Man, thank you, I bought a POD go a week ago, but unfortunately there is no tutorials like this one.

Success! Glad to help. I was hoping to be able to help someone with this

Holy cow you and Ola really get great metal tones out of this thing. Just ordered one and can't want to set it up!

Great video man ! So hyped to dial in my tones. Ordered my Pod go today and can't wait until it arrives !

Thanks man, this is the best tone I've ever played with! I added a 4th snapshot, low-gain but with the delay and reverb :D

Glad they're spreading their Helix tech/software to many devices and not keeping it on their most expensive units.

"I make everything sound the same" Haven't heard truer words! Im in the same boat! Great video!

Man thank you so much for this tutorial!

Great vid, happy to subscribe

Love this! More like this on the pod go please!

Another killer video!

Dude, gotta stop and say thank you for these videos. You helped me get an amazing metal tone with my helix and IR's last year, as a total beginner. And now you're helping me recommend the Pod GO to a friend with very little to spend on a good setup. Thanks a lot. Also, I love your metal tones. Do you happen to have a page where I can just drop a donation your way as a thank you for all the help?

Very nice video man, 🤘🏼 Is that DM Titan on this guitar? Sounds so brutal though 🤘🏼

Fantastic device! Good review and great thrash fuckin' metal tone! The only thing i didnt like was that shity things moving besides the screens... Please, make more videos like these. If you get your hands on a Gt-1000/ Core it would be awesome to make a video this! Cheers from Portugal 🍺🤘

Very nice tutorial. Do you have any PodGo tutorial for live sound?

Huge thanks! Just bought Pod GO yesterday and try to understand it :) Can you say how you saved snapshots? What you pushed on device? Can I save snapshot in the software?

Really thinking hard on this one. My amp is going back to the shop and I'm sick of being without a amp for a month Everytime this 6505+112 shits out on me. Thinking this and a head rush 1x8 should meet my bed room playing needs.

Great video. Is there a way to get a metal sound and a clean sound in the same patch? I can’t imagine snapshots get the high gain amps clean enough? Thanks!

🤘🏻

What is the speaker and interface u r using...coz mine sucks

Hey Nick thanks for the vid. If you were in a local modern metal band, and wanted to run a board like this through a powerstage 170 and into a 2x12, would you choose the POD GO or the HX Stomp? I use a regular rhythm tone, a lead tone with heavy delay and some reverb, and a clean tone.

Does the pod go have the German Ubersonic amp?

Hello, good video! Could you help me get impulses? , I could not finish the edition and I observe that my folder of "impulses" is empty, I am new with POD GO, thank you very much

What amp is the badonk based on?

ok so what i want to know is this...im using this setting exactly except no ir or cab sim just my 4x12 cab ...now if i wanna match volume to my other presets ..whats the best way...turn down the channel volume ? or what other options do i have ? all my other presets i keep the main volume on the unit at half way but with this preset its at 10 oclock...

So I had a question about these Ownhammer Workhorse IRs, because as I said in a comment on your last video, I'm really interested. How do they differ in your opinion from the Heavy Hitters pack? I have the Heavy Hitters pack, but now started using an IR pack by a new company that I prefer over the Heavy Hitters pack, but I hear the Workhorse pack is like next level compared to the older Ownhammer stuff (not that the old stuff was bad, absolutely not)

Dude... If what you have is working for you.. USE IT. Don't get caught up in Gear Acquisition Syndrome (GAS). All of these IRs are AWESOME. We have access to hundreds or thousands of cab/speaker/mic options. Use what works for you. That's all I can say and my point is... Don't get caught up in details that derail your creativity or slow you down. Cheers Bro!

Hi Nick! I have autism, and I'm exceptionally sensitive to high end frequencies. I just had to send a Moore GE-200 back because I couldn't get a sound out of it that wasn't painful. Would the Pod Go work for me? I know it has more EQ options like shelfs and high pass/low pass etc. I'm using Sennheiser 598 headphones. Sorry for the big comment, but I'm finding it really hard to get a low-volume rig going, and it's starting to upset me.

@NickHillMakesMusic

I know it the Helix has what called a global EQ where you would be able to roll off the high end on everything. I believe the POD Go has this too. You also may want to research headphones and their frequency responses or curves and find a pair that is more favorable for your hearing needs. I hope that helps.

@@NickHillMakesMusic Thanks for the response; I really appreciate it. I love the tones you get in your videos, and I'll use them as a reference point when I'm getting started!

Silly question but I'm curious: does the POD GO device change the tone a lot compared to just the Line 6 software on its own as a plugin ?.. that is a GREAT tone here though.

@NickHillMakesMusic

When you say software, are you referring to Helix Native? The POD Go, while not having the same amount of DSP power, uses the same technology as the Helix products so you can get the same sounds.

@yoe91

Жыл бұрын

@@NickHillMakesMusic Yeah, the latest Helix Native. I'm getting decent sounds, esp with those quality OwnHammer IR's, but I'm wondering if there isn't just an extra realism generated by the hardware from a physical device like the POD GO. Like just that source tone itself before any EQ/tweaking. I'd imagine that would be more realistic in the POD GO vs pure plugin power, eg Helix Native.

@NickHillMakesMusic

Жыл бұрын

Nope. Think of the plug-in simply using your computer hardware as the DSP hardware/processing power you’d normally use in a hardware POD Go or helix. It’s still computing the same 1’s and 0’s

have you had any success making a preset that has tones as heavy as your first two metal tones? but also being able to have a clean, decently ambient sound? or would i be looking at two seperate presets in order to make that work?

@vishnugopakumar8807

chances are you won't find an amp/cab combo that can have smooth cleans and can be pushed to distortion. it'll have to be two presets, but you can have 4 snapshots within each one!

Have you tried getting a metal tone going into an amp and cab? I cant seem to get a decent high gain tone and I am at a loss with this.

Like, a real amp and cab WITH Pod Go, HX Stomp or Helix device? Or, a metal tone with an amp and can on its own? The answer would be yes to both.

If you’re gonna do that, you’ll want to only run the Amp block. Many folks fun it 4-cable method (look it up if you’re not familiar) but you don’t want to run a full patch into the front of the amp as in most cases, you’ll be running as an example.. OD Block> Amp Block> Cab Block then into your real amp which will add its own color, gain, power section color THEN, into a guitar cab. If that’s the scenario, you’re definitely gonna sound like a wet blanket over it all. Cab into a cab won’t sound good at all. There are plenty of videos here on YT to integrate an FX processor into a full rig.
