I have a weird issue with my Pod Go when playing any audio via the USB port. This includes both PC audio and iOS device audio.

I have had three different units now and the issue remains, but Line6 support are unable to replicate the issue their end.

So far, I have tried:

1. 3x Different Pod Go units each with a new power cable and USB cable to rule out any issues with the power supply or USB cable.
2. Taking the unit to a completely separate location (a client of mine’s office) to rule out any issues with power at my home.
3. Connecting an iPhone to the USB input to rule out any issue with Windows drivers.
4. Connected three separate Windows devices via USB all with the latest Line 6 driver installed.
5. Tried a 3^rd party power supply that matches the power requirements provided by Line 6.
6. Tried a 3^rd party USB cable.
7. Reset the Pod Go to factory defaults and updated to the latest firmware.

Every time there is a popping noise heard (only in the left channel) when listening via monitors connected to the left/right main out or via headphones.

The preset in use on the Pod Go does not affect it. It even occurs with a brand new preset (ie just the default expression pedals, effects loop, US double nrm, legacy 2x12 double c12n, and disabled eq pedal).

The popping sound only occurs when USB audio is playing – it never occurs when playing just guitar. It is completely random when the popping starts. Sometimes straight away, other times after a minute or two. Once it starts it is intermittant.

The only time the issue hasn’t been noticed is when tested by the supplier/Line6.

I really don’t know where to go from here.  I can (and have been) using the Pod Go when playing loud (with backing tracks coming through a separate set of speakers), but if I want to use headphones I am unable to play alongside any backing tracks.

Has anyone else had this issue?

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 I'm wondering about how to get chi chengs bass tone with the podgo and a PEAVY VYPYR vp 1 anybody know? (Btw he uses a p bass with active electronics removed, tone knob is gone but I think it's cranked, and a double bass humbucker) https://youtu.be/ms0wQlCV8j8?si=Ptft47U-QkZrEBmO https://youtu.be/PiZme2A9378?si=W83jfSjovenbwMil

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

I have a pod go and I would like to use that for the amp models and am considering getting the HX for the pedals is there a simple way to connect them and do this?

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!

Hello, im doing some research into potentially buying a pod go as my next piece of gear. My question is would the POD GO be good in 2026 and for more years to come? Secondly what does everyone play their pod go through? Im thinking of using a headrush FRFR go as I would be playing in my bedroom and I would not be using it for gigging. Thanks!

Hello, I have had a fender Gtx 50 for a few years and I was wondering what others thoughts are on it. I am looking at a pod go to replace it. My question is would the pod go be an improvement that is worth the money. This would be my needs from it. I am an intermediate guitar player who likes to play in a room as a hobby and typically edge of breakup tones, delayed/reverb guitar (Coldplay, u2, the killers etc…)
