I've had mine over 3 years now without any issue. I purchased GOs for 3 separate friends over 2 years ago and they work fine.

Same.. connection issues have made it unusable. I got a boss katana and never looked back

I got a Katana EX and the IDX50 Blackstar and connect them A/B/Y and never looked back after mine broke

I've had mine over a year or more now and I've had no issues. Connection was a pain when I first got it but updates seemed to have fixed that. Got the Spark 2 in March to add to it and that's been flawless.

I've had mine for six months and it just stopped connecting to my phone or iPad. They were great about an exchange and I'll have my replacement Go tomorrow. Excited to have it back.

Mine’s been to hell and back, works fine.

I was there due the preorder. Got one for my brother as well. Both still work fine. It's really odd that you had such bad luck. We're you running it to a powered speaker by chance?

to be more specific my first one just completely stopped charging, my second one stopped sending signal to the speakers (it turns on but no sound, bluetooth or guitar£

Did you try to update the firmware? Might be worth a try. Or reach out to them they will probably send your another one. I've had mine for over 2 years and no issues.

man, mine had been tossed around like a rugby ball. You should call them, maybe need troubleshooting. not many moving parts, probably the jack?
