The Line 6 Helix is a favorite to many players because of the great sounds built in. It is a huge playground and we couldn’t get through all of them! But one thing is for sure, the models we did use sound great! There are over 270+ amp, stomp and cab models built into this unit. So now that you know a bit about the features, the biggest question would be, how does the POD Go sound? Its a very versatile feature!

By connecting it this way and setting the blocks up correctly, you can have effects before and after your amplifiers preamp for incredible functionality!

So if you wanted to have different sounds for different parts of a song for example, you can create snap shots and change between them on the fly. SnapshotsĪnother great feature with the POD Go is the ability to create snapshots! Snap shots lets you create different variations of presets. This offers some real flexibility when it comes to setting up your effects within your presets.Īnd the fact that it is a stereo loop adds some great versatility. A really cool feature with the POD Go is that you can assign the loop anywhere you want in the signal chain. We all have our favorite effects, and so luckily the POD Go has a built-in loop. The POD Go has a real stereo effects loop built into the unit and it sounds great! This allows you to use your own stomps or effects with the unit. For our review we did not use it however. There is also the option to add a second expression pedal by plugging it into the connector on the rear of the POD Go. We found the expression pedal to be a great built in feature with this unit! In fact, with the amount of effects built into this machine, it would be odd not to have it. This gives you the ability to alter the volume of your signal or inject some great wah or rotary effects! The POD Go comes equipped with an expression pedal that is quite sturdy. So if you have favorites that you have collected over the years, the POD Go will allow you to use them! Expression Pedal We enjoyed the sounds from the built in cabinets, but the really cool feature is that you can also load your own!īy switching your cabinet over to the IR options, you have access to load your own cabs or use cabs IRs made by others. They have come from the Helix and are proven to sound great by players all over the world. The Line 6 POD Go comes with built in speaker cabinet models that you can choose from.
There are a ton of amp and stomp type effect models build into the POD Go! While the controls are easy to use and understand, it will take some time to get use to the options. For example, once you select an amp or preamp model, you can use the rotary encoders to adjust your EQ like any other amp. The rotary encoders then allow you to adjust all of the different settings within the blocks. This makes it easy to set up your rig within the POD Go signal path. The Rotary controls allow you to cycle through the different pages and blocks with the signal path. This makes it easy to know what is assigned to the button. Like we mentioned, each button has a color ring that coincides with the effect colors that Line 6 has designated. The POD Go is quite easy to use and the controls intuitive.
