Finally! A good overview of how to hook this up! You take someone new to guitar with a small combo amp and they watch a couple hundred KZread’s on how great Pod Go sounds and buy one. They watch a hundred videos with guys playing EVH getting studio sounding tones but never actually SHOW any detail of how to hook it to your crappy combo amp, your computer, or your monitor. Either they go into extreme detail on internal switching or something else but never actually show you where to plug in at or what noise will come out if you do this or that input/output. Now I’d like to see a video on hookup of the nice overdrive pedals I’ve got into the PG and get good tones. Thanks for putting this out there! It helped a lot!

thank the lord for this video, the pod go has been nothing but a headache but I feel a bit better after watching this, thanks man

I thought the POD Go is also an audio interface and you can record audio over USB. Isn't this true, and if so, why would you plug it into an interface then?

I bought my Pod Go last week and have been looking for this video ever since. I have an old Fender Evil Twin in the garage that the high-impedance jack is messed up. I was thinking about running the Pod Go into the "Power Amp In" of the Twin essentially making it a 2x12 powered cabinet. Then you mentioned the very technique at the end of your video. You're a genius! Thanks again and keep rockin'! Sick pinch harms, too, by the way. MK

Great video. I'm a bit of a technophobe, but was attracted to the simplicity of the Pod Go (I'm a certified plug-and-play man!) This has sealed the deal. I feel confident buying one now. Couldn't find any other vids that cover all the setups, so thanks for your invaluable input, my friend.

This couldn't have been better. Perfectly explained.

Hey Jason, thanks so much. I have been struggling with the 4 Cable Method and my Marshall DSL 20 for weeks. I could not get it to work or get my head around it. Been through the manual and numerous other forum posts. When I saw this video I thought "It can't be that easy", but EUREKAAAAA!!! A few things to mention though in the hope that it will help others struggling. The level of the signal before the Pod Go FX Loop block being passed through the FX Loop must be adjusted by the FX Mono Loop block controls, to get a nice level. My Marshall pedal FX loop switch must be engaged to bring in the effects after the Pod Go FX Mono Loop block. And, very importantly, the level of the effects/signal after the loop is controlled by the Pod Go main volume control. Which muddys the water and threw me a curve ball, as it has no effect on the signal before the FX Mono Loop block.

Thanks for all your tutorials. I just got a pod go and know nothing about it. Your videos are helping me.

Juust the video I was looking for!! greaat!

Awesome video. I was looking for this! Thanks man.

Really helpful video!! Thanks Jason!!

Excellent tutorial 👍🏻👍🏻

4 cable method is awesome with great sounding amp. You get more than 4 extra effects. You get wah, volume, and boost (eq). That with the 4 additional effects makes it awesome. Not to mention snap shots

Does the amp out have a different volume control

I think you solved a mystery for me. A friend of mine came over with his Pod Go so I could test it out, as I was thinking of buying one for recording. We plugged the main mono output into my Allen Heath analog board via a DI box. It just sounded terrible with over driven and distortion sounds. It was harsh, sounded fizzy with the highs and muddy at times also. I don't think, based on what you mentioned here, that the IR cab was engaged, as I know this unit can sound really good from other videos I have watched. I was super very disappointed I will have to get my friend's Pod Go back over here for another test drive. Thanks for sharing this info as I really would like to get great distortion and overdrive recording direct into a DAW. Phil NYC Area

Omg! Jason, imho, you just reinvented the wheel... So, main output from Pod, to return of amp right? Now, could I add a Line 6 DL4 to that set? I suppose it could be connected to the pod’s fx loop right? Thank you?

Does it just/only bypass the tone controls in the front when using the return in the back? In other words, if I chose to use the amp's distortion and wanted to swap between clean and dirty, does that still work? I don't have an amp to test right now.

Thank you 👍

are you using the main out on the pod go or the amp out? does it matter which one you use on a real guitar combo amp? Also, is there a way to turn off all cab sims for the unit so I don't have to keep doing it each time I change a preset? Thanks! great videos!

Great vid. If you don't mind, a couple questions. 1. Did you run AMP OUT to the front of the amp or did you use the L Mono Out? From what I'm to understand, there is a difference. 2. Have you ever run direct-to-PA and ALSO to your amp/cab for live play? The reason I ask is because if you're running direct, the amp sound won't matter. You'll end up just using it for stage volume. 3. If you have FRFR's, you can also run XLR our to FOH from them. I've done it with the Headrush FRFR 108's a couple of times.
