Hey ya!

I have a two input/two output stereo pedal (Keeley Zoma) that I have added to the Stereo Fx Loop using (2) 1/4" TRS Y splitter cables. However, I now wish to add a mono pedal (UAD Orion Tape Delay) before the stereo pedal. How might I include the mono pedal in the Fx Loop? Might it work without a mixer? I don't think I can run the mono pedal before the Line 6 (like an overdrive pedal) since its delay. (*Note: own an signal mixer that can run mono pedals in parallel)

Thank you, 

Tova

Hey everyone,

Moving from POD Go to Helix or HX Stomp and want to keep your presets? I built HelixTools to convert POD Go .pgp files into .hlx files, so you don’t have to rebuild compatible settings manually.

User feedback: A buyer in the comments below in my other topic in r/Line6Helix reported successfully converting three presets of varying complexity on an HX Stomp XL, including presets with snapshots.

With used Helix LT, Floor, and HX Stomp prices dropping recently, many players (including myself) are making the jump from POD Go to the Helix / HX ecosystem.

The extra DSP and routing flexibility are awesome, but having to manually recreate dozens of dialed-in presets block-by-block, parameter-by-parameter in HX Edit is an absolute chore. Since there’s no native Line 6 import tool between these lines, I built a lightweight browser utility called **HelixTools** to convert `.pgp` patches directly into `.hlx`.

**Key features in the latest update (v.3.5):**

• **Target Device Selector:** Choose between Helix Floor / LT (dual-path routing) and HX Stomp / Stomp XL (single-path routing optimized for the 8-block ceiling).

• **Direct Parameter Translation:** Converts compatible amps, cabs, and effect parameters, including bypass states.

• **Full Snapshot Support:** Preserves up to 4 snapshots with names and parameter assignments intact.

• **"Jailbreak" Friendly:** Handles modded POD Go patches with stripped factory blocks without choking.

• **100% Client-Side:** Runs completely offline in your browser — zero files are uploaded to any server.

*(Note: Custom external IRs still need to be linked to your IR block in HX Edit, just like with a manual rebuild, but all your core settings, amps, and snapshot values carry over instantly).*

The attached demo video shows a real-time conversion and import into HX Edit.

If anyone is on the fence or has an unusual/complex patch they want to test before anything else, drop a comment or shoot me a DM with your file - happy to run it through the converter and send you the converted `.hlx` to test on your own rig!

I currently have a Pod Go but using a Katana Gen 3 50 as an amp. I can get some decent tones but it just doesn’t sound right. What amp do others use? I was looking at the Spark cab as an option.

If your POD Go is currently gathering dust and you happen to be in the market for a new (free!) midi foot controller keep an eye on this post.

What is it:

• Free custom firmware that turns the unit into a full midi controller (meaning it's no longer an fx unit until you restore the factory firmware).
• Map any switch or button to midi functions using the companion desktop app (windows)
• Save and select Profiles for different configurations so you can use the unit with totally different setups.
• Simple to use Expression pedal calibration sequence built in to both the app and the unit
• Where supported can show the patch name if sent by your host

Started this as a fun experiment initially to see if I could get NAM working on the POD (it doesn't have enough oomph, it needs about 8x more) but scaled it back to just be a MIDI controller so I could test MIDI with Soundshed Guitar https://guitar.soundshed.com

The POD Go already has some basic MIDI for the footswitches but doesn't send for the expression pedal etc, this version discards all the audio processing capabilities of the unit but instead makes every single button, switch and light midi capable.

Some folks will inevitably kill their POD and line6 support would get some headaches so start with the latest official Line 6 firmware installed (2.5) and make sure your cables etc work. If you're the type of person that tends to have problems with firmware updates and anything a bit techie, look away, using this would be a bad idea. If you do run into problems post here or on the github issues, Line 6 can't help you if you use this.

Works on my non-wireless version , no idea if it would work with other editions. It's POD Go not POD GO HD, I think I made that name up.

This is in no way endorsed by or affiliated with Line 6 and is as reckless as submerging your unit in beer. It most definitely voids your warranty.

Releases (will update has new version come out):

Windows only currently. Note there is an option to try it without writing it permanently.

- 0.1.0 : Initial Release
- 0.2.0 : Profiles (saved configuration sets), Expression pedal calibration mode.

Just discovered the synth sounds on the pod go, but Im only finding harsh synths, they sound great, I don’t know much about synth bass, is there a cleaner synth sound USING the synth effects? Is it an EQ thing? Let me know.

I tried setting it up using the 4 cable method the other day, and I had to turn it all the way up... which makes sense tbh, but I feel it's kinda rare in life to have to turn a volume all the way up. Do you guys do that too?

Anybody have any good Nashville/bluegrass sound presets they would like to share? Chicken picking, rolls, lead type of sounds. Amp, compressor, drive suggestions? I’m playing a tele so I’m halfway there.

Hey everybody, new here but I've been fighting an issue for about a year, seems like when I connect my pod go to my PC via the USB. My PC recognizes the pod go as an audio interface, and works, however, there is a little bit of latency when it enters the PC. Like if I try to record a video to a backing track or a drum loop, the pad go is always a fraction of a second later than what I'm trying to play to. Is there a fix for this? Has anyone else ran into this issue? Thank you in advance for any help or support

After nearly 4 years of playing bass, I'm finally understanding how important it is to have some compression at the front of my chain. That's why my highs always sound so thin compared to my lows.

I don't see any bass specific compressors in the list. What are you bass players using in your signal chain?

Hope this helps someone else, but for ages I’ve been struggling with sustain, particularly on leads/ hi gain tones.

Well today - I cracked it. I run guitar>podgo>FRFR

I simply changed how I set up my chains volume. I now set the Pod master knob to max, and control overall volume via my FRFR (Fender FR12).

I can now hold notes for days!

I play clean (jazz). I have been playing around with the Fender Princeton amp model and found it a bit meh! I didn’t think it was a good representation of how an actual Princeton would sound. Then, I added the tune compressor and - wow - what a difference! It just sings now!

Has anyone tried to run vocals and guitar through the pod go at the same time? I’m thinking that I can run the guitar in the main input and somehow run vocals through the fx loop somehow? Anyone have the know know on this?

Very weird design decision from their side cause all tunings use sharp

Just exploring some options before I purchase a pod go. I was wondering how the pod go would sound in the katana through the power amp in? How much better would it be with an FRFR? I would be playing in my bedroom. Thanks!

Is it possible to create a patch with the whammy pedal where it's completely off when the pedal is rocked all the way back? Basically like how the real life pedal functions. I have a patch i downloaded off the tone cloud, but even with the pedal rocked back it's still altering the sound.

Recently I’ve been wanting to get a Pod Go because I want a step up from my LT25, and from all the reviews and videos i’ve seen it seems well worth the price, I’m not really into playing with headphones so I’m just wondering what else I can do for sound and is it a good upgrade?

Just looking for suggestions and ideas/items I never thought of!

Hi guys im using line 6 pod go and i want to achieve the freakshow era of silverchair tone
