Workflow
Welcome to the POD Go Edit Pilot’s Guide. This guide contains details of the POD
Go Edit v.1.11 application’s features and functionality with Line 6® POD® Go devices.
All behaviors are the same on Mac and PC computers unless otherwise noted. It is
recommended that you also check out the handy Cheat Sheet included with your
device, and the Owner’s Manual for details on using your POD Go.
Marketplace
Be sure to visit the Line 6 Marketplace online shop, where you'll nd 3rd-party
add-on assets that further enhance the functionality of POD Go and Helix® family
products! Check back often on Marketplace for product news and announcements.
An Internet connection is required for the computer on which you'll be using the POD
Go Edit app to authorize it for the use of Marketplace premium assets. Please see
“Marketplace & Account Options” on page 34.
IMPORTANT: It is required that your POD Go device’s rmware be updated to
version 1.11 (or later) to be fully functional with the POD Go Edit application.
See “Firmware Updater & Additional Resources” on page 58 for how to check and
update your device’s rmware.
What’s in it for Me?
POD Go Edit is a simple, but powerful, editor, preset librarian, and IR manager
application. It allows you to easily customize, back up, and manage your tone presets
and setlists, as well as manage the Impulse Responses on your Line 6 POD Go
device. Essentially, the POD Go Edit app allows you to access the features in your
device conveniently, taking full advantage of your computer’s large screen, keyboard,
and ample storage space!
POD Go Edit is the editor/librarian software for use with POD Go devices running
rmware version 1.11 (or later).* For best performance, it is recommended to use
the latest available version of both the POD Go Edit application, drivers, and
device rmware.* If for any reason you wish to return to an earlier rmware for your
device, or an earlier POD Go Edit software version, you'll need to be sure the release
versions of the rmware and software match for full functionality. Please refer to
“Firmware Updater & Additional Resources” on page 58 for details.
*NOTE: If on Windows®, you’ll need to install the Line 6 POD Go drivers to be
able to use POD Go Edit—all drivers are already selected to be installed by
default when you run the Windows POD Go Edit installer. The Windows drivers also
provide ASIO, low latency, 24-bit/44.1khz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, and 96kHz sample rate
operation, allowing you to utilize POD Go as a USB audio interface for all popular
Windows audio applications.
For Mac computers, no driver installation is necessary for use of POD Go devices
with POD Go Edit app, as well as for USB MIDI and low latency, 24-bit/48kHz audio
operation.
The latest POD Go Edit application and driver installers are available at
line6.com/software/. For details on application and driver support with the latest
Windows and Mac operating systems, please be sure to check any driver’s Release
Notes, or visit line6.com/support/.
Workflow Overview
Once the POD Go Edit app is launched, it automatically syncs all presets and IRs
from your device's internal memory, displaying them within the Librarian panel at the
left of the application window. This allows you to export presets and IRs to create a
virtually unlimited library on your computer, and then import them onto your device
at any time. The Librarian panel also allows you to easily rename and reorder your
presets and IRs, and the Create & Restore Backup feature makes it simple to create
full backups that can be restored to your POD Go hardware in minutes.
You will also see your currently loaded preset's contents displayed in the Editor
panels on the right. This allows you to load & fully customize your presets, congure
bypass & controller assignments, and create & edit snapshots. While connected,
communication between the application and your connected device’s internal memory
is instantaneous. Changes you make to any parameters in the Signal Flow or Edit
panels, as well as any changes to presets, setlists and IRs within the Librarian, are
immediately reected on the device, and vice-versa.
This interactive communication allows you to tweak your presets and setlists in real
time, without the need to manually sync to the device.
WARNING: Please be aware that when overwriting presets or Impulse Responses,
these changes cannot be reverted! You can use the Create & Restore Backups
feature to back up your device's contents before making changes. See “Creating &
Restoring Complete Device Backups” on page 16.

Computer Connectivity
To put the POD Go Edit application to work, connect POD Go to your computer’s USB
port. As mentioned above, for Windows computers it is necessary to install the Line
6 POD Go drivers (included and installed by default with the POD Go Windows app
installer) to be able to use the POD Go Edit application with your device.
Exit any other Line 6 or audio applications that may be running. With your POD Go
device powered on, launch POD Go Edit.
• Mac: Go to Applications > Line 6 > POD Go Edit
• Windows: Go to the Start button menu > All Apps (or Programs) > Line 6 >
POD Go Edit
Upon launch, the application will detect your connected POD Go hardware and
automatically retrieve and display its on-board presets & Impulse Responses. This
may take a moment to download all of the preset information.
If a connected POD Go device is not detected by your computer, you’ll see the “No
device” indicator appear at the top left of the application.
No Device Connected indicator
If you see this indicator, check to make sure your POD Go device is powered on and
connected to your computer’s USB port. If on Windows, be sure you have the Line 6
POD Go driver installed.
The Update available indicator also appears at the bottom of the main application
window if a rmware update is available. You can optionally click this button to launch
the Firmware Updater.
Compatibility with Other Line 6 Products
POD Go presets, setlists, or backup les are not compatible with other Line 6
hardware and software products at this time. However, POD Go supports the same
format Impulse Response (IR) les as Line 6 Helix and HX™ devices and the Helix
Native plug-in. This means that you can essentially obtain IRs that any vendor oers
for Line 6 Helix/HX devices and import them directly into the POD Go Edit Impulses
Library!
TIP: A great selection of POD Go presets and IRs are available right now in the
Line 6 Marketplace online shop!
Automatic Firmware Update Check
Upon launch of POD Go Edit, it will automatically check the Line 6 online server for
a newer rmware version for your connected POD Go device (if you have an active
Internet connection, and have signed in within POD Go Edit). If a rmware update is
available, you’ll see a pop-up alert shortly after launching the application.
Firmware update available pop-up alert
Choosing Update Now launches the built in Firmware Updater and walks you
through the update process painlessly - see page 58 for details. Or you can click to
read the available rmware’s Release Notes, or choose to Remind Me Later and just
use the application without updating your device.

GUI Overview
POD Go Edit has a very intuitive, easy-to-use interface. The application automatically
detects your connected POD Go device and displays all its options within the main
application window, where the navigation is divided into three main sections:
The Librarian Panel - For managing presets, setlists, and Impulse Response (IR)
les.
The Signal Flow Panel - Where you can add and move amp, eects, FX loop, and
looper models and customize your complete signal path routing.
The Inspector - Edit/Model Select Panel - This lower portion of the Editor
window serves as an Inspector panel for the block selected within the Signal Flow
panel. Here you can choose from two display modes: The Edit panel for editing a
block’s parameters and bypass & control assignments, or the Model Select panel
for choosing the desired models for each of the blocks within the Signal Flow.
The Edit/Model Select panel display can be switched via the toggle button at the top
of the panel.

Premium Marketplace Presets
If you’ve purchased and downloaded premium POD Go presets from the Line 6
Marketplace, you must be signed in to your Line 6 account within POD Go Edit
and have your computer authorized to initially import or export these presets (as
well as for any setlists or backups that include premium presets). Please also see
“Marketplace & Account Options” on page 34.
Premium Marketplace presets are otherwise able to be utilized just like any other POD
Go presets. When imported, these premium Marketplace presets are indicated by
guitar pick “badges” to their right within the Presets panel.
The Librarian panel, with the Factory setlist selected
Note that all presets are editable, including the Factory presets originally included
with your device. Initially, the User setlist includes all “New Presets,” which consist
of the default set of Preset blocks and four empty Eects blocks, awaiting your
customization. You’ll likely nd it easiest to start with the Factory presets, tweak
the models, tone & controller settings, and then rename and save your customized
presets into the User folder.
You'll nd the commands for preset Save, Save As, Import, Export, Copy, Paste,
and Rename within the application's File & Edit menus. Preset commands are also
accessible via right-click directly on any preset within the library, as well as via handy
“Keyboard Shortcuts”. It is also possible to import and export complete setlists, using
their respective menu commands.
Right-click on a preset to quickly access available commands
TIP: Exporting a setlist or individual presets is a great way to backup and archive a
virtually unlimited number of your custom presets on your computer—also see
“Creating & Restoring Complete Device Backups” on page 16.
Premium Marketplace presets are indicated with golden guitar pick badges
Selecting, Loading, and Saving Presets
It is important to note our terminology used in this Guide when describing the
dierence between selecting versus loading a preset within a setlist. To access a
preset, choose the desired setlist (Factory or User) at the top of the Librarian panel,
then click choose any preset within the setlist.
To Select a Preset - Click once on a preset location within the setlist and you'll
see it become highlighted in gray. This indicates the preset is selected, meaning
that a preset command (Copy, Paste, Import, etc.) will act upon this preset (even if
a dierent preset is the one currently loaded within the Signal Flow).
To Load a Preset - Double-click on any preset (or click once to select it and then
hit your Enter/Return key) to load the preset—you'll see the preset name appear
with amber colored text, indicating it as the preset currently in use. Note that
File and Edit menu commands will act upon the preset that is currently selected
(highlighted) which may or may not also be the currently loaded preset.
TIP: You can also load presets by clicking on the Next/Previous Preset (up
and down arrow) buttons that appear at the top left of the Editor window.
To Save a Preset - Once a preset is loaded from the preset library and edited,
you’ll most likely want to save the preset to retain your changes.* To save the
preset to your device’s library, choose the Save or Save As option from the app’s
File menu, or click the Preset Save button that appears at the top of the Signal
Flow panel (see page 13). Also see the next section for the option to export a
preset to save it to your computer.
*TIP: Before editing a preset you may wish to rst copy it to another location in the
Presets panel, or export it, to be sure you have an original version of the preset.
7
Importing and Exporting Preset Files
Presets that reside within your device are able to be exported to your computer as
individual POD Go preset (.pgp) les, allowing you to create a vast collection of tones
that can be imported back onto your device's internal preset library at any time.
To Import a Preset File - It is recommended to select an unused, “New Preset”
location within the app’s Librarian panel and select the File menu (or the preset
slot’s right-click menu) Import Preset command. A brief dialog will inform you that
importing will overwrite any existing preset within the selected location. Click Ye s
to continue. A system window will display a le browser for selecting the preset le
you wish to import. Once imported, the preset will reside in your device's internal
memory, within the selected preset location.
To Export a Preset File - Select the preset by single-clicking on it within the current
setlist and click the File menu (or the preset slot’s right-click menu) Export Preset
command. Exporting creates a copy of the preset in its last-saved state from your
device's memory and saves it to your computer. The familiar “save” window is
presented, in which you can edit the lename and choose a destination folder.
Drag and Drop Presets
It is possible to drag and drop any preset (or multi-selected presets) directly from the
Librarian panel to perform the following actions.
• Import - Drag a .pgp preset le from any computer folder and drop directly
onto a presets slot to import it into the device’s setlist. This import action
replaces and overwrites the slot’s existing preset.
• Import and Load - Dragging a preset from a computer folder and dropping it
directly into the currently loaded preset’s slot within the setlist, or dropping it
directly into the Signal Flow window, will both Import the preset and load it as
the new current tone, replacing the previous tone. (Note that if you drag and
drop a preset into a slot other than that of the currently loaded preset, this will
import the preset into the setlist, but will not load the preset.)
• Export - Drag one or multiple presets from the setlist and drop into any folder
on your computer to export a copy of the .pgp preset le(s) there. (The preset
is exported in its last-saved state.)
• Reorder - Drag to another location within the setlist to reorder the presets
within the list as desired. When the preset is dropped into the new location
slot, the surrounding presets are shifted upward or downward accordingly.
Renaming, Reordering, Copying, and Pasting Presets
These functions allow you to customize your presets within the setlist. Choose the
Edit menu (or the preset slot’s right-click menu) Rename, Copy, or Paste command
and it will act upon the selected (highlighted) preset. For most commands, it is
also possible to multi-select a number of presets by using Shift+click to select a
contiguous set of presets, or Cmd+click (Mac) or Ctrl+click (Windows) to select a noncontiguous set. Read on for more ways to accomplish these preset tasks.
Renaming a Preset
Click to select any preset within the setlist, then choose the Rename command and
type in your new desired name.
Reordering Presets
Click to select any preset within the setlist, then click and drag the preset vertically to
place it in the new index position within the setlist. You’ll see the other presets shift
up/down accordingly.
Copying & Pasting Presets
Click once on any preset within the setlist to select it, so that it is highlighted. (Note
that it does not need to be the currently loaded preset, just the highlighted preset).
Chose the Copy command to copy the preset to the clipboard. Then click to select
the desired target preset location, which can be within the current or other setlist,
and use the Paste command. Pasting a preset into a target location that is currently
occupied will result in permanently overwriting the target location’s preset.
Importing and Exporting Setlists
The Librarian panel allows you to instantly save the currently loaded setlist, including
all its saved presets, to a POD Go setlist le (.pgs). This is very handy for making a
backup of all presets within a setlist, so that one setlist can easily be loaded back into
your device in a single action (for example, you might only want to import an exported
User setlist and keep your device’s current Factory setlist intact, or vice-versa).
To Import a Setlist - Select the Import Setlist command. This will prompt you to
ensure that you wish to overwrite and replace the currently selected setlist and the
presets therein. Continue through the Open window to select the setlist you wish
to import into your connected device.
To Export a Setlist - Select the Export Setlist command to display the Save
As dialog, where you can optionally rename the setlist le and choose your save
directory.
TIP: Wanting to restore the Factory Presets & settings for your device? You can do
so by performing a Factory Restore—please see your POD Go Owner’s Manual
for details (and remember to use POD Go Edit to rst do a back up of your current
presets!)
TIP: Visit the line6.com/customtone site to share your tones and download from
the huge online library of artist and user presets. Also be sure to visit the Line 6
Marketplace online shop for professionally crafted presets and IRs!
8
Impulses List
The Librarian's Impulses list displays all Impulse Response les (along with
respective ID numbers in the left column) that currently reside on your POD Go device.
Initially, this Impulses list is empty, awaiting your import of Impulse Response les.

IR Formats and Restrictions
The following IR le types are supported.
• Helix Impulse Response (.hir) - This is the proprietary Line 6 IR le format.
IRs purchased through the Line 6 Marketplace are of this le type, and
supported by Line 6 Helix/HX devices, Helix Native plug-in, as well as POD
Go. (Please also see “Marketplace & Account Options” on page 34.)
• WAV (.wav) - Most IR producers and vendors typically oer IRs in the .wav
format. It is possible to import a mono or stereo .wav le IR, regardless of
its bit depth, length, or sample rate frequency. While this is very convenient,
please be careful to import only .wav les that were created specically for
use as IRs, not just any audio .wav le, or you may experience unexpected
sonic results.

What are Impulse Responses?
Impulse Responses (or “IRs”) that can be used in POD Go are audio les that are the
result of capturing the sound of a test tone (frequency sweep) through a guitar or bass
amp speaker cabinet, which has been deconvolved with the original tone signal. This
represents the frequency response of the miked cabinet itself, and can be used to
simulate the way it alters the sound. This is similar to a convolution reverb, but with a
much shorter decay.
Choose the IR type category within the Cab/IR block to provide speaker cabinet
simulation for your preset. Numerous companies now oer large selections of
professionally recorded IR les that can be used in POD Go, or you can even do some
research on how to record and create your own. Feel free to jump on your favorite
guitar gear forums and join the ongoing, sometimes heated, discussions about the
best and most realistic IRs, and methods to create them.
You can also nd some IRs that were created using this convolution process to
capture the properties of acoustic guitar bodies, guitar pickups and other sources.
These IRs can certainly be used in the POD Go IR block as well, to allow even deeper
tone sculpting!
TIP: Line 6 oers a free pack of IRs from Allure. You can grab them now at http://
line6.com/allure/.
You can also nd a great selection of IRs, specically created for POD Go and Helix
family products, on the Marketplace—see page 34.
Importing and Exporting Impulse Responses
To access the IRs stored on your POD Go device, click on the Impulses folder at the
top of the Librarian panel. From here you will be presented with a list of up to 128 IR
locations and their index numbers. You’ll want to import all IRs you plan on utilizing
within your presets into this Impulses library list.
NOTE: Premium IRs purchased from Marketplace are also imported & exported
using the following steps. It is required that you have authorized your computer,
and that you are signed in to your Line 6 account in POD Go Edit to initially import or
export them. Once imported into POD Go Edit, no active Internet connection is
necessary to utilize your Marketplace IRs. Please see for “Marketplace & Account
Options” on page 34 details.
To Import an IR, rst select the desired index location in the application's Impulses
list and, from the File menu (or IR slot’s right-click menu), choose Import. Select the
desired IR le you wish to load onto your device. It is also possible to select multiple
IR les and all will be imported in one action.
To Export an IR, rst select the desired index location in the application’s Impulses
list and from the File menu (or IR slot’s right-click menu), choose Export.
You can also drag and drop to and from the Impulses list to export and import IRs—
see the following section.
NOTE: When exporting IRs from the POD Go Edit Impulses list, any
Marketplace-purchased IR is saved to your computer as a Helix IR (.hir) type
le. The .hir les are proprietary to Line 6 products, and licensed to you via the Line
6 Account on which you purchased them. Any IR that was originally imported as a
.wav le is exported as a .wav le.
TIP: Use the File menu's Create Backup & Restore From Backup options to
create a backup of your Impulses list's contents, and restore from the backup, at
any time—see “Creating & Restoring Complete Device Backups”.

Premium Marketplace IRs
If you’ve purchased and downloaded premium IRs from the Line 6 Marketplace (see
page 34), you must be signed in to your Line 6 account within POD Go Edit, which
authorizes your computer to allow POD Go Edit to initially import or export these IRs
(as well as for the restore of any backup that includes premium IRs).* Marketplace
premium IRs are proprietary to Line 6 POD Go and Helix family products, and are of
the .hir le type.
NOTE: When exporting IRs from the POD Go Edit Impulses list, any
Marketplace-purchased IR is saved to your computer as a Helix IR (.hir)
type le. The .hir les are proprietary to Line 6 products, and licensed to you via
the Line 6 Account on which you purchased them. Any IR that was originally
imported as a .wav le is exported as a .wav le.
• Copy - It is also possible to drag and drop IRs within the Impulses list to
create a copy of the IR in a new index location.*
*NOTE: Once you've initially imported your Marketplace assets to sync their
licenses with your account, you don't need to have POD Go Edit actively signed
in to use them—and it is not necessary to even be connected to the Internet once
your computer has been authorized. Please see “Authorize / Deauthorize Your
Computer” on page 36.
Premium Marketplace IRs are otherwise able to be utilized just like any of your other
IRs within the Impulses library. When imported, these premium Marketplace .hir IR
les are indicated by guitar pick “badges” to their right.
Premium Marketplace IRs are indicated with golden guitar pick badges
Renaming, Copying, Pasting & Clearing IRs
These actions can be performed by selecting their respective commands from the
Edit menu. You can also right-click to choose these options from the context menu of
any IR’s index slot (or use the app's “Keyboard Shortcuts”).
Drag and Drop IRs
There are several drag and drop options that allow you to import and export single,
or multiple, IR les between your computer’s directories and POD Go Edit, as listed
below.
• Import - Drag one or more IR les from your computer folder directly into
the Impulses list. When multiple les are being dragged in, they are imported
starting with the selected IR index slot.
• Export - Select one or more IR index locations and drag from the Impulses
list directly to your computer to export the IR les to the selected hard drive
folder.
*NOTE: There are no options oered to move or reorder IRs in a single
operation. Use the Copy, Paste and Clear functions to rearrange IRs within
the Impulses list as needed. (Also see the following “IR File Reference” section.)
Loading an IR in an IR Block
Once you’ve imported IR les into the IR Library, the easiest way to load an IR into
your current preset is to simply click on the Impulses folder icon to display the IR
Library, then double-click on the desired IR within the library list. This automatically
changes the Cab/IR block to the IR category within the Signal Flow (if it is not
already), and loads the selected IR le within it.
Just double-click on any IR within the Impulses list to load it in the IR block
If you select the Cab/IR block directly within the Signal Flow, and then choose the IR
category, it initially defaults to referencing the IR that resides within the #1 IR index
location. (If you have not yet imported any IR le into the referenced index location,
the “empty” IR block has no audible eect on the signal.)
NOTE: The use of an IR block requires a higher amount of Digital Signal
Processor (DSP) usage as compared to a standard Cab model. A pop-up alert
will let you know if your preset encounters the DSP limit, preventing the loading of an
IR—please see “DSP Management & Model Availability” on page 23.
10
To load an IR using the IR block’s Edit panel options, select the IR block within the
Signal Flow, then in the Edit panel, use the IR Select parameter slider (or its menu
button at the right) to select IR index number (1-128) that includes the desired IR.
Please also see “IR File Reference” for additional behaviors.
Choosing an IR by its Library (1-128) index number within the Editor
You can use the other IR block parameter sliders in the Edit panel to further shape the
IR's tone (Low Cut, High Cut, Level, etc.)—also see “Editing Model Parameters” on
page 21. Once done selecting an IR and its parameter options, be sure to save the
preset to retain your IR block settings.
Whenever you load a preset where its IR block references an empty IR index location,
or if the originally associated IR le that was last saved with this preset can no longer
be found within your IR library list, a pop-up is displayed to alert you.
IR File Reference
Once the preset’s IR block is congured to utilize an IR index slot that includes an
imported IR (.wav or .hir) le, and the preset is then saved, the preset creates a
“reference signature” to the imported IR from its le name. Therefore, if you re-order
IRs within the IR library list, your preset will still intelligently reference the originally
associated IR le, even though it now resides in a dierent IR Library index location.
The following behaviors apply:
• If you clear or replace the IR le within the IR index slot for which the preset’s
IR block is congured to use, upon the load of the preset, the IR block will rst
attempt to locate another instance of the missing, associated IR le within the
Impulses list and automatically utilize it and its residing index slot.
• If the congured IR index slot is currently empty, you’ll be alerted that the
IR block’s associated IR le cannot be found (see previous section). The IR
block continues to utilize the same (now empty) IR index slot. You’ll want to
congure the IR block to utilize an occupied IR index slot (or import an IR
into the currently referenced slot) and save the preset.
• If the original IR le is cleared from the Library and the IR index slot now
includes a dierent IR le, you’ll be alerted that the associated IR cannot be
found, and the IR block utilizes this new IR le within the congured index
slot. You’ll need to save the preset with this reference to the new IR (or
congure the IR block to use a dierent, occupied IR slot) to avoid seeing
the alert pop-up on future loads of the preset.
• Once an IR block is congured with an IR Library index selection, and the
preset is then saved, the IR (.wav or .hir) le retains this reference signature
when exported from the library—thus, even if you import the exported IR le
again into any index slot within your Impulses Library, the saved preset’s IR
block will still be able to locate and utilize it.*
Yes, the above rules all sound a bit complicated, but in typical use, all this really just
means that if you happen to move your IRs around in the IR Library list, your saved
presets will not lose their links to them!
NOTE: We highly recommend using the Create Backup feature within POD Go
Edit to make it easy to restore your complete preset and IR libraries (see page
16). Immediately after performing a Restore From Backup, it is also best to power
your device o and on again and allow all presets to “rebuild,” for best preset
performance and IR le reference functionality.
Empty or missing IR alert pop-up
To avoid seeing the above alert, the best practice is to always make sure to load an
actual IR for your IR block (rather than leave the block assigned to an “Empty” IR slot),
then save your preset.
11
Working in the Editor
The Editor portion of the POD Go Edit user interface consists of the Signal Flow and Edit/Model Select panels. The Signal Flow panel is where you'll see the signal path for your
currently-loaded preset, appearing much like the Home - Edit screen of your POD Go device. The lower Editor portion of the window contains the, Edit/Model Select panel, and the
Edit panel’s Bypass/Control inspector, all of which allow you to select models, tweak parameters, congure bypass & controllers assignments, and more. Regardless which of these
panels you have displayed, the current preset's Name Field, Save, Snapshots, Undo, & Tempo options are always available at the top of the Editor. Additionally, there is a dedicated
window for the Global EQ (see page 31), accessible from the application's Window menu. If you have not already done so, be sure to read through the in-depth information in
your device's Owner's Manual to get an understanding of the features we'll be covering in the following sections.

Naming & Saving the Preset
The Preset Name eld at the top of the Editor displays the title of the currently loaded
preset. Click directly on the text here to optionally rename the preset. Whenever you
see your preset's title appearing in italicized text at the top of the Signal Flow panel, it
indicates that the preset has been edited from its last-saved state.
The Preset Save button at the top of the Editor launches the Save To Setlist window,
where you can optionally re-title the preset, and choose the desired setlist (Factory or
User) and preset location (01A - 32D) to save the currently-loaded tone, overwriting
the preset that resides within the selected location. (The currently loaded preset is
selected by default, so you can overwrite it simply by clicking the Save To Setlist
window’s OK button.)
The Preset - Save To Setlist window
Alternatively, you can choose the Preset Save or Preset Save As command from the
File menu. As covered in “Factory & User Setlists” on page 7, there are also the
Librarian panel options, Copy and Export, to create & store copies of your presets.
TIP: If you’re just wanting to save the current preset within its existing setlist
location, it is fastest to use the Command+S (Mac) or Ctrl+S (Windows) keyboard
shortcut.
There are two ways to select a snapshot within POD Go Edit: by clicking on the
Snapshots (camera icon) menu at the top of the Editor, or by using the commands
within the application's Snapshots menu.
To edit its settings, select the numbered snapshot you want as your destination, then
congure the desired block and signal ow options that you wish to be stored and
recalled this snapshot.*
The Editor Snapshots menu The menu bar's Snapshots menu
*NOTE: You can use your device's Global Settings > Preferences > Snapshot
Edits to choose between Recall (automatically stores your changes to the
current snapshot) versus Discard (does not store changes to the current snapshot).
The camera icon within the Editor's Snapshots menu is displayed in red when the
hardware's option is set to Discard.
Once your desired destination snapshot has been selected, use the following steps to
congure your settings.
To Store a Block's Bypass State Per Snapshot
Click on the Bypass button above any block within the Signal Flow and set your
desired bypass state for the block (or you can toggle the block's Bypass button
within the Edit panel). Any amp or eects block’s Bypass state will, by default, be
remembered and recalled per snapshot.
If you prefer to exclude a block from being controlled by snapshots, select the block
and set the Snapshot Bypass option from the block’s right-click menu to “O” (so
that no check mark appears at the left of the menu option). Choosing the Snapshot
Bypass option from the menu again (so that the check mark appears at the left of the
menu command), returns the block to the default snapshot behavior.
Configuring & Managing Snapshots
Your device oers the ability to congure the four snapshots within a preset, allowing
you to recall a customized set of options for your current blocks instantly, without the
brief lag time associated with changing presets! A snapshot is capable of storing the
bypass state of any block, up to 64 assigned parameter values, tempo settings and
more (please see the POD GO Owner's Manual for specics).
The Block - Snapshot Bypass option
13
To Store a Parameter's Value Per Snapshot
To store any block parameter’s value per snapshot, it is rst necessary to create
a snapshot controller assignment for the parameter (other than for the Bypass
parameter - see preceding section). Whatever specic value you set the parameter to
is then remembered and recalled per snapshot for the snapshot-assigned parameter.
There are a few ways to create a snapshot assignment within POD Go Edit (also see
“Creating a Controller Assignment” on page 28).
In the following example, we’re creating a snapshot assignment within the Edit panel
for the Amp block’s Drive parameter.
1. Double-click on the Amp block within the Signal Flow to select it and display
its parameters within the Edit panel below.
2. Left-click on the assignment indicator area to the left of the Drive slider (or
right-click directly on the slider) within the Edit panel to the display the Select
a controller panel.
5. Repeat the last step with up to all 4 snapshots, setting the desired Amp - Drive
parameter value dierently as desired for each.
Optionally, repeat the above steps to create snapshot assignments for additional
parameters, allowing all to have your determined values recalled per snapshot!
Each preset can have up to 64 controller assignments, including parameters
controlled by Snapshots. Remember to save your preset to retain your snapshot
settings. Please also see “Bypass & Controller Assignment” on page 24 for
more info.
To Remove a Snapshot Assignment from a Parameter
If you wish to stop an assigned parameter from responding to snapshot changes,
repeat the above steps and simply choose the None button within the Select
Controller panel to remove the snapshot assignment from the parameter.
NOTE: To exclude a block’s bypass state from being recalled via snapshot, use
the Snapshot Bypass option - see “To Store a Block’s Bypass State Per
Snapshot” on page 13.
NOTE: If the parameter you are conguring already has an existing footswitch or
EXP pedal assignment, you’ll see its icon displayed in the assignment indicator
area, left of the parameter. You can still click on it to display the Select a controller
panel, and make a Snapshots assignment, but this will replace the existing
assignment.
3. Click on the Snapshots Controller selector to create the assignment, and close
the Select a controller panel.
Right-click on the parameter
Left-click in
indicator area
Click the Snapshots controller selector
Creating a snapshot assignment via the Select a controller panel
TIP: Even quicker... Hold the Alt/Option key and left-click on the Drive parameter
to instantly snapshot-assign it (or to remove an existing snapshot assignment)!
4. Load the desired snapshot (see page 13) and set the Drive slider to the
value you wish to be stored with this snapshot. (Note that the camera icon
is displayed to the left of the Drive slider now to indicate the parameter is
snapshot-assigned.) These stored values are recalled when jumping from
snapshot to snapshot, and appear as you last left them per snapshot.
Copying & Pasting Snapshots
The Copy and Paste Snapshot commands are available within the app's main
Snapshots menu. Or, right-click on the Edit panel's (camera button) Snapshots menu
to access these commands.
The main Snapshots menu The “camera” icon Snapshots right-click menu
To Copy & Paste a Snapshot - It is possible to copy all the settings of one snapshot
and paste them to another snapshot within the same preset, which can be a big
time-saver if you just want to make a few changes per snapshot. Select and load
the snapshot you wish to copy and select Copy. Then select and load the target
snapshot you wish to overwrite and choose Paste to paste the clipboard contents.
NOTE: The action of pasting a copied snapshot is not tracked by the POD
Go Edit Undo / Redo feature (see next section).
NOTE: Remember that you'll need to Save before switching to another preset to
retain your edited snapshot settings within the current preset! The snapshot that
is in use when you save your preset is the one that is recalled when the preset is
loaded again.
14
Undo / Redo
The POD Go Edit application supports Undo and Redo for most editing actions within
the Signal Flow and Edit panels of the current preset, whether the edits are made
within POD Go Edit or directly on the connected hardware, accessible via the Undo
and Redo buttons at the top of the main window (or from the Edit menu).* Your Undo
/ Redo history is retained until you load a dierent preset, exit the application, or
disconnect or power o your connected POD Go device.
*NOTE: Also see “Software Edits vs. Hardware Edits” on page 15 for
additional behavior details.
The Undo and Redo buttons
Undo is available for most actions performed within the Signal Flow and Edit
panels within POD Go Edit, including:
• Parameter changes
• Snapshot selection
• Block category and model changes
• Signal path changes (block bypass states, moving blocks, etc.)
• Hardware edits and edit actions performed via external controller and USB MIDI
CC & PC messages (see “Software Edits vs. Hardware Edits” on page 15)
Actions that are not available for Undo/Redo include the following:
• Tempo changes
• Actions performed within the Presets/Impulses Librarian panel (e.g., changing
setlists, loading a dierent preset, importing, reordering, pasting presets or
IRs, etc.)
NOTE: The application’s Undo history is cleared whenever a dierent preset
is loaded .
• Adding, editing, and removing snapshot, bypass, and controller assignments
NOTE: Note that when Undo restores the removal of a model that
includes assignments, in most cases, these assignments are restored
with the model, but in some cases may not be able to be retained.
• Pasting a copied snapshot
• Changes to any settings within the POD Go Edit Preferences and Global EQ
windows
NOTE: The Undo button and Edit menu command remain unavailable (dimmed)
until an undo-able action is performed. Likewise, Redo remains unavailable until
an Undo action is applied.
Software Edits vs. Hardware Edits
Edit actions performed within the POD Go Edit application (or “software edits”) are
tracked individually for Undo / Redo. For example, if you adjust a POD Go Edit
parameter slider, move a block, and then change a block’s model, these actions are
reverted individually—one action per each click of Undo.
Edit actions performed directly on your connected device and via footswitch/pedal
controller (or “hardware edits”) are aggregated into a separate, single undo-able action
within the Undo history. Therefore, if you perform a number of hardware edits and
then choose Undo, all such edits are reverted in one click of Undo. Likewise, selecting
Redo after performing an Undo of several hardware edits restores all the hardware edit
changes in one click of Redo.
Editing the Tap Tempo
There are a few options available for conguring the tempo, accessible from the
Tempo Controls at the top of the Signal Flow window. Any of the current preset’s
eect models set to note division values will follow this Tap Tempo value. (Note Sync
mode is available for most delay and modulation eects—see page 21.)
Tempo Select
Menu
The Tempo Controls
How the Tempo Value is Recalled
Use the Tempo Select menu to choose how the tempo value is saved and recalled
(this is the same option found in your POD Go hardware's Global Settings > MIDI/
Tempo screen):
• Per Snapshot - The tempo value is stored and recalled individually per
snapshot for the current preset.
• Per Preset - The tempo value is stored and recalled individually with this
preset.
• Global - The tempo value is used for all presets (any tempo value saved with
a preset or snapshot is ignored).
NOTE: Your POD Go device's tempo can also be congured to follow MIDI Clock
from an external (computer software - USB) source, accessed from within your
device's Global Settings > MIDI/Tempo screen.
When your device is actively following MIDI Clock, all options for the Tempo
Controls are disabled and the Tempo value displays as “[External].”
Entering a Tempo Value
To enter a value, click on the Tap Tempo button rhythmically, or right-click directly on
the Tap Tempo button and type in your desired numerical value.

Creating & Restoring Complete Device Backups
Use the File menu's Create Backup and Restore From Backup commands to create
complete backups of your POD Go device's current Global Settings, IRs, and Presets,
and easily restore them back to your device at any time. All presets are backed up
from their last-saved state, therefore, be sure to save your currently-loaded preset
before creating your backup to include its current settings.
NOTE: If you have purchased and imported Marketplace premium IRs, your
computer must be in the Authorized state to be able to use the Create Backup
and Restore From Backup features, if the backup includes Marketplace premium
assets. See “Authorize / Deauthorize Your Computer” on page 36.
To Create a Backup
Select the Create Backup command from the File menu to launch the window.
9. Click Create Backup and you'll see the progress of your backup being created,
and a message once completed successfully (or click Cancel to exit without
creating a Backup).
You can repeat the above steps at any time to create as many individual backups
as you like. All backup les are then available within the Restore From Backup
window.
TIP: It is highly recommended to create a full Backup before installing device
rmware, and to perform backups regularly to make sure you always have copies
of your tones, IRs and settings!
To Restore From a Backup
Select the Restore From Backup command from the File menu to launch the
window.
The Create Backup window
6. Name - Your backup le is automatically named with “POD Go Backup” and
the current date. Optionally, you can click directly on the le name here and
edit it as desired.
7. Description - Optionally, type in some descriptive notes about this backup. All
text added here is saved with your backup, and viewable during the Restore
From Backup process.
8. Where - By default, your Backup le (.pgb) is saved to the following directory
on your computer:
• Mac - /Documents/Line 6/POD Go/Backups folder
• PC - \My Documents\Line 6\POD Go\Backups folder
If you wish to save to a dierent folder, click the folder button and browse to
select your preferred disk location.
The Restore From Backup window
1. Backup Folder - The default or most-recently used Backup folder is selected
here. If you want to nd a backup le in a dierent folder, click the folder
button to browse to the desired location.
16
2. Backup File - By default, the most recently created Backup le is selected.
All compatible Backup les that you created within the currently selected
directory are selectable here. When you select a backup le, the following
information is displayed so you know the details about the backup before you
choose to restore from it.
• Date: The creation date of the backup le.
• Device: The specic type of device this backup was created from (POD Go).
• Version: The rmware version installed on the device when the backup was
created.
• Description: Any notes that you entered within the Description eld when the
backup was created appear here.
3. Items to Restore - In the lower pane, you can select the individual items you
wish to be restored from the selected backup le: Global Settings, Impulse
Responses*, and Presets. Whichever items you select here will be restored,
overwriting those currently on your device.
*NOTE: If your backup includes premium Marketplace IRs within its Impulses
library, you’ll need to be Signed In within the POD Go Edit application to
allow the Marketplace-purchased IRs to be restored. Please see “Sign In / Sign
Out” on page 35.
TIP: Note that by clicking on the arrow to the left of the Presets checkbox,
you can expand the option (as pictured above) to individually choose
whichever setlist(s) you want to restore from the selected Backup!
4. Click Restore Backup and you'll see the progress of the restore process, and
then a pop-up message once completed successfully (or click Close to exit
without restoring). Do not disturb the POD Go Edit application or device until
the Restore process is complete.
TIP: If the Backup that you restored includes any presets or setlists, it is
recommended to power your device o and on again to allow it “rebuild” the
presets. This process optimizes preset loading times on the hardware.
You can repeat the above steps at any time, and select any available POD Go
Backup le stored on your computer.

Signal Flow Panel
The Signal Flow panel allows you to directly access all blocks within your preset and
congure your signal path routing simply by clicking and dragging. Once you select
any block within the Signal Flow, the Edit panel below provides access to all its
editable parameters. The options oered here are essentially the same as found on
your connected POD Go device’s Home - Edit screen, making editing very straightforward.

Block Types
The signal path of all POD Go presets include a combination of “Preset” and
“Eects” blocks, as well as Input and Output blocks. It is important to understand
the functions of these block types and their behaviors, as covered below. Also see
“Model Lists” on page 37 for the lists of all models by category.
Preset Blocks
Whenever you load any preset, you’ll see that it always includes a common set
of Preset blocks within the Signal Flow. These blocks include a dedicated model
category type or function, as described below. Even when loading a “New Preset,” it
already includes these pre-congured Preset blocks, as well as the four empty Eects
blocks, and an Input and Output block.
Note that all blocks (other than the Input and Output) can be moved left/right within
the Signal Flow, and can be bypassed/enabled, but Preset blocks are never “empty”
and oer a limited category of models. Please also see your POD Go Owner’s Manual
for more details about block and model types.
Volume - By default, this block is set for the Volume Pedal model—you can
alternatively change the model to Gain, Pan, or Stereo Width. The EXP 2 pedal is
auto congured to control the Volume’s “Position” and the Pan’s “Pan” parameters,
and the block’s Bypass is initially auto assigned to the onboard pedal’s Toe Switch.
Wah - Select your favorite Wah model and have at it. By default, the Wah block’s
Position parameter is auto assigned to the EXP 1 pedal, and its Bypass assigned
to the onboard pedal’s Toe Switch.
Output
TIP: These pre-existing EXP pedal and Toe Switch assignments can be
customized as desired—see “Bypass & Controller Assignment” on page 24.
FX Loop - Utilize the Send and Return jacks on your POD Go device to connect
to and from external gear, and this block provides control over panning and levels.
You can choose a Mono or Stereo FX Loop type block to match your jack routing,
as well as bypass or enable the block as desired.* By default, the FX Loop block’s
Bypass is assigned to Footswitch 2.
*NOTE: It is also possible to congure your Return jack as an Aux. Input, with
the device’s Global Settings > Ins/Outs > Return Type parameter. When
the Return Type parameter is set to Aux In, signal throughput from all inputs
other than the Return jack is muted when the FX Loop block is enabled (and the
Aux in itself remains active regardless of the FX Loop block’s bypass state).
Amp/Preamp - Choose any Amp or Preamp model type, or bypass the block.
Cab/IR - Choose any Speaker Cabinet model, or select the IR category to utilize IR
les that you’ve imported into your IR Library - see “Impulses List” on page 9.
Preset EQ - This yellow block is a dedicated EQ. By default, the Parametric EQ
model is loaded here (and in the bypassed state), but you can optionally choose to
load any other EQ category model type within this block. By default, the Preset EQ
block’s Bypass is assigned to Footswitch 1.
TIP: Need more EQ? You can optionally utilize any of the four Eects blocks to
load EQ category models too.
NOTE: All Distortion, Dynamics, Pitch/Synth, Amp/Preamp, Cab/IR, FX Loop,
and Looper category models (whenever the “Mono” type FX Loop or Looper is
in use) are mono. Any stereo block that is positioned to the left of one of these
mono blocks will result in its output being summed to mono when fed into the mono
block. Therefore, for your stereo eects to be heard in full stereo, you’ll want to
position them to the right of all mono blocks in the signal path. Bypassed blocks do
not collapse any stereo signal fed into them.
Effects Blocks
Clicking on any of the four Eects blocks allows you to choose from any category of
eects or a Looper. Regardless of the model type selected, Eects blocks can always
be moved and toggled between bypassed or enabled. When an Eects block is set to
None (or cleared), the signal passes through it unprocessed.
TIP: An Eects block utilizes DSP power on the device when active or bypassed,
but utilizes no DSP if set to None. Also see “DSP Management & Model
Availability” on page 23.
Input and Output Blocks
Clicking on the Input and Output blocks, just like other block types, displays their
parameters within the Edit panel below, and most parameters can also have controller
and snapshot assignments created on them. Input and Output blocks are not movable
within the Signal Flow.
18
Moving Blocks
To move blocks within the signal path, simply click and drag any block left/right to
its desired location on the signal path, and drop it there. As noted in the preceding
sections, you’ll want to take note of mono and stereo blocks and arrange your blocks
accordingly to achieve the desired mono/stereo output from your device.
TIP: A block can also be copied and then pasted into a dierent preset!
The Clear commands are handy to “reset” any of the four Eects blocks.
• Select any Eects block and use the Clear Block to remove the block’s model
and set it to None. Alternatively, use the “X” button that appears when you
hover your mouse cursor over an Eects block to clear it.
Bypassing Blocks
To toggle the bypass of any Preset or Eects type block - do any of the following:
• Hover your mouse cursor over a block within the Signal Flow and use the
Bypass button that appears above the block.
• Right-click on the block and choose Bypass from the context menu.
• Click on the desired block to select it, then use the Bypass button within the
Edit tab.
• Click on the desired block to select it and hit the Spacebar.
• A block’s bypass state, by default, is also stored and recalled with each
Snapshot (see “Conguring & Managing Snapshots” on page 13).
Copying, Pasting, & Clearing Blocks
Once you’ve selected the desired block within the Signal Flow, these commands are
accessed either from the menu bar’s Edit menu, or from a block’s (right-click) context
menu (or via keyboard shortcuts—see page 48).
Block Cut, Copy, Paste & Clear commands are available in the Edit menu or block’s context menu
Use the Copy Block command for any type of block, and then select the Paste Block
command to paste it, with all its current settings & assignments, into the same or
dierent block location, with the following results.
• Preset, Input, and Output type blocks can be copied and then pasted only
back into the same block type. For example, you can Copy your current Amp/
Preamp (Preset) block to capture all its settings, experiment with other Amp/
Preamp models and settings, and then Paste back into the Amp/Preamp
block to “restore” your copied model and settings again.
• Eects type blocks can be copied and then pasted into any other Eects type
block.
• Since only one Looper can exist within a preset, a Looper block can be
copied, but only pasted back over the existing Looper block, or pasted into
another Eects block if the original Looper block is rst cleared.
Bypass Clear
When hovering over a block, you'll see its Bypass and Clear buttons appear
NOTE: Preset type blocks cannot be cleared, therefore, you’ll see only a Bypass
button appear when hovering over any Preset type block.
Bypass Assignment Indicators
You may notice the labels oating above some blocks within the application’s Signal
Flow—this indicates when block has an existing bypass assignment, and which
footswitch it is assigned to—as well as oers access to quickly create and edit
footswitch and EXP pedal bypass assignments.
Bypass assignment indicators
For example, in the preset above, the Wah and Volume blocks’ bypass is toggled via
the pedal’s toe footswitch (EXP Toe), the FX Loop block by footswitch 2 (FS2), etc.
When you hover your mouse cursor over this indicator area of a block, you’ll see a
menu button appear (white down arrow), letting you know you can click in this area to
display the Bypass Assign panel - see the next section. For any block that does not
have an existing bypass assignment, if you hover your mouse cursor above the block,
you’ll see the [None] indicator label appear.

Quick Bypass Assign
There are a few ways to create and edit bypass assignments for any block directly
within the Signal Flow—by using the block’s right-click menu commands, or via the
quick Bypass Assign panel. (The Edit panel’s Bypass/Control screen oers even
more options—please also see page 24.)
Bypass Assignment using the block right-click menu
Right-click on any Preset or Eects block, or directly on the assignment indicator label
above the block, and choose Bypass Assign, where you can select any footswitch or
EXP pedal to create a bypass assignment, change an existing bypass assignment, or
choose the None button to clear the block’s assignment. You’ll also see any existing
assignments within the sub-menu.
Existing bypass and
controller assignments
are shown in brackets
Bypass Assignment using the Bypass Assign panel
Right-click directly on the assignment indicator above a block within the Signal Flow
and the Bypass Assign pop-up panel will appear.
Within this panel, if a bypass assignment already exists for the block, you’ll see
its controller selector highlighted (as shown below). You can simply click on any
footswitch or EXP pedal controller selector to quickly create a bypass assignment,
change an existing bypass assignment, or choose the None button to clear a block’s
assignment.

device’s Global Settings > EXP2 FS7/8 option (see page 32) set to FS7/8
(as well as one or two external footswitches connected to your device) to be able to
utilize them.
You can also create bypass and controller assignments using the EXP Toe switch
as the footswitch.

Adjusting Parameter Sliders - There are several ways to adjust slider values:
• Click on any slider and drag to the desired value.
• Click on the desired range location within a slider's path and it will jump to the
clicked value.
• While hovering your mouse cursor directly over any slider's path, use your
mouse wheel to adjust it.
• Click the up/down arrow buttons at the right for small, incremental
adjustments. If a down arrow is displayed at the right, click on it to expand its
menu.
• Right-click on any parameter to display the Select a controller panel to create
and edit controller and snapshot assignments (see page 28).
Most parameters are represented by sliders within the Edit panel, however, you’ll
see some models utilize switch type parameters, such as the Speed parameter of
some Modulation models, or the Ratio of most Compressors. All such parameters
can still be adjusted using the same functions, and can have controller and
snapshot assignments created for them.
Switch type parameters within the Edit panel
Type in a Precise Value - Double-click anywhere on a parameter, or on its value,
to manually type in a precise numerical value.
Reset Value - If you're not happy with your parameter adjustment, Cmd+Click
(Mac) or Ctrl+Click (Windows) on the slider/switch to reset it to its initial default
value.
Accessing All Parameters - Note that some model types, such as amps and
complex eects, may have more sliders and controls than you can see all at once
in the Edit panel. You can re-size the application window, or click and drag the
vertical scroll bar at the right to access all parameters (or use your mouse wheel
when hovering your mouse cursor over the scroll bar).
Editing Model Parameters
When the Edit panel is displayed, simply click on any block within the Signal Flow to
select it to display and tweak its parameters. To follow are a several editing tips (also
see “Keyboard Shortcuts”).
Toggling Block Bypass - A Bypass button is available at the top right of the
Edit panel for any block that oers a bypass option. When bypassed, the category,
model, and all parameters appear dimmed to indicate this state.

Impulse Response Block Options
When an IR block is selected in the Signal Flow, you'll see IR block parameter sliders
here in the Edit panel, just like for any other block. Remember that you'll need to
import IR les into your POD Go device using the application's Impulses library for
an IR block to utilize them—see “Importing and Exporting Impulse Responses” on
page 9.
Looper Block Options
When a Looper is added within an Eects block, you’ll see several Looper parameters
within the Edit panel. However, it is not possible to toggle the Looper mode of your
connected device on and o within the POD Go Edit application.
Input and Output Block Options
When the Input or Output block is selected in the Signal Flow, you’ll see its edit
parameters available in the panel (regardless whether in the Edit or Model Select
view). These options are stored per preset.
• Input Block: Choose between the Guitar input or USB 3/4 (also see your
POD Go Owner’s Manual for the USB recording and Re-amping functionality).
The Input block’s Noise Gate On/O, Threshold, and Decay parameters are
available.
• Output Block: The Main 1/4” output’s Pan and Level options are available.
TIP: Global options are also available within your device’s Global Settings > Ins/Outs
screen
Controller Assignment Indicators
Once a snapshot, footswitch, or EXP pedal type controller has been created for a
parameter, you’ll see an assignment icon appear to the left of the slider within the
Edit panel, as well as the parameter’s values displayed in brackets and white text.
Parameters with footswitch and EXP pedal type controller assignments will also
display Min. & Max. value indicators, to allow you to adjust the control range.
Snapshot assignment Values in brackets & white text
• EXP Pedal Controller Assignment - For any controller assignment made
to an EXP pedal, you’ll see the numbered pedal icon to the left of
the parameter, numbered to indicate EXP 1 or EXP 2.
• FS Pedal Controller Assignment - For any controller assignment made
to a footswitch, you’ll see the numbered switch icon to the left of
the parameter, numbered to indicate FS1~FS8.
• Snapshot Controller Assignment - For snapshot assignment, you’ll see
the camera icon to the left of the parameter.
Not only are these indicators a nice reference to see your existing assignments while
editing, but you can also click directly on this indicator area (even if no icon appears
there) to open the Select a controller panel to quickly access controller settings.

For conguring all detailed assignment options, click the toggle button to show
the Edit panel’s larger Bypass/Control window. Note that the Bypass/Control window
appears within the Edit panel, and remains displayed until you choose to hide it—
please see “Bypass & Controller Assignment” on page 24.
TIPS:
Right-click on a parameter slider or switch to display the Select a controller panel
where you can create a controller or snapshot assignment for the parameter—also see
page 28.
Alt+Click directly on a parameter within the Edit tab to instantly create a snapshot
controller assignment for it (or to remove an existing snapshot assignment)—see page
13.
By default, all blocks’ bypass states are automatically stored and recalled per snapshot.
If you prefer, you can exclude a block’s bypass state from being recalled via snapshot
changes—see page 13.

DSP Management & Model Availability
Rather than limit you to a lower number of blocks or a reducing audio quality, POD
Go utilizes a dynamic Digital Signal Processor (DSP) management system for model
selection. Some models, such as “jumped” amps and more complex reverb and delay
eects, utilize a greater amount of DSP resources. When conguring a preset with
several heavy DSP usage models, the DSP management system kicks in, allowing you
to still utilize your blocks by disallowing the addition of only the models that exceed
the DSP limit of the preset.
As in your POD Go device’s Model Select menu, when the current preset reaches a
high DSP usage, models that cannot be accommodated become unavailable. In the
POD Go Edit app’s Model Select panel, you’ll see models dimmed to indicate this, as
shown below.
What appears in the panel diers per the type of block that is selected within the
Signal Flow, as described below.
Eects type block - The full set of eects categories are displayed (as shown
above). Click on the desired category to see and choose one of the category’s
eects models. Note that you can choose the None category to clear the Eects
block.
Preset EQ, Wah, Volume, or FX Loop type block - Since these blocks include
just the one category, you’ll see no Category selectors —just the block’s available
models.
Amp/Preamp type block - The Amp and Preamp categories are shown, with
their models available within each.
Cab/IR type block - The Cab and IR categories are shown. The Cab category
includes the full list of cab models. The IR category oers a 1024 Sample IR
category, for which you can choose the desired IR le from your Impulses library.
Please see “Loading an IR in an IR Block” on page 10.
Input or Output block is selected - Whether the panel is in Edit or Model Select
view, you’ll always see the edit parameters available within the panel. See the
previous section
Unavailable models appear dimmed when the preset’s DSP limit is reached
It is also possible to encounter the DSP limit when attempting to load an IR by doing
a double-click upon an IR within the Impulses library (see”Loading an IR in an IR
Block” on page 10 ). When adding an IR to your tone this way where it would
exceed the DSP limit, you’ll be prompted with an alert that the DSP usage of the
current preset does not allow IRs to be loaded.
To free up more DSP resources for the current preset, try changing or removing some
models. The Distortion, Dynamics, EQ, as well as the “Simple” titled eects are typically the
lower DSP usage models. Using one of the Cab models rather than an IR within the Cab/IR
block can reduce DSP usage as well.
23
Bypass & Controller Assignment
Just as on your POD Go device, the POD Go Edit application oers several ways to
create and edit bypass and controller assignments to the footswitches and expression
pedals on your device. As covered in the previous chapters, bypass, snapshot, and
controller assignments can be quickly created and edited directly within the Signal
Flow and Inspector - Edit panel. Within the Edit panel, the Bypass/Control window
oers additional options for deeper work in creating and editing assignments. We’ve
included several step-by-step instructions within this chapter for assignments.
The Bypass/Control Window
When the Edit panel is displayed, you can show or hide the Bypass/Controller panel,
by clicking on the toggle button.* When the Bypass/Control window is shown, it
provides options for the block that is currently selected within the Signal Flow. For
example, in the screenshot below, the Eects block containing the Optical Trem
model is selected, and the panel shows its existing bypass assignment is set to FS6.
The panel’s Parameter menu provides access to all the Optical Trem model’s
parameters for creating and editing controller assignments.
Bypass/Control window toggle button
*NOTE: The Bypass/Control window is a sub-window of the Inspector’s Edit panel.
Therefore, the Show and Hide menu commands and shortcut are available only
when the Edit panel is displayed, and the window remains displayed until you choose to
hide it (even when toggling the Inspector display). Also, keyboard shortcuts continue to
function within the Edit panel when the Edit panel has focus—please see “Keyboard
Shortcuts”.
Practically any model’s parameters can be manually assigned to your device’s
footswitch & expression pedal controllers, for real-time, remote control. It is also
possible here to assign model parameters to be stored and recalled with snapshots.
• Bypass/Control toggle button: When the Edit panel is displayed, click
to show or hide the Bypass/Control window, or use the Window > Show/
Hide Bypass/Control menu command. The X Close button at the top right
can also be used to hide the panel. It’s typically a good practice to close the
window once done adjusting your assignment options.
• Parameter menu: Lists all parameters for the currently selected Signal
Flow block. Choose the parameter here for which you want to assign to a
footswitch, EXP pedal, or to snapshots.
• Controller selectors: Once the desired parameter is selected within the
Parameter menu, click on the preferred FS1~FS8, EXP Toe footswitch or
EXP 1 or EXP 2 pedal to which you want it assigned. Click on the Snapshots
button to allow the parameter’s value to be recalled per snapshot.* Click the
None button to clear an existing assignment. Each FS or EXP controller can
hold a maximum of eight assignments (total bypass and/or controller types).
• * The Snapshots controller selector appears within the panel when
any parameter other than Bypass is selected within the
Parameter menu—see “Creating a Snapshots Controller Assignment” on
page 30. (Note that block bypass is automatically recalled via snapshots,
so no need for you to create a snapshot assignment—see page 13).
• The FS1~FS6 controller selectors display a colored ring, just like
footswitches on your device, to indicate the model category type in use for
the existing assignment.
• The label above a controller selector changes to italicized text to indicate
it includes one or more existing assignments. Also, when hovering your
mouse cursor over a controller selector that includes assignments, a button
appears to launch its “Assignments List Window” on page 29.
• The Mode and Tap footswitches are not available for assignments.
Parameter menu Controller selectors
The Bypass/Controller panel displayed
NOTE: You can create assignments on FS7, FS8, or EXP 2, however, you will need
to have the respective external footswitches or expression pedal connected to POD
Go, and correctly congure their Device Settings (see page 32), to utilize them.
You’ll notice that all Factory Presets already include several bypass and controller
assignments. Additionally, all New Presets already include the following assignments:
• Volume and Wah blocks are assigned to the EXP Toe switch for bypass,
which toggles between enabling these two blocks
• Additionally, EXP 1 & EXP 2 pedal controller assignments are automatically
congured for Wah,Volume/Pan, and Pitch Wham block’s parameters
• The Preset EQ and FX Loop blocks are assigned to FS1 and FS2, respectively,
for bypass
24
NOTE: POD Go includes a handy Auto Assign feature, which creates bypass
assignments to FS1~FS6 as you add models to the four Eects blocks. This
feature is enabled by default - please see “Auto Assign Feature” on page 28.
TIP: You can remotely control several POD Go functions, such as Looper, Tuner,
Tempo, Bank & Preset changes, and more, via (computer - USB) MIDI. All MIDI
control assignments are pre-congured, with no steps necessary to congure them
within POD Go Edit—please see your POD Go Owner’s Manual for details.
Clearing Existing Assignments
There are a few ways to remove or “Clear” any existing bypass or controller
assignment, as we’ve covered below. In this example, we’ll remove a Wah block’s
existing bypass assignment from the Toe Switch, and its Position parameter’s
controller assignment from the EXP 1 pedal.
The fastest way to clear assignments is directly from within the Signal Flow and
Edit panels.
To remove any block’s existing bypass assignment, right-click on the desired
block within the Signal Flow (or click on the assignment indicator label above
the block) to open the quick Bypass Assign window, and then click None.
Left-click on the Assignment Indicator
Alternatively, you can utilize the Edit panel’s more advanced Bypass/Control
window to clear any type of assignment.
1. Within the Signal Flow, click on the block which includes the assignment(s) you
wish to remove (for our example, the Wah block) to select it.
2. If not already visible, click on the footswitch/pedal icon button to display the
Bypass/Control window.
3. Click on the Parameter menu to expand it, and you’ll see all existing
assignments indicated to the right of each parameter’s name. For the Wah, we
see the Bypass is assigned to the Toe Switch and Position to EXP 1.
Select Bypass within the Parameter menu.
4. Click the None button to remove the Bypass - Toe Switch assignment.

Opening a Controller selector’s Assignments List window
This completes the process for clearing the Wah block’s assignments. You can follow
these same steps to remove any block’s existing footswitch, EXP pedal, or snapshot
assignment.
25
Creating a Bypass Assignment
Create a bypass assignment for any block (except for the Input or Output block) to
allow it to be toggled on/o via one of your device's footswitches or EXP pedals.
The following steps can also be used to change an existing bypass assignment to a
dierent footswitch or pedal.
Creating a Bypass Assignment within the Signal Flow
If you just want to quickly create a bypass assignment for any block to a footswitch,
the simplest way to do so is directly within the Signal Flow—we’ve covered this in
“Quick Bypass Assign” on page 20.
Creating a Bypass Assignment using the Bypass/Control Window
The Edit panel’s Bypass/Control window oers deeper functions for creating and
editing all types of assignments. To follow are steps to create bypass assignments
that utilize a footswitch or EXP pedal.
You can also change a block’s existing bypass assignment using the above steps.
When you select a footswitch in step 4, any existing bypass is automatically moved to
your newly selected footswitch. You can also create bypass assignments for multiple
blocks to one, common footswitch—see “Bypass Assignments for Multiple Blocks”.
Creating a Bypass Assignment Using an Expression Pedal
It is also possible to assign a block's bypass to an EXP pedal. An example of this is
to congure a Wah block so that resting the pedal at the “heel” position bypasses the
eect, and then moving the pedal away from this position to use the Wah automatically
activates the eect. Set this type of conguration using the following steps.
NOTE: When conguring the Wah for pedal bypass, it is recommended to connect
an additional pedal to the POD Go EXP 2 jack, to allow the Volume Pedal block to
have its own, separate controller pedal. If you are not to be using an additional pedal, it
would be a good idea to Clear the Volume Pedal block’s existing Bypass and Position
assignments, so that the on-board pedal can be dedicated to the Wah. See the
preceding “Clearing Existing Assignments” section.
Creating a Bypass Assignment Using a Footswitch
1. Select the block within the Signal Flow for which you want to create the
bypass assignment.
2. Choose the Show Bypass/Control command from the main Window menu.
3. Click the Parameter Menu within the Bypass/Control window and choose
Bypass, if not already selected.
Choose Bypass within
the Parameter menu
Choose the desired
controller selector for
the bypass assignment
Selecting FS4 for an Eects block bypass assignment
4. A bypass assignment can utilize FS1~FS8, or the pedal’s Toe Switch. Click on
the desired footswitch controller selector within the panel and your assignment
is created. (Optionally, you can choose an EXP pedal for your bypass
assignment—see the next section.) Close the Bypass/Control window.
1. Double-click on the Wah block within the Signal Flow to access its parameters
within the Edit panel.
2. Move the on-board expression pedal forward and click the Toe Switch so that
the device’s WAH/EXP 1 LED is lit, and the Wah block is active (if it isn’t already).
3. Open the Bypass/Control window. Note that Bypass for the Wah block
is already assigned to the EXP Toe switch—this step will move its bypass
assignment to the EXP pedal instead. By default, the Wah block’s Position
parameter includes a controller assignment to the EXP 1 pedal. We’re not
going to change this, since the goal here is to have the same pedal toggle the
Wah’s bypass as well as control the Wah Position.
NOTE: When you click on and expand the Parameter menu, you may see
indicators in brackets to the right of each parameter—these tell you all existing
bypass and controller assignment for the block. For example, the Wah’s Position
menu shows that Bypass is assigned to the Toe Switch, and Position to EXP 1.

Click the Parameter Menu and choose Bypass, then click on the EXP 1 Controller
selector within the panel.

Conguring an EXP pedal - Bypass assignment parameters
4. Once the assignment is created, you can congure its parameter sliders that
appear at the bottom of the Bypass/Control screen, if needed.
• Position - For a bypass assignment, this determines the position of the
controller where the block's bypass is triggered. Set this slider to 5% or lower to
establish a “heel down” resting position to trigger your bypass toggle.
• Wait - Determines the duration of time for which the assigned controller must
rest at the congured Position value before the bypass is triggered. For this type
of Wah bypass assignment, 300 ms or slightly higher is generally a good setting,
since it prevents unwanted bypass triggering during the typical use of the pedal
for your Wah eect.
Once congured, you'll see that your EXP 1 pedal's heel down position toggles
the Wah block o, and as soon as you move the pedal, it activates the Wah until
you move the pedal back to the Min heel position and rest it there for 300 ms
or more (as determined by the Wait slider). You can choose to congure other
blocks’ parameters with a “pedal bypass” using these same steps as well. Close
the Bypass/Control window when your settings are complete.
TIP: A handy trick is to create a multi-bypass assignment to toggle one block o
and the other on simultaneously, such as to change between two dierent
distortions, between two dierent delays, etc. To reverse the switching, select one block
within the Signal Flow and manually click its Bypass button so that one block is the
opposite bypass state as the other. Now whenever you toggle the assigned Bypass
footswitch, both blocks' bypass states are toggled oppositely.
NOTE: If a footswitch includes multiple bypass and/or controller assignments,
you’ll see these assignments within the footswitch controller selector’s
Assignments List window, where they can also be cleared- see page 29.
The Assignments List window displays multiple assignments
Bypass Assignments for Multiple Blocks
You can only assign the Bypass toggle of any particular block to one footswitch at
a time. If a block already has an existing bypass assignment, and you change the
assignment, this will move the assignment to the newly selected footswitch or EXP
pedal. But it is possible to assign the Bypass function for multiple blocks to one
common footswitch or controller for simultaneous switching.
Each footswitch or EXP pedal can hold up to eight assignments maximum (of any
combination of bypass or controller types). A preset can include up to 64 assignments
maximum (of any combination of bypass, controller, and snapshot types).
27
Auto Assign Feature
The POD Go device’s Global Settings > Switches/Pedals > FS Auto Assign On/O
option determines whether or not POD Go automatically creates a bypass assignment
for each of the four Eects blocks (once a model is selected for the block), where a
block bypass assignment is added to the earliest empty FS1~FS6 location. FS Auto
Assign is On by default. You can also edit your bypass assignments for any block at
any time, regardless of the FS Auto Assign On/O state, as covered in the following
sections.
• For any Eects block, its bypass is auto-assigned to the earliest empty
FS1~FS6 for bypass when an initial model is added to the empty block. If the
block’s model is changed, the bypass assignment for the block remains on
the footswitch.
• Within all New Presets, the Preset EQ block’s bypass is pre-assigned to FS1,
and the FX Loop block’s bypass to FS2. However, you can Clear these blocks’
bypass assignments to free up FS1 & FS2 for auto and manual assignments
of other blocks.
NOTE: If you manually Clear the Preset EQ or FX Loop block’s bypass
assignment, and then change the model for the block, the Auto Assign
feature will again assign its block bypass to the rst non-assigned FS1~FS6.
• Wah and Volume blocks’ bypass is already pre-assigned to the pedal Toe
Switch. You can Clear these blocks’ bypass assignments if desired, but the
Auto Assign feature does not create assignments to the pedal Toe Switch. You
can manually create assignments to the Toe Switch as desired.
• Amp/Preamp, and Cab/IR blocks are not auto-assigned to footswitches, but
can be assigned manually.
• Once Auto Assign has created bypass assignments to all FS1 through FS6,
no other auto assignments are created within the preset (unless you manually
Clear assignments from FS1~FS6).
You’ll see more about these behaviors throughout this chapter, and in the POD Go
Owner’s Manual.
Creating a Controller Assignment
You can create a controller assignment for practically any block's parameter (yes,
even any Input, Output, FX Loop, or Looper block parameter!) to allow it to be
controlled by the device's footswitches or EXP Pedals. You can also congure
a snapshot assignment to allow your desired parameter settings to be stored &
recalled with a preset's snapshots. To follow are several examples for creating these
assignments.
Creating a Controller Assignment in the Edit Panel
The easiest way to create a controller assignment is directly from the parameter within the
Edit panel, such as for a Delay’s Mix parameter.
1. Click on the assignment indicator area left of the parameter (or right-click on
slider) directly within the Edit panel to display the quick Select a controller panel,
and then click on the desired controller to quickly create a controller assignment.

2. The new controller assignment is specied within the Edit panel with several
handy indicators. For our example, the Delay’s Mix parameter appears as
follows. Note that you can also adjust the Min. and Max. values to adjust the
range of control by the assigned EXP pedal or footswitch by dragging the
parameter slider’s Min. & Max. indicator arrows. (The Min. & Max. parameters
can also be accessed within the main Bypass/Control window - see next
section.)

Creating a Controller Assignment using the Bypass/Control Window
The Edit panel’s Bypass/Control window oers deeper functions for creating and
editing all types of assignments. To follow are steps to create a controller assignment
that utilizes a footswitch or EXP pedal.
1. Double-click on the block within the Signal Flow that includes the parameter
for which you want to create the controller assignment. We’ll choose a Delay
block - Simple Delay model for our example.
2. Choose the Show Bypass/Control command from the main Window menu.
3. Click the Parameter Menu within the Bypass/Control window and choose the
Mix of the Simple Delay.

5. Once a controller assignment is created, you’ll see its Minimum and Maximum
sliders at the bottom of the Bypass/Control window which allow you to limit
the range of the assigned parameter as you move the pedal from minimum to
maximum position. For our example, we'll set the Max. Mix slider to 50% so that
it achieves a 50% wet/dry Mix balance when our controller is moved to full open.

Maximum sliders
Conguring Min. & Max. options for an EXP Pedal controller assignment
If you have chosen a footswitch as your controller rather than an EXP pedal, you
can similarly congure the Min. and Max. sliders to the specic values you'd like
for the “O” and “On” footswitch states, respectively, for the assigned footswitch.
Close the Bypass/Control window when your settings are complete.
TIP: You can “reverse” the behavior of a controller by setting the Min to 100% and
the Max to 0%, such as to make an assigned Wah pedal work backwards!
Selecting a Delay's Mix parameter for controller assignment
4. With the Mix parameter selected, click on the desired controller and your
assignment is created. We'll choose EXP 1, but you can alternatively choose
EXP 2, or choose one of your footswitches, which allows you to then congure
a specic parameter value for each of the two states of the footswitch. More
on this in the nal step.
Selecting an EXP 1 pedal controller for controller assignment
Assignments List Window
Within the Edit panel’s Bypass/Control window, when any footswitch, EXP, or
snapshot controller type includes one or more assignments, you’ll see a little button
appear at the top right of the controller item when hovering your mouse cursor over
it. Clicking this button displays the Assignments List window for the controller. For
example, if the FS1 includes multiple assignments, such as bypass assignments for
two blocks, they appear in this window.
The FS1 Assignments List window
This list window oers a handy reference to see all existing assignments per controller,
as well as a few handy features for clearing assignments:
• Click the X button to the left of any individual assignment in the window to
clear it.
• Click the Clear All button to clear all assignments from the selected controller.
29
Creating a Snapshots Controller Assignment
Congure a block's parameter with a snapshots assignment to allow the parameter's
settings to be stored & recalled with a preset's snapshots. For these examples, we’ll
create a snapshots assignment for the Drive parameter of the Kinky Boost, which then
allows us to congure a dierent Drive value to be recalled for each snapshot.
Creating a Controller Assignment in the Edit Panel
The easiest way to create a controller assignment is directly within the Edit panel.
Double-click on the Kinky Boost block within the Signal Flow to show the Edit
panel, then click on the assignment indicator area left of the Drive slider (or rightclick on the slider itself) and choose Snapshots within the Select a controller
panel. Also see “Controller Assignment Indicators” on page 22.

using the “Alt+click” or “S” keyboard shortcut to instantly create (or clear) a
snapshots controller assignment for the parameter.
Creating a Snapshot Assignment using the Bypass/Control Window
The Edit panel’s Bypass/Control window oers deeper functions for creating and
editing all types of assignments. To follow are steps to create a Snapshots assignment
to a parameter.
1. Double-click on the Distortion - Kinky Boost block within the Signal Flow.
2. Open the Bypass/Controller Assign panel, click the Parameter menu and
choose the Drive parameter.
3. Click on the Snapshots controller button in the panel to create the assignment.
Choose Drive within
the Parameter menu
Choose the Snapshots
controller selector to
create the assignment
Selecting the Snapshots controller button to create a Snapshots assignment
4. Unlike with other assignment types, you won't see any congurable options
at the bottom of the Bypass/Control window for a snapshots controller
assignment. Close the Bypass/Control window when your settings are
complete.
With this assignment created for the parameter, simply choose the desired snapshot
1~4 from the Snapshots menu at the top of the POD Go Edit application window,
set the desired value for this parameter, and it is automatically stored and recalled
with the snapshot. This allows you to congure up to four dierent values within the
current preset—one for each available snapshot. Please see your device's Owner's
Manual for more details on using snapshots.
Multiple Controller Assignments
Just as on the hardware, you can only assign a parameter to one controller at a time.
However, it is possible to assign multiple parameters to one common controller, for
example, you could create the following controller assignments:
• Congure an EXP pedal for the Mix parameters of two dierent eects to
blend between them.
• Congure an EXP pedal to simultaneously adjust the Drive and the Level
parameters of a Distortion block inversely, to attain a dierent amount of
distortion without overall volume output changes.
• Congure changes for several parameters to create a dramatic tonal change.
As an example, for a guitar solo tone, congure a Volume and Gain boost
on a Distortion, an increase for the Mix of a Delay and Reverb, and enable a
Chorus block—all with the click of one footswitch!
You can reference all assignments per controller within each controller’s Assignments
List—see page 29.
NOTE: If a footswitch includes one or more additional block bypass and/or
controller assignments, the footswitch’s label on your POD Go device - Stomp
footswitch mode screen appears as Multiple (X), with “X” being the number of
assignments.

Global EQ Window
The Global EQ, accessed from the application's Window menu, oers a large
graphical interface for the POD Go device's Global EQ feature. As its name implies,
this EQ’s settings and bypass state are indeed global and not saved or recalled with
any preset or snapshot.
Reset Button
Inspector Pane Band Parameters
The Global EQ is a 5-band, parametric style equalizer, situated after all other
processing blocks of your POD Go signal path, allowing for sculpting your overall
tone just before it is sent out the device’s Main 1/4" and Headphones outputs. This is
especially handy for ne-tuning your tone to compensate for a venue's stage or room
sound, without having to go in and tweak all your presets.
Band Edit Nodes
Bypass Button
Done Button
Adjusting Global EQ Parameters
The Global EQ window oers two methods in which you can view & adjust its
settings: by dragging any band's edit “node” within the graph, or by adjusting the
selected band's parameter sliders within the lower inspector portion of the window.
The EQ processing is functional whenever its Bypass button is set to “active” in this
window (or via your device's Bypass button when viewing its Global EQ screen).
Reset - Click the Reset button to instantly return all parameters to their default,
“at” values, and the EQ enabled.
Bypass Button - Toggle the Bypass to globally enable or disable the EQ. The initial
default is that the Global EQ is enabled, with all parameters “at.”
Band Edit Nodes - Click and drag the desired band's Edit Node in the upper
graph to adjust its Frequency and Gain. You'll also see the respective parameters'
sliders move within the inspector pane while adjusting any edit node.
Inspector Pane - This lower portion of the window oers a set of adjustable
parameters for each of the EQ's ve bands.
Band Parameters - Each band has its own set of sliders. Note that the Low Cut
and High Cut are “shelving” type lters, allowing you to set the roll-o point for the
low and high frequencies, respectively. The middle 3 bands are fully parametric,
with controls for choosing the center Frequency, Gain (with a boost or cut of up
to 12 dB), and Q (the width of the frequency range aected). Adjust the sliders as
follows:
• Click and drag any slider's handle or use the Up/Down buttons at the right of
each slider
• Right-click on a slider to enter a precise value numerically
• Turn your mouse wheel while hovering your cursor over any slider
• Click on a slider and use the comma/period or -/+ shortcut keys to
incrementally adjust its value
• Double click on a slider to individually reset it to its default value
Done Button - Click to close the Global EQ window.
TIP: Try the handy keyboard shortcuts for adjusting Global EQ options—see page
48.

Marketplace & Account Options
Marketplace
The Line 6 Marketplace online shop is where you'll nd 3rd-party, premium add-on
assets that even further enhance the functionality of your POD Go device (as
well as for Helix and HX devices and the Helix Native plug-in). As of this writing,
professionally crafted POD Go Presets and Impulse Responses (IRs) are available—
all IRs that are oered for Helix family products are also fully supported by POD Go
devices (Marketplace Helix & HX presets are not supported by POD Go devices).
New products are constantly being added, so be sure to check back often on the
Marketplace site for news and announcements. As covered within this chapter, you're
only a few clicks away from using new Marketplace Presets and IRs on your system,
right from the My Account menu in POD Go Edit.
Get Your Marketplace Assets
Access the Marketplace website by choosing the Get More Presets and Get More
IRs, commands within the My Account menu at the bottom left of the POD Go
Edit window (or go directly to https://line6.com/marketplace/). When visiting the
Marketplace site, simply sign in to your Line 6 account, choose the desired products,
add them to your cart, and check out.*
*NOTE: Be sure to log in to the same Line 6 account on which you've authorized
your computer for POD Go Edit to ensure your Marketplace purchased assets
are added to the correct account!
Once your purchase is complete, your downloadable Marketplace assets are
deposited into your Line 6 account, which include your personal license that allows
you to import them on your authorized computer system. Each Marketplace purchase
is typically downloadable as a “zip” le that you'll need to “unzip” on your local hard
drive once downloaded.
To download your purchased assets, click on the Manage Account command
within POD Go Edit app's My Account menu (or go directly to https://line6.com/
account/), sign in to your account, and select Marketplace from the Hardware &
Software section at the left.
Licenses for all your purchased assets are automatically added to your Line 6
account and “synced” the next time you use the POD Go Edit application, when
you are actively signed in to your Line 6 account from the My Account menu (see
“Sign In / Sign Out” on page 35).
Import and Utilize Your Marketplace Assets
An Internet connection is required for the computer where you'll be using the POD Go
Edit app to authorize it for the use of Marketplace premium assets, and for the sync
with your Line 6 account to initially authenticate your newly purchased Marketplace
licensed assets. Otherwise, an active Internet connections is not required for the use
of POD Go Edit. Please see the following sections for details about signing in and
authorization.
Once you've signed in and authorized your computer via POD Go Edit, your
premium Marketplace presets and IRs can then be imported and used just like any
other presets and IRs within POD Go Edit.
Once imported, premium Marketplace assets, appear with a golden guitar pick
“badge” at their right in the POD Go Edit Preset and Impulses library lists—also see
page 8 and page 9 for more about importing presets and IRs.
The golden guitar pick badges indicate premium Marketplace Presets and IRs
34
The My Account Menu Options
At the bottom left of the POD Go Edit application window, you'll see the My Account
menu and account status indicator. Initially, before you've signed in to your Line 6
online account and/or authorized your computer for Marketplace premium assets,
you'll see this menu displayed with the My Account label.
The My Account menu (not signed in or authorized)
Clicking on the My Account menu displays options for signing in & managing your Line
6 account, as well as for access to the Marketplace online shop.*
*NOTE: It is not required that your computer have an active Internet connection, nor
do you need to be signed in or authorized at all for the POD Go Edit app itself to be
functional. But an Internet connection and signing in is necessary to authorize (or
deauthorize) your computer to allow the import and export of premium assets
purchased from the online Marketplace.
Sign In / Sign Out
If you are not currently signed in, choose Sign In from the menu and enter your
Line 6 account user name and password in the Sign In window. If you have forgotten
your sign in credentials, or have not already created a Line 6 account, choose the
Forgot my password/username or Create a Line 6 account option within the
window. If you are already signed in and wish to sign out, choose the Sign Out option
from the menu.
TIP: If you plan on purchasing premium Marketplace assets, it is easiest to simply
keep POD Go Edit actively signed in, with your computer in the authorized state.
This allows the licenses for your purchased assets to automatically be “synced” from
your Line 6 account, and for the assets able to be utilized for all actions within the POD
Go Edit app. It is also necessary to be signed in to utilize the built in Firmware Updater
features within POD Go Edit (page 58)
The Line 6 account Sign In window
Computer Authorization Status Indicator
Once you've signed in, your computer is automatically authorized, as conrmed by a
pop up window letting you know the sign in and authorization were successful. You'll
see the My Account menu label display your rst name, derived from your Line 6
account, and indicate the status of your account sign in and computer authorization
(more details about authorization in the following section). Whenever signed out, the
menu button displays the “My Account” label, with no colored authorization indicator.
Signed in with computer authorized
Once you've authorized your computer, you can optionally sign out, and your computer
remains in the authorized state, allowing you to continue to perform import, export, copy
and back up actions with your Marketplace assets, even if your Internet connection is not
currently active.
Note that you will need an Internet connection to be able to sign in again to access the
Deauthorize and Authorize options from the menu, as well as to initially synchronize with
your online Line 6 account after making any new Marketplace purchase (see “License
Synchronization”).
Signed out with computer Deauthorized
35
Authorize / Deauthorize Your Computer
It is necessary for your computer to be in the authorized state for performing any POD
Go Edit Import, Export, Copy/Paste or Backup/Restore action that includes your
purchased Marketplace IRs. Simply signing in to your Line 6 account will authorize
your computer automatically.*
*NOTE: It is permitted to authorize a maximum of 4 of your computers
concurrently. If you've already authorized 4 computers, you can deauthorize
one computer to free up one of your authorizations.
Deauthorizing You Computer
While signed in to your Line 6 account, choose the Deauthorize Computer command
from the My Account menu and the brief online deauthorization process completes
automatically. You'll see a conrmation dialog appear to indicate your deauthorized
state. Additionally, deauthorizing your computer will also automatically sign you out of
your Line 6 account.
When deauthorized, the POD Go Edit application still functions to provide all preset &
IR librarian and signal ow editing tasks, however, premium Marketplace-purchased
assets are not able to be imported or exported with the POD Go Edit app. You can
choose Authorize Computer from the menu to authorize the computer again at any
time, providing you have not exceeded the 4 computer authorization limit.
Helix/HX Device & Helix Native Plug-in Owners: If you’ve already purchased
and utilized premium Marketplace IRs, please also see the Pilot's Guide for HX
Edit or Helix Native plug-in for use with those products.
License Synchronization
Whenever you make a purchase from Marketplace, a license for each product
you purchase is deposited into your online Line 6 account. For the POD Go Edit
application to access your new licenses and eectively “unlock” your purchased
assets, it needs to perform a “sync” process with your Line 6 account. You must
have an active Internet connection and be signed in within POD Go Edit on your
next use of the app after your purchase for this license synchronization to occur.
When you're signed in, this brief sync takes place automatically in POD Go Edit the
next time you launch the application, or if already running, when you next click on the
POD Go Edit app window. (Note that it may take up to 5 minutes before a sync occurs
if POD Go Edit was already running.) Once the license sync has completed, an active
Internet connection is not required for the use of these Marketplace purchased assets
within POD Go Edit, or within your Helix hardware.
Manage Account
Choose this menu option to be taken to the Line6.com My Account page, where
you can view and update your Line 6 user account—view and manage add-ons and
Marketplace purchases, register Line 6 gear, update your personal information, and
more.

Model Lists
To follow are the lists of all Eect, Amp, Speaker Cabinet & Microphone models included
within POD Go devices, including descriptions of the original gear they are based on.*
Models, in many cases, include some unique parameters, typically based on the controls
found on the original gear we modeled. However, you will also nd a set of options that
are common to model category types, as described in the sections that follow.
Effects Block Models
Distortion Dynamics EQ Modulation Delay Reverb Pitch/Synth Filter Looper
The following models are found within each of the device’s Eects block category
menus. The mono and stereo processing capabilities of eects models are as follows:
• Distortion, Dynamics, and Pitch/Synth category models are mono.
• EQ, Modulation, Delay, Reverb, and Filter category models are stereo.
• Looper category models are, as indicated by their names, oered in both
mono and stereo.
Mono models process in mono, as you’d expect, collapsing the stereo output of any
block preceding it to mono. Stereo models process the signal as stereo-in, stereo-out.
Bypassed blocks do not collapse any stereo signal fed into them.

delays. Activate the model's Note Sync parameter to toggle
between Hz and note values. Choosing a ms value provides a
specic time in milliseconds; choosing a note division value provides
a time based on the current tempo. With a note division value, this
parameter’s value is retained when changing models.
Adjusts the intensity of the modulation. Higher settings result in more
extreme pitch bending, wobble, or throb, depending on the eect.
Adjusts the amount of delayed signal fed back into the eect. Higher

value and the right channel will repeat at a time that is the percentage
of the left time. For example, if a delay's Time is set for 1 second and
the Scale set to 75%, the left channel will repeat at 1 second and the
right at 750 milliseconds (ms).
Spread diers slightly among stereo delay eects. For most delays,
it adjusts how widely the repeats bounce left and right. With the Ping
Pong Delay, for example, 0 is in the middle (mono), and 10 is full left to
right panning for the repeats.
For modulated stereo delays, Spread aects the LFOs’ (low frequency
oscillators) stereo modulation behavior. At 0 the LFOs are in sync. At
10, the two LFOs are 180 degrees out of sync, so that when one side
is modulating up, the other side is modulating down.
Some mod and delay models' internal signal paths exhibit a bit of grit,
especially when placed after a high-gain amp block. Negative values
increase the perceived amount of grit; positive values clean things up
a bit. At 0dB, the model behaves like the original pedal.
Filters a portion of the block’s bass and/or treble frequencies, which
can help remove rumble and/or high-end harshness.
Blends the eected “wet” signal vs. the “dry” signal passed through
the block. When set to 0%, the path bypasses the eect completely.
When set to 100%, the entire path is fed through the eect, and no
dry thru signal is heard.
Adjusts the overall output level of the eects block. Be careful not to
boost this parameter too high on multiple blocks, as digital clipping
could occur. You should typically leave this at 0.0dB for most blocks.
Where the original pedal's level or volume knob behavior doesn't
really apply to dB values, 0.0-10 may be used.
Trails O: Any delay repeats or reverb decays are instantly muted
when the block is bypassed.
Trails On: Any delay repeats or reverb decays continue to decay
naturally when the block is bypassed or a dierent snapshot is
selected.
FX Loop Block
The FX Loop lets you dynamically insert your favorite external stompboxes (or rack
eects) into any location in your preset, via the POD Go stereo TRS Send and Return
jacks. You can select this block and set it to be Mono or Stereo as desired per preset.
FX Loop Active FX Loop Bypassed
NOTE: Within your POD Go device’s Global Settings > Ins/Outs, the FX Loop

Amp/Preamp Block Models
Amp Preamp
The following guitar & bass amp and preamp models are found within the Amp/
Preamp block category menus. Use an Amp category model along with your choice
of speaker model within the Cab/IR block for a traditional amp tone.* Or, choose
a Preamp category model for tone and character of just the preamp stage of the
amplier (this can be a great option when feeding your POD Go output into an
external power amplier). All Amp and Preamp category models are mono.
*NOTE: The Link Amp/Cab option within your device’s Global Settings
> Preferences determines whether the current preset’s Cab block model
automatically changes based on the Amp model you select within the Amp/
Preamp block. If you prefer to choose your Cab block model independently
within all presets, set the Link Amp/Cab option to On. See the list of “Cab/IR
Block Speaker Cabinet Models” on page 45).

Bias
Bias X
Adjusts the amount of power amp distortion. This parameter is highly
interactive with all other power amp parameters—the lower the Master
is set, the less eect the other controls will have.
Lower Sag values oer a “tighter” responsiveness for metal and djent
playing; higher values provide more touch dynamics & sustain for
blues and classic rock ris.
Controls how much heater hum and AC ripple interacts with your tone.
At higher settings, things get freaky.
Changes the Bias of the power tubes. Lower values achieve a “colder”
Class AB biasing. At maximum, the amp is operating in Class A.
Determines how the power amp tubes' voicing reacts when pushed
hard. Set low for a tighter feel. Set high for more tube compression.
This parameter is highly reactive with the Drive and Master settings.

Firmware Updater & Additional Resources
POD Go Device Firmware Updater
For your convenience, a Firmware Updater is built right in to the POD Go Edit
application! With your POD Go device connected and an active Internet connection,
when you launch POD Go Edit it will automatically check to see if your device has the
latest available rmware installed, and you’ll be prompted to update your device, if
needed. You can also access the Check for Updates button within the POD Go Edit
Preferences window at any time - see page 32. It is highly recommended to always
use the latest versions of device rmware and POD Go Edit software to benet from
the latest features and the smoothest product compatibility.
To Update your Device Firmware
Connect your POD Go device to your Mac or PC, launch POD Go Edit, and proceed
with the following steps.
NOTE: If you wish to install any rmware version on your device other than the
latest, and/or have no Internet connection on your current computer, you must
use the separate Line 6 Updater application—see page 60.
Sign In: If you have not already signed in, click the My Account button at the
lower left of the POD Go Edit window and choose Sign In, enter your line6.com
account Username and Password, and click Sign in. If you have not yet created
an account, click Create a Line 6 Account in the Sign In window to go to the
line6.com website and create your free account, and then return to POD Go Edit
and sign in.
Upon launch of POD Go Edit (or once you’ve signed in within POD Go Edit), if the
app nds a newer rmware version for your device online, you’ll see a pop-up
window. Here you can choose to Remind Me Later, read the Release Notes, or
click Update Now to proceed and update your device.
*IMPORTANT! Please be sure to read the Release Notes for all Line 6
application and device driver installations rst, before performing
updates or installations. There may be specic instructions for the order
and procedure to perform the update, depending on the existing version
you already have installed.
Also, whenever a newer rmware is available, you’ll see a notication at the bottom
right of the POD Go Edit app window. You can also launch the Firmware Updater
by clicking on this indicator.
Choosing OK in the above Update Available window launches the Updater, which
walks you through the simple backup and rmware update process, as described
in the following steps.
• Create Backup - You are prompted to create a backup, which includes all
your device’s presets, setlists, IRs and global settings. Click OK to continue
Signing in to your Line 6 account within POD Go Edit
58
• Optionally, you can customize the title, description, and save location for your
Backup le within the Create Backup window (see page 16 for details).
Click the Create Backup button to proceed.
• End User License Agreement: - You must agree to the terms of the License
Agreement to perform the rmware installation - read and click OK to
continue.
• Update Device: Click Update and the Updater does its thing—simply sit back
and wait for the update to run, as indicated by the status bar at the bottom of
the window. It is especially important not to disturb the device’s controls
and cable connections until the update fully completes!
• Update Complete: Once nished, you’ll see the Update Complete screen.
Just click Back to POD Go Edit and wait for your device to restart and rebuild
all presets. You’ll then be reconnected to the POD Go Edit app—ready to start
using the new rmware!
59
While the presets on your device will not be altered, some minor sonic changes
may still occur with some rmware updates, as noted within any rmware’s Release
Notes.
TIP: Alternatively, you can manually check for available rmware updates
anytime by clicking the Check For Updates button found within the
Preferences window—see page 32.
Using the Line 6 Updater App
As mentioned in the previous section, for updating to the latest available
POD Go device rmware, it is recommended to use the built in Firmware
Updater within POD Go Edit. If for any reason you wish to “roll back” to or
install an older rmware version, you must use the separate Line 6 Updater
application. The free Line 6 Updater software is available from line6.com/software/.
IMPORTANT! Please be sure to carefully read the Release Notes for all
Line 6 application and device driver installations rst, before performing
updates or installations. Also read the Release Notes and Special Instructions
displayed within the Line 6 Updater application when starting a rmware
update (see the following steps). There may be specic instructions for the
order and procedure to perform the update, depending on the existing version
you already have installed.
• When ready click Next and Line 6 Updater software will assist you in
performing the update in minutes. It is especially important not to disturb
the device’s controls and cable connections until the update fully
completes!
While the presets on your device will not be altered, some minor sonic changes may
still occur with rmware updates, as noted within any rmware's Release Notes.
Using Line 6 Updater in Ofine Mode
If the computer you are using to run the Line 6 Updater app is not connected to
the Internet, you can use the app’s Oine Mode to update your POD Go device’s
rmware, as follows.
• You’ll need to rst obtain the latest rmware for your POD Go device by
downloading it from the line6.com/software/ web page, then manually copy
the downloaded (.hxf) le to your computer where you’ll be running Line 6
Updater. Connect your device directly to the computer’s USB port.
TIP: It is always a good idea to create a backup of your device's contents before
performing a rmware update! The best procedure is to perform the backup in
your existing POD Go Edit version rst—then update to the latest device rmware and
POD Go Edit versions. See “Creating & Restoring Complete Device Backups” on
page 16.
To use the Line 6 Updater application - With your POD Go device connected
and powered on, quit all other Line 6 and audio applications and launch the Line 6
Updater application.
On Mac - Go to Applications > Line 6 > Line 6 Updater
On Windows® - Go to the Start button menu > All Apps (or Programs) > Line 6 >
Line 6 Updater
• Once you’ve launched the Line 6 Updater app, you will be asked to sign into
your Line 6 account.* If you do not have an account, you must rst create one.
Follow the prompts through to the quick online registration.
NOTE: If the computer you are using is not connected to the Internet, it is still
possible to use Line 6 Updater in “Oine Mode” to update your device.
Please see the steps at the end of this section for details.
• Once logged in, any USB-connected and supported Line 6 products
(including POD Go) will appear in the main view of the Line 6 Updater
application. Click on the device you wish to update and your device's current
rmware version and available updates are displayed.
• Select the desired rmware version and click the Update button.
• The rmware’s Release Notes are shown before continuing with the update
process. Read them for important details.*
• The License Agreement is displayed next. Read through the agreement and
Click Accept to agree to the terms and conditions and start the update
process.
• You'll then see the rmware's Special Instructions displayed. Be sure to read
all instructions here carefully and follow the steps.
NOTE: While on the Line 6 software page, it is highly recommended that you
fully read the Release Notes for the rmware version that you are about to
download before running Line 6 Updater. These notes may include important
details on the steps for your specic update!
• Launch Line 6 Updater. Rather than logging in, press the Oine Mode button.
• Choose the device that you wish to update (POD Go).
• Click the Choose File button to browse your computer and select the POD
Go (.hxf) rmware le you obtained in the rst step.
• Now just press the Next button and proceed with the update, carefully
following all the screen instructions until the process completes.
TIP: Whenever installing rmware, you must be sure to also install the matching
version number of the POD Go Edit application. Please visit line6.com/software/
to nd the correct application version.
