Welcome to POD Go Manual? I dont 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, weve made a series of how-to videos for those of us who cant be bothered to, yknow, read. Go here: line6.com/meet-pod-go

POD Go? POD Go Wireless? Whats 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, theyre pretty much identical. So when you see POD Go in this manual, assume we also mean POD Go Wireless. AnyPODGoWireless-specificcontentwillappear in bluetextwithawirelessicon,likethissentence .

*NOTE: POD Go Wireless also supports the earlier Line 6 Relay G10T transmitter.AG10Ttransmittershouldbeupdatedtothelatestfirmware.

Common Terminology While reading this manual, you may encounter several unfamiliar terms. Its 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,andimpulseresponses. 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,anduptofouradditionaleffectsblocks,allsimultaneously.

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/ Return

The stereo TRS Send and Return jacks are used to insert your favorite stompboxesanywhereinthesignalfloworforconnectingtoyourguitar amp via 4-Cable Method - see FX Loop Settings on page 28.

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 Gos 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 its gonna be to never trip over your guitar cable and land facefirstintoyourdogsfoodbowl.Again.

3. Remove the transmitter from POD Go Wireless and connect it to your guitars output. The G10TIIs 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 affectwirelessperformance, 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. ThefirsttimePODGoWirelessispoweredon,thebatteryoutlineisemptyand 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 guitars 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.

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 its ready to go when you are.

IMPORTANT! The G10T transmitters LED lights green when powered on and the battery has more than 30 minutes left. If the battery has less than 30 minutesleft,theLEDflashesred. Toextendbatterylife,sleepmodeisactivatedafteraperiodof4minuteswhereno 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 transmitters LED lights green.

2. Connect the transmitter to your guitars 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 systems scanning procedure works around other active wireless channels to help ensure high quality performance for all systems.

Common Amp Settings Parameter Description

Master Adjusts the amount of overall amp output level, as well as power amp distortion. This parameter is highly interactive with all other power ampparametersthelowertheMasterisset,thelesseffecttheother controls will have.

Sag LowerSagvaluesofferatighterresponsivenessforfastermetal performances; higher values provide more touch dynamics & sustain forbluesandclassicrockriffs.

Hum Controls how much heater hum and AC ripple interacts with your tone. At higher settings, things get freaky.Ripple

Bias Changes the bias of the power tubes. Lower values achieve a colder ClassABbiasing.Atmaximum,theampisoperatinginClassA.

Bias X 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.

Cab/IR By default, changing an Amp or Preamp model will automatically load a matching model in the Cab block, but this Link Amp/Cab behavior can be changed within the Global Settings > Preferences menu. Impulse Responses are mathematical functions representing the sonic measurements ofspecificaudiosystems (forPODGo,acousticguitarbodyresonanceorspeaker cabinet and microphone combinations). POD Go can load and store up to 128 custom or third-party IRs at a time.
