Finally bit the bullet - Line 6 Pod Go en route to Normanie!

Thought this might be of interest to some folks.

I’d lined up a number of tutorials to watch in the few days I would be waiting for UPS to arrive and now find I have a few more. So after @Kasper kindly wrote his Line6 PodGo - Pros and cons I decided to do a little more digging and came across our friend Henning at EytschPi42. Some of you from the old forum may remember him, from the mixing competition some of us entered a couple of years back, as Henning was one of the judges. Yes he was the mad German !!

Not wishing to clutter up Kasper’s thread, I decided to drop the 5 videos in here. Titles are self explanatory but the main reason for the post was :

a) what do the available factory pre-sets sound like, before you start tweaking. There are supposed to be 128 but Henning seems to have only presented 26 banks of 4 ie 104 or maybe I missed something. Especially as I thought there were more Bass pre-sets ? I am sure @Rossco01 or @Kasper will verify.

b) following from Kasper’s thread, how does the sound quality compare across the POD and the 2 Helix packages.

So being way too hot to play or practice yesterday evening, I cracked a few beers and spent a couple of hours being suitably impressed. :wink:

Is this a Mini Helix or what? Line6 Pod Go Review Part 1/5

Line6 PodGo - All the Presets - Part 2/5

What’s better? PodGo or HX Stomp? Part 3/5

Can the Line6 PodGo compete with the Helix? Big Shootout! Part 4/5

PodGo VS the real REVV amps - Part 5/5

Found the last 2 very interesting and can see why Kasper only uses the POD Go for backup, as the Helix is an amazing piece of kit, that must be a great tool for gigging. Not something this old boy is likely to do but…if it ever happened I still think the POD would be more than enough for me. :smile: The last video just emphasises just how good the Line 6 modelling is.

I would suggest caution watching the “all” pre-set video. I’ve started making a note of some of the kit/blocks that I will likely to use, to build some initial pre-set of my own. So I will be watching that one again - more notes and to see if I missed the 26 absent pre-sets.

And finally after @brianlarsen made this comment on Kasper’s post, I just had to tag him here.

Because we can ! :rofl: Video 2 is for you Brian, go put the kettle on :tea:

Roll on Tuesday !!
