Would you be able to do a sort of review of how good the pedal models are going into the front of an amp while bypassing the amp/cab simulation? I love my amp and cab right now, and I want to get rid of my pedal board and just use a pod go, so I’d love to get a feel for how good the pedal models are. Not very many reviews talk about the pedal modeling. It’s almost always the amp modeling and the pedal models are almost ignored.

Now I understand why line 6 offers the preamp option as well as the full amp. Makes total sense now haha

So basically we use "Preamp" section when we connect it to FX Return of Amp? Then we use the "Amp" section when going direct?

Awesome explanation! I got out of the multi-effects scene about a decade ago but I’ve been considering going that way again with all the advances in the field. This really answered some of the questions I had regarding the best way to use them with a real amp. Thanks for this!

This was very helpful man thank you so much for the post! I've found that using the Line Out straight into my FX Return on my Peavey 120 watt heads sounds THE best!! That little pre-amp switching thing you showed me flipped a few lightbulbs in my head and now I'm FINALLY getting the tones I want from a larger speaker cabinets! I've had this Pod for almost 2 years and have only used it for smaller practice amps up until recently. I think what a lot of people miss about this device is that you really have to dive in and learn how it functions in order to get the full potential of what it can do. I almost bought the Helix but it would have likely given me option paralyses with all those different pedals and options. The Pod Go (imo) has everything you could possible ever need especially with all those amp selections and continued updates from Line6! Thanks again for the video, take care!

Thanks for the great explanation of all the hookup options including the sound demos. It's all need to know stuff, no matter what products we are using.

This is gold :D

For the effects loop return, do i need to use the "amp out" output of the pod or the "main out left" output ???

Taylor, thank you for your very useful video. If I'm going to use the chain POD Go Aux-->Amp FX return method, should I disable the cab emulation or should I level it on? I know everything is about tastes and I actually can "play around" with both possibilities but from your experience and knowledge what would be best: Cab Sim On or Off? Thank you, man.

Hey Taylor thank you for your video. I have a question, hoe do you recommend to use it if you use amp and it's directly connected to an PA for monitoring purposes?

Jajaja Hansel reference, best part of the video!

Excellent video, but I am not sure how to make the connection to use the pod go preamps. How should I make the connection of the cables in that case? guitar to the In of the Pod Go, and then how do I connect the amp's effects loop?

Thanks!!! Genial video muchísimas gracias

Hi Taylor, thanks for the informative video, i just wonder why if i put delay and reverb after fx loops and turn on the dirty (Lead) mode on tube amp the delay and reverb doesn't give any sound, but if i put delay and reverb before fx loops its sound terrible. This only happen when i run dirty (Lead) mode on my amp. Its work fine when in clean mode by the way. I look forward to a feedback. Thank You in advance.

If useing the amp molders amps, is there any benifit to useing a tub amp?

What is the difference when you plug your guitar to input of amp and connect both fx unit and amp through each others fx loop ?

I am currently connecting the Pod Amp Out to the amp Return and using the power amp section of a solid state bass amp while using a regular Gibson SG Standard guitar. The first time I tried this, I did what was recommended and disabled the Cab/IR in the Pod but still used the modelling amps. It sounded terrible! I was able to improve the sound by reenabling the Pod Cab/IR. Seems totally wrong but it's working for now. After seeing your video, I'm wondering if I can just use the Pod Pre-amp model then disable the Pod Cab/IR like it's recommended? Haven't tried this yet but I will. Any suggestions would be grateful.

How about pluging multi fx to line in? because its bypass the eq setting in amp too

I run mine into the front end of my Tonemaster Deluxe Reverb. I keep the Tonemaster fairly clean and find that turning off the cabinet simulator and setting the amp to pre-amp only mode, bypassing the modeled power amp, gets me a great tone and I still get the character of whatever amp model I am choosing.

How to bypass a processor when we have the same plugged in series with the pedals??

Would you recommend this with a dsl40cr amp? Instead of getting separate pedals? Playing a 50 gibson standard.

Wait so what can be done with say a 15w or 20w combo amp? Run it on a clean channel with all the effects, pre amp and cab Sims on the modeller on?

Hey Taylor.needing your help on something I'm not sure can be done.i have 3 pcs.of gear I play the most, the hotone ampero, atomic amplifire and a blackstar ID core 150 head.ive been playing the 2 pedals into a 8 channel powered mixer with a ABY pedal and using midi to change presets on both of them.i wanting to include the blackstar for a huge wall of sound.is it possible to tie all 3 together?

My aria pro Ape -6 has a send and return sockets and my sessionette guitar amp has send and return sockets what leads go to where and do I just plug my guitar into the main amp guitar in put socket.

I have a 5150 2 and when I do the four cable method I can never get delay to work. I put it right after reverb and if I turn the delay icon off I get no sound.

Bruh THANK YOU !

I recently returned the pod go because I was a noob and only used headphones. Trying to find a quieter solution for at home play other than my 100w valve king, this 4 cable method would make me go out and grab another one of these.

If I run this into my laney Irt 120 fx send eturn is the a way of running my clean\distortions then use pod go or is the pod go on permanently? I like the cleans and distortions on my amp but would like to utilise the pod in to the mix

Mine says effects loop in and effects loop out. Which one is effects send and effects return?

Lifesaver

So with the pod go, say I have an amp with an FX loop, using the 4 cable method, can I bypass my amps preamp and just use the modeler, or can I only bypass that by going straight to the fx return?

does anyone know if you can use the pod go to midi switch amp channels? my pod hd pro x has certain amp channels on the 5150iii assigned to each preset; i'm interested in upgrading but I need something that can perform channel switches for live playing.

If you do 4cm and you turn off the effects loop then doesn’t that give you best of both worlds? You can use amp emulation on the pod (turn off cab) and bypass the physical preamp?

So the guitar goes in the pod go mono input not in the guitar in, trying that once I get home.

I like to use my GE-200 in my effects loop for the post effects. Unfortunately it doesn't have the loop feature on the unit, so I can't use the pre and post effects along with my amp. I have the overdrives in analog form in front. Another cool thing I found is that, by adjusting the overall level of the GE-200, I can almost use it like a power attenuator. I can crank my power amp for max saturation but turn down the level on the effects unit for the actual output volume. Hopefully I'm not doing something wrong and burning the power amp, but I'll find out soon enough I'm sure.

No idea about the 7 pin cable either, but that's something I'll have to look into. I have a peavey missing the foot controller, so it would be good to know!

What if I wanted to put in my favorite overdrive pedal ? So use multi fx with tube amp but have a pedal attached also. So use multi fx pedal like modulation in fx loop and use multi fx pedals but also 1 or a few actual pedals. Klon,808,TS9.

I did this but my FX dont work now because the way you show it you use the FX loop for input

what output did you use on the POD GO? ........Amp out? or main outs?

No sure why you'd ever want to bypass an EVH block letter preamp. Just saying. Still like your video's! Fun how we never figured this stuff out back in the late 80's. :)

Greetings Taylor, need a little advice. After much research into multi fx pedals I am down to either the new Boss GX-100 or the Line 6 Pod Go. Can’t demo them where I live and I have to take an almost blind decision. My primary criterion is the quality of the sounds, and I will be recording a lot. Other than that, I worry a little about the Pod Go having only four useable blocks (or so they say). I am new to the multi fx universe and any advice would be welcome. Thanks!

Great video. Listen to him guys because he is doing this the right way! Leave him like and subscribe. 24 years ago I worked and played with my band in a professional recording studio.. Not a single one of these noobs working there not even the studio owner told me to hook up my pedals to the FX return. They didnt even tell me there is such thing as FX loop on the back. I had the shittiest sound in the mix and on the stage, and I was blaming my self and my pedals for it. After getting my first multiFX i relised that it have outputs for FX loop on the back of the amp. Too late, by that time i was long enemy with the studio owner and all these noobs working there. Even our soundengeneer who was at the time well known singer in a big metal band didnt know how to hook up pedals to the amp. I had Distortion, MetalZone, Chorus and Delay in the chain, all in the front of the amp, and nobody told me how to hook em up propertly. Now I have my own studio and I bet that so many years later they still didnt learn how to use guitar pedals. Keep teaching these people, they are getting far better lessons from you then I did from entire recording studio crew 24 years ago.
