools, Garage Band, or Logic Pro, or do I still need an interface of some sort?

4:46 No Use For A Name ayyy! \m/

If you adjust a preset , does it automatically go to the user folder as a custom tone? Or does it stay automatically saved the way you adjusted it in the presets?

Fluff I love these little gear reviews you do. Would love to see one on the Boss Gt 1.

How's it do through a tube amp?

I didn’t like the look of the helix because of its price and complexity. but I could see myself using this. Does anyone know if it has a preset like a Marshall plexi for when you want to make your own presets?

No use for a name! Well done sir, well done

I started with the original chameleon... this piece has been a game changer...peace ... from so. king county.

Yes! Badass Converge shirt Fluff!

Do you have a LINE 6 POD GO Channel

How would this sound for fx only in 4cm in a tube amp?

Can it do Sleep’s Dopesmoker tone?

i’m curious about bass guitar with this

Any audio gaps when changing presets?

For some reason I just can’t hop on the digital train. It isn’t that it doesn’t sound good, it does. I just can’t get over the feeling of having my board and my amplifier. Something about having a digital platform just doesn’t cut it for me.

Hey fluff, what guitar would you recommend for up to $200, I play Metallica and hard rock, mostly 80’s. No Floyd rose, I’m a drummer so I don’t get how pickups are better than each other, so I don’t care what type of pickups come with the guitar. but what would you personally recomend

What amp/cab are you using?

How do you use a pod go do you just plug it straight into a cab

does it work with the shuriken variax like the helix

Justified Black Eye - NOUSE!!! good song choice

Can you mix two amps at the same time?

I am really gutted. This came so close, but the DSP and 4 block limitation is a huge no go for me, not that I use them a lot but I play some ambient / post rock stuff and I often use comp, dirt, delay, reverb, and a few modulation pedals at the same time. 6 free blocks and a little more DSP power would’ve taken me there. So close. Back to square 1 I guess.

They’re water proof too accidentally dumped a whole cup of water on my shi let her dry out for a few hours flicked right back on lol

Was that a Dustin Kensrue Patch????

I love mine but I often run out of memory when creating presets.

Can you one review with a bass ?

the big question is can you reamp with this? if i can reamp i will bring back my headrush pedal board and save myself 600$.

He sounds EXACTLY like Patrick Rothfuss.

Yay for playing Justified Black Eye!!!! Great demo

I'd like to hear some more clean tones. The high end on cleans sounds more digital than the gain tones. Has to be a way to make them more realistic.

They never get high gain right.

4:07 (and further on...) - I honestly thought you were gonna break out into a Barracuda cover by Heart.

I heard that no use for a name riff bro! Justified black eye! You're the man fluff!

dude...was that a no use for a name riff? awesome

4:47 Not a good idea to play Justified Black Eye... it got stuck in my head and now i'm listening to the song..

i dont understand how he is getting such good tones right away without IR's i have my floor plugged into a power cab and with ir's and a lot of work i can get close. unless its just how it sounds direct in. im not sure.

that converge shirt is awesome!

We have the same name and same music tastes... it's confirmed People named Ryan Bruce are pretty cool

Hello everyone, have a good day

I will have one, oh yes, I will definitely have one

"oh yeah, that's my batch" lol

I comment a lot

I'm kicking myself so hard for buying an hd500x last year. I spent way too much for an average old processor

Just like HXFX with built-in amp modelling

Genial video muchas gracias...very cool video thanks ;)

Been waiting for this......

Yeah Fluff!, No Use For A Name! ❤

Ehh, they all kinda sound like variations of fuzz pedals. Yes I’m using good headphones. They probably sound different through a P.A. system.

That jane doe tee

Rad shirt. Do a video on the Jane Doe tone.

This is so awesome 🖤

I am inspector gadget and I approve this message

Hell yeah on the NUFAN

So, can you just run this thing through the front of a clean amp, or should it go through the effects loop? I'm hella slow when it comes to pedals and effects that aren't an overdrive.

JUSTIFIED BLACK EYES!!!
