How to Use The Line 6 Pod Go Looper Demo | The Line 6 Looper

Line 6 Pod Go Looper Demo. In this video, I'll show you how to quickly setup and use the 1 Switch and 6 Switch Looper in the POD Go. This is one of the most powerful features in the POD Go and yet it's not really clear how to set it up. This video will show you how to do it from both the hardware itself and the included software, depending on your preference.
If you want to see more POD Go videos, use the Comments Section and let me know!

Thanks for the clear demonstration. I think this is might be a bit inconvenient in a live situation as the looper is part of the signal chain digitally. Can you change patches while recording different layers on the looper? I am sure it can be done in stomp mode within a patch by switching on/off individual effects (as in stomp mode). I think Zoom G5n also has a similar setup for looper (kind of a dealbreaker for me) whilst Zoom G6 has a physical switch to activate the looper. I am actively considering this or Zoom G6 or Valeton GP200.
Mich appreciated! Thanks!

How do you erase the loop in 6 switch mode?
When (and where in the chain) would you use the mono looper vs stereo? Many solo gigs I do are just one speaker on a stand so to use the stereo outputs and effects would be redundant, right? Everything just gets summed to mono via the mono output on the podGO
Hi! Thanks for your video! I was wondering: did you have an issue with the looper playback volume? The looper playback volume is very low compared to the actual playing. I switched from a full pedalboard with a seperate looper pedal and never had this issue. The playback volume is already at max... seems the POD really cuts down the looper output . It doesn't seem to affect you in your video. Many thanks.

I've watched a few how-to videos that breezed over it too quickly and I couldn't get it. For instance, Some talk about a toe switch. Do they mean if you push the toe side all the way down, there's a switch? If so, I can't find one.

Just got the go and wandered here for looping lesson. I was able to have the sound I want looped on snapshot 1 of a preset. Then I changed the sound of snapshot 1 on snapshot 3 which is what I wanted to play over the loop. You have to keep the same effects blocks for all 4 snapshots, but you can save different settings and which effects are on and off. I was able to loop the clean intro to Run to you and play the delayed lead with distortion over it.
I followed every step of the video, and it loads the looper in the chain, but looper will not come on, and doesn’t light up the button? I know how to turn on and off the effects in the chain, but the looper no matter where I put it in the chain, or if it’s in factory or user won’t come on. Anyone here have any idea why? Thank you!

Whilst of course it's good that the Pod Go has a looper, there are some issues. Firstly, it's recording time is very limited and the functionality makes it quite difficult to time things accurately - whilst arguably that's a practice thing, some loopers do give you a countdown timer that makes things a little easier. Secondly, it's not a global feature but is patch specific which is a bit of a shame. This means it's taking up one of your 4 FX user slots, and unless you change to a patch that has the looper set exactly the same, your loop will stop when you switch patches. It really isn't therefore as functional as it could be and its almost as if Line 6 added the looper in as an 'afterthought' just so they could say Pod Go has a looper. However, re the using up of a user FX slot, there are available on KZread and various Pod Go groups variations to the .pgp patch file (script is written in JSON) that can give you extra slots if you're prepared to sacrifice other slots eg FX loop, EQ etc but only in that patch. I have a 6 slot version that I can use with up to 5 fx plus a looper and that adds a lot more flexibility. (*This is NOT a firmware hack which is very unwise & dangerous, but just changes the JSON script in a single patch file and which doesn't affect any other patches or Pod Go functionality or create any risk to Pod Go - Line 6 are fully aware of these btw!).
