With the POD Go, Line 6 has added another model to its legendary POD series. Under the bonnet of this compact floorboard is the powerful and extremely flexible sound architecture of the manufacturer's Helix series, which leaves absolutely nothing to be desired in terms of sound design. An LCD colour display ensures simple and clear operation for the more than 300 integrated effects, amplifiers, and speaker simulations, while the expression pedal can be assigned a wide variety of functions. In addition, the Line 6 Pod GO offers a stereo effects loop for integrating further effects. It can also be easily used as an audio interface thanks to the USB connection. With the POD Go Edit app, Line 6 has also provided the latest member of the POD family with an effective tool that enables convenient editing on many devices.
Musicians using the Line 6 Pod GO really will be spoilt for choice when it comes to creating their desired sounds or presets, as the compact unit offers over 300 different effects, as well the award-winning amp modelling of the Helix series, the M series, and the POD Legacy. If the selection on offer still isn't enough, additional IRs (impulse responses) from third-party providers can be effortlessly added to customise the Line 6 Pod GO to every musician's personal requirements. Helping to keep track of all the options on offer is a centrally placed, full-colour LCD screen, which provides clear and intuitive menu navigation when creating new presets. Each effect group has its own colour – as do the eight robust footswitches, so it is easy to see what is going on, even in the darkest corner of the stage.
Whether it's practising at home with the integrated looper, rehearsing with a band, recording in the studio, or playing a live gig - the Line 6 Pod GO is more than a match for every scenario. Despite its outstanding versatility, this remarkable pedal is surprisingly affordable, so that even beginners can enjoy its first-class sound and intuitive operation. Thanks to the Line 6 Pod GO's wide range of connections – such as balanced stereo output, amp out, headphone jack, and USB compatibility – users are unlikely to ever be at a loss in terms of connectivity. All of this makes the Line 6 Pod GO pedal an appealing alternative for beginners who are in the market for an all-round multi-effect floorboard unit, while still offering all the quality expected by seasoned professionals.
The American manufacturer Line 6, which has been an affiliate of the Yamaha group since 2014, is one of the pioneers in the field of digital amplifiers for guitarists. The company was founded in 1996 and, that same year, presented the world’s first digital modelling amplifier: The AxSys 212. The breakthrough came in 1998 with Line 6's POD, which made sound modelling available in home studios for the first time. Since 2015, the Helix series has provided even more refined simulations. The Variax technology has additionally allowed the Californian firm to model electric guitars sounds with ever more flexibility. Besides effects pedals, Line 6 also offers software and recording technology, and is active in the field of digital wireless systems for sound transmission and small PA systems.
A quick practice at home in the morning, rehearsals all day, and then the gig in the evening – the Line 6 POD Go is always an effective and reliable partner, whether it's being used with a power amp and a pair of speakers, a guitar amp, or recording directly to a device via the USB port. Thanks to the dynamic and powerful sound engine, which is taken from Line 6's vastly more expensive Helix series, users have a versatile arsenal of amplifier models and effects at their disposal. However, it's not just the sound of this little box that's full of colour: The vivid LCD screen and the footswitches' coloured surrounds make it easy to see which amp models and effects are currently in use.
