The Helix line of Line 6 floor processors have been a major hit with Sweetwater customers and the industry over. Now you can access a heaping helping of these iconic tones without the all-in size and price tag. Inside the POD Go youll find 270+ Helix and legacy models of your favorite classic amps, stomps, and cabs. These you can mix and match in endless arrangements for dream tones never possible from a traditional rig. All models are designed to sound great in a traditional amps-and-stomps guitar chain or on their own, sent directly to a PA or computer.
As with every latter-day Line 6 floor processor, the POD Go gives you bulletproof construction, eight tour-grade rugged footswitches, and a cast aluminum expression pedal thats rated to survive life on the road. Yet for all its strength, the POD Go remains remarkably light and compact — the perfect throw-and-go unit for a backpack or suitcase guitar traveler.
A drawback to lesser floor units is having to squint to see that one line of monochrome text as it flies by between patch changes. But not so with the Line 6 POD Go. Its full-color screen reads out your full signal chain at a glance, and with a powerful backlight thats easy to read even on a dark and hazy stage.
The POD Gos integrated expression pedal injects the players heart and soul into every performance. From volume swells and rotary accelerations to landing the perfect Mick Ronson cocked-wah sound, the expression pedal adds a ton of potential to the POD Gos powerful amps and FX. And if youre the type of player who wants more expression, you can always add a second expression pedal (sold separately) down the line for dedicated wah/volume foot control.
Achieving total recall on an analog setup is tough. And even then, all it takes is a thoughtless bandmate grabbing a knob or moving a pedal to completely trash your hours of hard work. Fortunately, the Line 6 POD Go gives you the tools you need to craft countless guitar rigs and recall them in a flash. Snapshots doesnt just let you pull up tones a song at a time — here you can set verse, chorus, and lead tones and access them on a section-by-section basis, all in real time. Snapshots is just another way in which the Line 6 POD Go can greatly enhance your performance life.
Floor units like the Line 6 POD Go excel in the recording environment. There are no amps to set up, no time-consuming mic placement rigamarole — just dial up your favorite sounds and connect to a laptop via USB (cable included). Now you can track guitar parts direct into a DAW session in pristine 24-bit/96kHz stereo quality. Or, for greater expandability, you track your parts dry and take advantage of the POD Gos re-amping capabilities for endless tonal variation down the road.
A guitar cab and its speakers account for roughly 33% of a total guitar sound (guitar & pedals + amp + cab = sound). Thankfully, the POD Go gives you room grow. Support for third-party guitar cabinet impulse responses (IRs) means you can drop in all your favorite closed- and open-backs with whatever speaker combinations you can imagine. And with the leaps and bounds todays IR manufacturers are making in cab tones, this one feature more or less ensures the Line 6 POD Go a permanent place in your rig.
