So... I tried the Line 6 POD GO. 

Thanks for all the love guys, you are all literally the best! Join the discord, engage with the community!! Let me know what you want to see next below!! 👇

Chuckled when he said he knocked his guitar out of tune because it 100% sounded out of tune prior to that.

Great demo! I've was lucky to be able to get a POD Go back in June. It's awesome, I love it. The tones are amazing but most importantly is this is so easy to use and program.

Great video man, thanks! I just got my Pod Go recently and I'm still learning the ropes and watching videos and having a blast. It's such a fun little modeler and it has the exact same amps/FX/cabs as the big Helix...the two sound EXACTLY alike. To me the Pod Go is for people that do small-medium sized gigs, or want to have a solid modeler for the studio, or both. Whatever you need it for you can't go wrong @$449!

Top tier demo Taylor, you've been killing it lately!

Good demo. I really like that you took the time to show how well the expression pedal works. Thanks

I almost just spit out my coffee at the dog thing in the beginning... 10/10. Very tempting option for a modeler. It gives many people all they should really need, including the full HX amp models instead of the lower grade POD/HD models.

Taylor! Thanks for your review!!! I just bought my POD Go and boy it's a beast... I was searching for someone talking about adding a whammy to it, and after some 6 or 7 reviews you're the first person actually talking and explaining how to add a Whammy to it!! I saw people who I think got paid to do the review and they did not even mention the Whammy on the expression pedal!!!!!!!! So, great job there. I'm really happy with my purchase and I'm really happy that I upgraded from my HD500 to the POD Go Cheers and keep the metal going!

Dude, amazing video. I am on a tight budget upgrading from Line 6 XT Live I’ve used for the last 10 years. This helped me pull the trigger on the Pod Go thank you!

Sounds great. Especially being you just opened in t and started using it. Sounds really really good. This is a modeler I can justify being that I don't play professionally, and I mostly play at home, and just sometimes need to have something like this for cover tunes and playing small gigs. It has more than enough effects, and so much easier to use. Really liked the pitch shifter pedal as it sounded good and seemed to sound really good.. I think this is a very practical item.

What an excellent demo. Well done sir....thank you.

When the pod go was announced, I admittedly wondered what would justify its existence with the hx stomp being around, but in execution, it makes a lot more sense than I initially thought and definitely seems like it's much more viable for the gigging musician. That said, since it has the same audio quality as the helix products, it seems like a no brainer for anyone trying to get that helix sound, for less than helix prices. It is kind of annoying that companies either don't provide a power switch for their effects units, or give you a massive wall wart and there's seldom a compromise

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

This was a great video. Thank you for putting this together. I have been looking at the Pod Go as a replacement for my Floor Pod Plus, which I still use for amp-less recording (channel MK Sounds) and have used live direct (no amp). I was leary after hearing that the number of effects one can run at once may be limited, but I usually only run distortion, reverb, gate, and occasionally delay at once. I believe that the distortion/amp does not take up an effects spot in the chain so I should be good. Thanks again, MK

I bought a Pod Go a few weeks ago to replace my 10-year-old Floor Pod Plus. I went mostly amp-less years ago and I used the Floor Pod for both live and studio work. The Pod Go was exactly what I was looking for without dropping a grand or more on an expensive modeler. Is it a Boogie Triple Crown? No. Is it a hell of a lot easier to take to a gig or record with? You betcha. I used the Pod Go as an interface last night into Studio One to get some songs started and I can't wait to throw them up on my channel. Overall, if you are looking for a great modeler with killer sound and don't need a ton of complex routing options, the Pod Go is your ticket. Thanks for your review and all the best from the Bay Area. MK

Great video Taylor. Got my POD GO a month or so ago after using an HD500X then Bias FX2 for a few years. Great little device for the money. The Badonk amp sim coupled with one of the Ownhammer IR's is a great combo.

Great video! Really enjoying your content

I got one, sounds great.

You gotta look into snapshots man. It's basically a patch change within a patch. It eliminates the lag when switching. I do it with helix, and it's just like switching channels on an amp.

I'm a simple with simple needs, I bought a mooer ge200 to get me started with multi effects board, now im looking into this as an upgrade, I mainly use 4 effects anyway lol (chorus, delay, reverb and an OD) this will be perfect.

The pod go has been one of the best gear purchases I made in a long time. You do get a lot more than what your paying for and that is rare to find now a days in a product. It’s fairly simple to use and if you really want to get deep into editing you can.

Thank you. I think you just convinced me to sell my giant pedalboard with individual pedals and look for this smaller and more versatile unit!

Great video! I’m into 60’s and 70’s rock. I love big loud classic rock amp sounds where a cranked amp and a phaser or a overdrive pedal are all you needed. Unfortunately that sound is impossible for me to use at most indoor gigs. I’m finding more and more I need to go to a silent stage setup. I never get 2 channels anywhere I go so a mono sound path is perfect for me. If anything this has more functionality than I need. Generally speaking I like to set a lead tone for the amp and have boosting options for volume increases. Volume control after the amp makes a lot of sense because you can save yourself so head room in case you have a lazy sound man. Other than the power supply this is a perfect unit for the straight ahead guitarist that doesn’t want layers of sound. Just dial in a tone and go!

I got mine around a month ago or more paid $425,I'm loving it!!

Great review. Thank you 🤙🏾

Hey man. Great review. Really went through the functionality well. I particularly like the amp out. Great idea. Looks like a great choice for gigging. If gigging ever happens again. 😕

I would love to see a POD Go/GE/Ampero (same price point) comparison and shoot out with stock and 3rd party IRs.. you know the biscuits and gravy of your channel.. I appreciate all you do. :)

“Everything is of the caliber you’d expect from a company like line 6” *sweats in Spider practice amp series* Hehe, couldn’t resist 😄 Maybe a hi gain tone shootout between this and a Mooer/Ampero in the same price range. If one of the hi gain choices happens to be Engl. Well, not gonna lie I’d be ok with that 😁 Hmmm, I wonder if all three brand have Bogner models?. I recently checked out the Uber from Nalex and am loving the attack on that (assuming its faithful to the real world amp). A little less saturated sounding than Peavey/Mesa/Engl and definitely needs boosting, but the attack you get especially when triplet picking is so much more present and in your face 😳😍🥰

Great vid! Quick question (sorry if it's already been asked.) How do delay and reverb tails work when switching patches? My plan is to use this live, and I frequently switch from a distorted lead patch with reverb to a clean patch without reverb. If I hit a high bend on the lead patch with delay and then instantly switch to the clean patch for the next part of the song, will that delay tail continue to ring out after I switch the patch, or will it be killed? Thanks!

Make a video about the same patch on the go and the stomp and find the limit on what can be done :D

YEAH. A month or two ago I ordered the Pod Go four different times and each time the order got cancelled. I reached out to the vendor and got a nice "We're sorry" email. And I ordered the HX Stomp instead, because it has MIDI ports which I need, and it lets you do two amps at the same time, which the Go doesn't. But the Pod Go is definitely the better deal!

If the output signal passes through the amp out, will the power amp be bypassed? Great demo btw! :)

I want one so bad. Awesome video my friend. Have a good day

I'm finally getting my helix LT and I cant wait! But the pod go sounds like a killer piece of gear to acquire despite the limitations. Thats cool that it still uses the pitch wham, is it capable of utilizing that block as a "drop tune" function?

Right now I’m between the Firehawk Fx and Pod go. Honestly which one would you go for man? I’ve been so thoughtful about that and I’m getting different opinions so I’m confused. Your answer will clear all those thoughts 💭

Good vids sir. Thanks for pro riding all this value sir..

please do try a Video of Multi-Effects units through FRFR Speakers (Headrush, etc) thanks! 😊

Which Jackson is the one you used? Oh, and does this puppy have an expander as I have fallen in love with expanders over plain gates?

Great video.... Pls make a comparison between this and the Mooer Ge250 which I think it's comparable in term of price and functionality

I actually have an Atomic Amplifire 6, but i've seen some videos about this POD go and been thinking to sell my amplifire to try this one, do you think it is a good deal or i better keep my amplifire?

the avgn clip is pretty funny considering even the pod 2.0 with its huge transformer actually ends with a standard wall plug

Where did you put your output To make that sound clearer?

thank you very much for the video. I have the Stomp and since I bought a few Neural DSP plugins I never played again with the helix stomp at home. But in a live situation plugins are not very useful. That is why a kept the helix.

Nice and crunchy

I use 4 inch extension cords for those type of bulky power supplies to fit on my rack power conditioner. They still suck though, you're right.lol

I typically just use OD, distortion, delay, tremolo, reverb pedals on my pedalboard. I want to keep it simple for blues, classic rock gigs. Can I replace these pedals with a Pod Go plugged into my digital Fender Tone Master or Quilter amps(tired of lugging around my tube amps and would also like to scrap my pedalboard)?

this was excellent. Is there any major differences between this and the Boss GT100? Loved the video. Have subscribed!

How does this sound through headphones? I have an HD 500 and was always pretty disappointed with the headphones sound. It makes it very difficult to tweak settings when I'm playing late at night.

Really like your reviews. Just enough info, no constant shredding and drowning everything in delay and reverb! One thing though: is it just me, or is something clipping half the time? There is a crunchy clipping distortion on the mids. Is it the units input or did you record too hot? Or... is it just in the sound of the unit? Reminds me of the distortion sounds of my old GT6 and not in a good way 😅

So, it sounds great for metal like you played in your demo. Does it do clean tones or blues?

Can this be used as a daw controller? Like for instance control my sounds in presets for BIAS Effects for instance

Hello and thank you for the video. Is there a way to play backing tracks on the Pod GO? Can't understand why they miss the line in IO. Also, is the headphones connection stereo? Thank you 🙏

Great job! I’m a big fan of game changer audio gear. Are we able to download unique effects to this unit? I’d love to see that.

Podgo vs hx would be sweet. Nice review dude. \m/

Re: lag with switching between presets - the snapshots alleviate any sort of audio dropouts mid-song; I suppose the only drawback would be that you couldn't switch between different amp models / more than 4 effects blocks within a preset and its 4 snapshots.

How much better is the amp and cabinet sims compared to an old BOSS GT-100? I am from Brazil, here even the basic units are REALLY espensive, so i still use the GT-100.

Thanks for this in depth video! So this unit has a L and R main outputs... Does this mean true stereo effects if connect to 2 amps? (L output to one Amp, R output to the other amp) Thanks :)

Question is the wah considered an fx block? If I go helix route I may consider this or helix. But I want to know more about the blocks. A usual tone for me is gate boost, amp, for my lead gate wah boost amp delay chorus and verb

Is there a board like this that I can connect a mic to sing through also

I'm glad he cut away to the nerd about the 9V power supply. 🤘🤘

That allen wrench adjusting expression pedal is great in my opinion...I had it in POD HD 300 now I'm using Mooer GE 250 and I miss that possibility... I think all brands should give that option to their modellers

Can I use this as straight effects and use the distortion from my 5150? Can I also put a tube screamer over my amp dirt?

I just ordered one. I have my tube rig but wanted something to just throw on headphones and jam and maybe do a little recording when I buy a new computer.

Hi Taylor! I've just sold my Headrush Gigboard because I want to tyr the line 6 stuff but i'm very confused about buy a POD go, POD go wireless or the HX stomp since all of them cost exactly the same in my city, What are your thoughts on this? Thanks in advance

Hi... it's great video.... Please make a comparison between Hotone Ampero and Line 6 POD go...

Can you put a Looper after the pod go?

Shoutout with the HX Stomp, stock IRs and same settings please🤘🏼

How do you like this compared to the HX stomp? What would you buy to run with a powerstage power amp into a cab for live playing?

What do you think Taylor, the results of the Pod Go vs Zoom g6,....do the sound experiece differ? Love cheers

That avgn clip was gold. I hate those too.

Subscribed as soon as i saw The Office🤣🤣

I was this close to buying a Boss Gt100 (or even GT1) but now I am being told by those in the know that COSM is outdated, esp from a sound quality point of view. Would this be a far better alternative. I am a beginner to the whole effects thing, though I do play a bit, in case that matters. And I plan to use the device mainly for home recording and some live. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Nice demo. Thanks... i would like to hear some clean sound experiments.

Is this thing unusable without a cab? I've been playing with amp sims for 4 years now and want something new.

They raised the price from $450 to $500 already because of production issues but you could have got it easily from Amazon and Guitar Center. Sweetwater and other vendors are having issues because they are not as prioritzed for Line6

Talking about power supply...my POD HD500 need to be unplug every time I stop using it because there is no power on/off switch...

How I can get infinity sustain in pod go

i got to let u know i have a unit, right in front of me ....and bought it full paid aswell...iin the mean time can u share what interface u r using or a tech and DAW?

Is there an XLR out? Or just 1/4 jacks

Who uses presets that way? Presets are for different songs, snapshots are for different song sections...No lag with snapshots.

Can it switch patches on the Line 6 guitars too????

did you notice any overtly fizzy sounds in the high end? i demo'd one of these in a guitar center and everything no matter what i did just had that tin can kind of sound to it. coulda been the amp i was plugged into but i just wanted to get a second opinion.

I like to see infinity sustain in distortion in pod go line 6

which is better the headrush the stomp or this

Knowing the size of the Pod Go, when I saw the size of the box they shipped it in, yeesh. I hope they didn't ream you on shipping for that, man.

is not having xlr outputs a big deal for live? is it not possible to just use the quarter inch outputs to go direct?

@ 1:48 thanks for telling us what it is...but still with soo much of tech on this pod i still get frequencies

Any Canadians out there still waiting for one of these lol I’ve been waiting for months

Hey man.Like your tuning,what is it?

New subscriber here, interesting RU-vid gear channel bro.🤘🏻🎸🎶

“The whole chassiss is made out of metal” Lol

I'd really appreciate it if you'd buy the real versions of every amp the Pod Go models and do a shootout with them all and throw in the Ampero, Axe FX and all the MOOERS :)

What model of Jackson is that?

Chassis is pronounced CHA-SEE.

I rather wonder how this fares vs the Boss GT-100 tbh. Great review btw =)

It’s a Firehawk FX with helix tones.

nice video, thank you for not just opening it, I hate that shit. did you notice you had a visitor at 14:40

It's appealing to me to do away with a loaded pedalboard (and convert that into cash for other gear) and use the POD Go instead, but from the reviews it looks way too fiddly. My lifeforce is consumed by fiddly things. Still thinking on it.

My first time to the channel. Why did you play everything with distortion? I was interested in what other options were available. Did I stumble on to a metal channel?

If u were to play that on stage against my fender twin with my kick ass distortion pedal threw the clean chanel. Cranked.you would throw it down the tip
