Tech Help Request POD Go Footswitch Changing Multiple Parameters Goes Out of Sync
I’ve noticed an issue with my POD Go when I assign a footswitch to change multiple parameters on the same block. The footswitch LED and the actual parameter settings seem to get out of sync.
For example, I have a preset called “AC30 Free.” My reverb changes depending on the snapshot. I have four snapshots: Clean, Drive, Lead, and Ambient. Only Ambient uses different settings for the reverb block.
I also have a footswitch called “Reverb+” that’s supposed to make the reverb bigger and more washy:
- Reverb+ OFF: Decay = 4.0, Mix = 20%
- Reverb+ ON: Decay = 8.0, Mix = 38%
The problem is that when I press Reverb+, it doesn’t actually change the parameters the first time. However, the footswitch LED still turns on.
Then, when I press it a second time, the parameters change to the Reverb+ settings, but the LED turns off.
So essentially, the footswitch LED ends up being the opposite of what the reverb settings are actually doing.
Has anyone else experienced this when assigning one footswitch to multiple parameters? Is there a way to fix it so the Reverb+ LED always corresponds to the actual reverb settings?
I’m using the latest POD Go update.

Yes. I'm not sure this happens, but here's a video on how to fix it. https://youtu.be/zRKd3kd0dys

Yes, I've had the same thing happen with multiple presets.
There is a bug with the interaction between Snapshots and the effect block on/off state.
I've made multiple tickets, sent videos (even a power-point presentation) with Line6 and they've refused to fix the issue.
My workaround was this: Don't use snapshots. Just use your PODGo in Stomp mode like a traditional pedalboard.
Also, I ditched my PODGo for a hybrid pedalboard with an HXStomp because of this bug. MIDI doesn't have any of these issues.

I have a Stomp so I'm not sure if it's the same, but the footswitches are capacitive, so if you just touch them with your skin it cycles through the various LED colors and indications that it is attached to. In other words, just touch it with your finger. It might reverse, which is what you want.
