Welcome to POD Go

Manual? I don’t need no stinkin’ manual!

Perhaps, but you might miss out on some cool tips, tricks, and shortcuts that help you make better sounding tones and speed up the entire process. Fortunately, we’ve made a series of how-to videos for those of us who can’t be bothered to, y’know, read.

Go here: line6.com/meet-pod-go

POD Go? POD Go Wireless? What’s the difference?

POD Go Wireless has a built-in Relay® wireless receiver, ships with a Line 6 Relay G10TII wireless transmitter, charges the transmitter from its GUITAR IN jack, and includes a convenient storage well in the back panel for transport.* Other than that, they’re pretty much identical. So when you see “POD Go” in this manual, assume we also mean POD Go Wireless. Any POD Go Wireless-specific content will appear in blue text with a wireless icon, like this sentence .

*NOTE: POD Go Wireless also supports the earlier Line 6 Relay G10T transmitter. A G10T transmitter should be updated to the latest firmware.

Common Terminology

While reading this manual, you may encounter several unfamiliar terms. It’s important to know what they mean.

Block	Blocks are objects that represent various elements of your tone, such as
	amps, cabs, effects, loopers, inputs, outputs, and impulse responses.
	POD Go can accommodate one amp/preamp block, one cab/IR block,
	a Wah block, a Volume pedal block, a Preset EQ block, an FX Loop
	block, and up to four additional effects blocks, all simultaneously.
Model	Each block can accommodate one model. POD Go includes 85 guitar
	and bass amp models, 39 cab models, 16 mic models, and over 210
	effects models. See page 16 for the complete lists of included
	models and the gear they are based on.

Preset	A preset is your tone. It consists of all blocks, parameter settings,
	snapshots, footswitch assignments, and controller assignments.
Send/	The stereo TRS Send and Return jacks are used to insert your favorite
Return	amp via 4-Cable Method - see “FX Loop Settings” on page 28.
	stompboxesanywhereinthesignalfloworforconnectingtoyourguitar
IR	IRs (Impulse Responses) are mathematical functions representing the
	sonic measurements of audio systems and are most often used for cab
	tones. POD Go can store up to 128 custom or third-party IRs at a time.*
	See “Cab/IR” on page 18.

*NOTE: To import IRs into your POD Go hardware, you’ll need to download and install the latest Line 6 POD Go Edit application. POD Go Edit is not only an indispensable librarian for managing and backing up all your presets and IRs, but also provides a full-size display for easy editing, right on your Mac or Windows® computer—and it’s free!

16. GUITAR IN Connect your guitar or bass to the GUITAR IN jack. Connect the included G10TII wireless transmitter here to charge its battery.

IMPORTANT! If you turn off POD Go Wireless while a G10T or G10TII is in the Guitar/Charge port, it will remain in sleep mode and slowly lose charge over a week or so. Not a problem if you play POD Go every day, but a huge bummer when you come back from vacation (which is why you should bring POD Go Wireless on vacation with you!). While in the storage well, the G10T/G10TII may retain its charge for a month or more, so it’s ready to go when you are.

17. EXP 2, FOOTSWITCH 7/8 Connect an expression pedal here to adjust a wide variety of parameters. Alternatively, one (or with a Y-cable, two) external footswitches can be added to access additional stomps. (FS7=tip, FS8=ring). For external footswitches, the momentary (unlatched) type should be used.

18. FX LOOP These stereo 1/4" in and out jacks can be used as an FX loop for inserting external stompboxes between specific blocks in POD Go, or as inputs and outputs for running 4-Cable Method rigs. See “POD Go in 4-Cable Method”.

Alternatively, the TRS Return/AUX input can act as an always-on, Aux In for monitoring mixers, keyboards, drum machines, or MP3 players. To set the function of the Return L/R jack, see “Global Settings > Ins/Outs”.

19. MAIN OUT L/MONO, RIGHT These 1/4" outputs can accommodate either unbalanced TS cables to connect to your guitar amp or other pedals, or balanced

IMPORTANT! If the PHONES jack is connected, the MAIN OUT jacks will always be stereo, regardless of whether or not the RIGHT out is connected.

20. AMP OUT This unbalanced output is meant to send directly to the front of your guitar amp. By default, it reflects the same output as the MAIN outputs (except in mono), but it can be globally switched to be tapped off directly before the Cab/ IR block. This way, you can send a cab-emulated signal to your mixer (or FRFR speaker) while simultaneously sending a non-cab-emulated signal to your guitar amp.

21. PHONES Connect stereo headphones here; turn the VOLUME knob to adjust volume.

IMPORTANT! Always turn the VOLUME knob down before connecting headphones. Protect your hearing!

22. USB POD Go also functions as a multichannel, 24-bit audio interface for Mac and Windows computers, with DI, re-amping, and MIDI functionality built in. Use of a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port is required—do not use an external USB hub. POD Go can also record to an Apple iPad or iPhone mobile device (with optional Apple Camera Connection Kit).

23. DC In Line 6 recommends using only the supplied DC-3h power supply. The provided AC adapter serves as the disconnect device.

24. Power Switch When’s the last time a floor-based POD had a power switch? A long time. You’re welcome.

Quick Start

Hooking It All Up

There are many ways to connect POD Go to other gear, and the following pages illustrate only a few.

POD Go with an Amp and/or Powered Speakers

Depending on how complex your tones are, POD Go may be able to act as your entire processing rig, providing amp modeling, cab modeling or cab IRs (Impulse

Responses), effects, looping, and even a tuner.

When connecting POD Go to a powered speaker (or two powered speakers in stereo), set the main outputs to line level. See “Global Settings > Ins/Outs”.

You can connect an additional expression pedal or momentary footswitch—or with a Y cable, two momentary type footswitches—to the POD Go EXP 2 | FS 7/8 jack.

TIP: The Line 6 Powercab® and Powercab Plus active guitar speaker systems are specifically designed for use with today’s modelers—­and excellent for use with your POD Go! Please see line6.com/powercab for details.

POD Go in the Studio

POD Go also includes a multichannel USB audio/MIDI interface for your production studio. It can re-amp, or use USB audio streams to process tracks or busses in your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) after they’re recorded. See “USB Audio/MIDI” for more information.

	USB	MAIN

POD Go in 4-Cable Method

“4-Cable Method” is a popular and flexible way of hooking things up, allowing you to route some effects blocks (most often drives, distortions, wahs, and compressors) before your real amp’s preamp and other effects blocks (often time-based effects like delays and reverbs) in its effects loop.

Pop quiz: How many cables should be used in a 4-Cable Method setup? With POD Go Wireless, three! #yougetnopoints

IMPORTANT! Make sure you add a Send/Return > Mono FX Loop block at the point in your signal flow where you wish your external amp’s preamp to be. And don’t forget to bypass the POD Go Amp/Preamp and Cab/IR blocks!

TIP: 4-Cable Method really shines when you assign the FX Loop block (active) and Preamp block (bypassed) to the same footswitch. Press the switch to instantly toggle between your external amp’s preamp section and any modeled

preamp in POD Go.

Wireless Setup

POD Go Wireless has a built-in Relay® wireless receiver and includes a Relay G10TII wireless transmitter, so you can play untethered.

1.Anytime you bring POD Go Wireless into a new room or building, always connect the G10T transmitter to POD Go’s GUITAR IN jack.

POD Go Wireless scans the environment to choose the optimal wireless channel and frequency.

2. Wait 10 to 15 seconds.

Think about how cool it’s gonna be to never trip over your guitar cable and land face first into your dog’s food bowl. Again.

3.Remove the transmitter from POD Go Wireless and connect it to your guitar’s output.

The G10TII’s battery lasts for 7 hours of playing time or about a month when inserted into the rear panel storage well.

4.Select the Input block on your POD Go Wireless device, press the lower knob, and choose either the “Guitar+Wireless” or “Wireless” as your input source.

For best wireless performance, try to maintain line-of-sight between the G10T wireless transmitter and the antenna above the expression pedal. POD Go wireless has a line-of-sight range of up to 100 feet (30 meters).

Facing away from POD Go Wireless can sometimes affect wireless performance, as your body can interfere with wireless signals.

Also avoid covering the antenna with cables, other pedals, or small woodland creatures.

Maintain a	safe distance
(at least 10 feet/3 meters,
but preferably more) from
2.4GHz WiFi routers. If a
WiFi router must be in your
performance	enviroment,

switch it to operate at 5GHz, if possible.

Transmitter Battery and Signal Indicators

At the top left of the LCD screen, POD Go Wireless always displays two icons: the Battery Life indicator and either the RF Quality indicator, or the Charging or Syncing icon, as pictured and described below.

The first time POD Go Wireless is powered on, the battery outline is empty and the RF bars display as dimmed, indicating no transmitter can be found (see No Tx Found below).

1. Connect G10T to POD Go Wireless’ GUITAR IN jack.

Syncing	Charging Fully Charged

While the transmitter is syncing, a sync icon is displayed (see Syncing above).

Once syncing is complete, while the transmitter is connected to the GUITAR IN jack, a blue charging icon is displayed (see Charging above).

When fully charged, the battery icon is displayed with all three bars bright green (see Fully Charged above).

NOTE: Any time you move POD Go Wireless into a new environment, connect the G10T to its GUITAR IN jack to perform a sync. Sync scans the frequency spectrum and automatically chooses the optimal wireless channel. You may also manually select the wireless channel from the Global Settings > Wireless menu.

2.Once sufficiently charged, remove the transmitter from the GUITAR IN jack and connect to your guitar’s output.

POD Go Wireless continues to show the transmitter battery life indicator as well as a 3-bar RF signal strength indicator to its right. When no active transmitter is detected, an “empty” battery and dim RF bars are shown (see No Tx Found below). The remaining battery time and RF signal strength values are indicated as described below.

	3 hours-	1.5 hours-	30 mins-
> 4.5 hours	4.5 hours	3 hours	1.5 hours < 30 mins. No Tx Found
RF High	RF Medium	RF Low	No Tx Found

IMPORTANT! If you turn off POD Go Wireless while the G10T is in the Guitar/

Charge port, it will remain in sleep mode and slowly lose charge over a week or so. Not a problem if you play POD Go Wireless every day, but a huge bummer when you come back from vacation (which is why you should bring POD Go Wireless on vacation with you!). While in the storage well, the G10T may retain its charge for a month or more, so it’s ready to go when you are.

9

IMPORTANT! The G10T transmitter’s LED lights green when powered on and the battery has more than 30 minutes left. If the battery has less than 30 minutes left, the LED flashes red.

To extend battery life, sleep mode is activated after a period of 4 minutes where no audio input is detected. The transmitter “wakes up” when the instrument is played.

Using Multiple POD Go Wireless Systems

Up to four POD Go Wireless and/or standalone Line 6 Relay wireless systems can be used on the same stage. However, care should be taken to ensure all systems are set up properly:

1.For the first system, connect the G10T transmitter to the POD

Go Wireless GUITAR IN jack and wait 10 to 15 seconds.

Make sure the transmitter’s LED lights green.

2.Connect the transmitter to your guitar’s output.

3.Before the first transmitter goes to sleep (after 4 minutes of no audio input), repeat the above steps 1 and 2 for any additional POD Go Wireless systems.

Each system’s scanning procedure works around other active wireless channels to help ensure high quality performance for all systems.

10

Play View

POD Go has two main views—Play view and Edit view. Play view is typically used when performing or jamming.

1. Press VIEW to select Play view.

The current preset number and name appear along the top of the display and the current footswitch mode’s assignments appear on the lower half:

2.Press the MODE footswitch to toggle between Stomp and

Preset footswitch modes (see below).

Selecting Blocks/Adjusting Parameters

1. While in Edit view, turn the Upper Knob to select blocks.

Alternatively, press a Stomp mode footswitch to automatically select the block

assigned to it. The assigned block is bypassed (or if already bypassed, enabled) and its parameters appear along the bottom of the screen.

2. Press the Upper Knob to toggle the block on and off.

Bypassed blocks appear semi-transparent.

3. Turn Knobs 1-5 below the screen.

Some blocks have more than one page of parameters, in which case dots on the right side of the inspector indicate the current page. For example, the dots below indicate that page 1 parameters are visible (the colored dot) and a total of three pages of parameters are available:

SHORTCUT: For most time-based parameters such as delay time or modulation speed, press the knob to toggle between setting the value in ms or Hz and note divisions (1/4-note, dotted 1/8-note, etc.).

Choosing a Block’s Model

1.If not already there, press VIEW to select Edit view.

2.Turn the Upper Knob to select the desired block, then turn the Lower Knob to change its model.

Selecting models within the same category can be very quick. However, as POD Go has hundreds of items to choose from, using this method to, say, change an effect block from a Distortion (beginning of the list) into a Looper (end of the list) is very slow. Instead, you should open the model list:

3. Press the Lower Knob to open the model list:

None Distort Dyn EQ Mod Delay Reverb Pitch Filter Looper

Multitap 6

Ping Pong

Sweep Echo

Ducked Delay

Reverse Delay

Turn the Upper Knob to select model categories (if applicable).

Effects blocks have nine categories to choose from. The Amp/Preamp and Cab/IR blocks have two. The Preset EQ block lets you choose from up to seven different

EQs.

Turn the Lower Knob to scroll items in the list.

IMPORTANT! If you encounter items in the list that are grayed out or unavailable, this means there isn’t enough DSP to accommodate that category or model. For example, if you’ve already added three reverbs, you probably won’t be able to add a fourth.

4.To close the model list, press the Lower Knob again (or press to cancel).

Moving Blocks

1.If not already there, press VIEW to select Edit view.

2.Turn the Upper Knob to select any block (other than Input or

Output) and press ACTION.

The block appears “picked up” and the action panel appears.
