The Line 6 POD Go Wireless equips the wildly popular Helix-family POD Go modeling floorboard with a powerful integrated Relay wireless guitar system to give you complete wireless freedom onstage (up to 100 feet). Just think: with the POD Go Wireless, you're totally (and tonally) untethered from the confines of the cable. The Line 6 POD Go Wireless pairs traditional controls with a large color LCD to let guitar and bass players interact with their virtual amps, stomps, and cabs in new and meaningful ways. Whether you're running live effects into a stage amp, recording and re-amping through modeled amps and cabs, or outputting rich Helix-derived tones directly from the stage to the PA, the POD Go Wireless has you covered. The price and simplicity of the POD Go Wireless tailor this floor processor to players who have been on the fence about diving into the Line 6 ecosystem; despite boasting a premium HX Family sound library — the Blackface, Plexi Lead, Treadplate, and all your favorites are here — there's only a short learning curve standing between the POD Go Wireless and total integration with your rig. Who knows? Once you experience the freedom of gigging out with nothing but the guitar on your back and the Line 6 POD Go Wireless at your feet, you may never drag an amp — or cable — out of your practice space again.
Full disclosure: nobody loves a British stack or TV-Front Tweed more than Music Experience guitarists. But in a performance setting, there are so many factors — room acoustics, microphones, sight lines, atmospheric conditions, and sound personnel — standing between the "sound" of your amp and the way it's heard in a mix. The Line 6 POD Go Wireless eliminates the hassle of loading up and gigging out by giving you stunning re-creations of some truly timeless amp tones. Sag, chime, harmonics, dynamics, crunch — Line 6 has done a great job of capturing the tone and, just as importantly, the feel of playing through these real tube amps. Onboard cabinet models, stompbox effects, and analog/digital outputs equip the POD Go Wireless to be the only piece of gear you record and gig out with, or one of several parts in a live amp chain. Expandable features include a headphone output for silent monitoring, an effects loop for incorporating real-deal effects pedals, and a dry amp output for monitoring through a live amp while sending modeled tones straight to FOH.
The Line 6 Helix floor processors have been a major hit with Music Experience customers, and the industry over, for that matter. Now you can access a heaping helping of these iconic tones without the all-in size and price tag. Inside the POD Go Wireless, you'll find more than 270 Helix and legacy models of your favorite classic amps, stomps, and cabs. These you can mix and match in endless arrangements for dream tones never possible from a traditional rig. All models are designed to sound great in a traditional amps-and-stomps guitar chain or on their own, sent directly to a PA or computer.
As with every latter-day Line 6 floor processor, the POD Go Wireless gives you bulletproof construction, eight tour-grade rugged footswitches, and a cast aluminum expression pedal that's rated to survive life on the road. Yet for all its strength, the POD Go Wireless remains remarkably light and compact — the perfect throw-and-go unit for a backpack or suitcase guitar traveler.
A drawback to lesser floor units is having to squint to see that one line of monochrome text as it flies by between patch changes. But that's not the case with the Line 6 POD Go Wireless. Its full-color screen reads out your full signal chain at a glance, and with a powerful backlight that's easy to read even on a dark and hazy stage.
The POD Go Wireless's integrated expression pedal injects the player's heart and soul into every performance. From volume swells and rotary accelerations to landing the perfect Mick Ronson cocked-wah sound, the expression pedal adds a ton of potential to the POD Go Wireless's powerful amps and effects. And if you're the type of player who wants more expression, then you can always add a second expression pedal (sold separately) down the line for dedicated wah/volume foot control.
Achieving total recall on an analog setup is tough. And even then, all it takes is a thoughtless bandmate grabbing a knob or moving a pedal to completely trash your hours of hard work. Fortunately, the Line 6 POD Go Wireless gives you the tools you need to craft countless guitar rigs and recall them in a flash. The Snapshots feature doesn't just let you pull up tones a song at a time — here you can set verse, chorus, and lead tones and access them on a section-by-section basis, all in real time. Snapshots is just another way in which the Line 6 POD Go Wireless can greatly enhance your performance life.
Floor units like the Line 6 POD Go Wireless excel in the recording environment. There are no amps to set up, no time-consuming mic placement rigamarole — just dial up your favorite sounds and connect to a laptop via USB (cable included). Now you can track guitar parts direct into a DAW session in pristine 24-bit/96kHz stereo quality. Or, for greater expandability, you can track your parts dry and take advantage of the POD Go Wireless's re-amping capabilities for endless tonal variation down the road.
A guitar cab and its speakers account for roughly 33% of a total guitar sound (guitar and pedals plus amp plus cab = sound). Thankfully, the POD Go Wireless gives you room grow. Support for third-party guitar cabinet impulse responses (IRs) means you can drop in all your favorite closed- and open-back cabs with whatever speaker combinations you can imagine. And with the leaps and bounds today's IR manufacturers are making in cab tones, this one feature more or less ensures the Line 6 POD Go Wireless a permanent place in your rig.
One of the key upgrades to the Line 6 POD Go Wireless is its integrated Relay G10S-level digital wireless guitar system. Pop the included 7-hour rechargeable G10TII transmitter into your guitar, set the pairing to "Auto" (or designate a channel), and you're ready to rock. There's no extra gear to buy, nothing to haul in a rack. The POD Go Wireless's receiver is mounted just in front of the expression pedal to give you a clear line of sight — up to 100 feet — between your axe and board. That's a massive range to explore the stage without cables underfoot.
The POD Go Wireless's included Relay G10TII transmitter nets you around seven hours of wireless playtime per charge. The transmitter charges directly from the POD's 1/4" instrument input and docks inside a molded storage well for safe travel. Just plug in the transmitter after soundcheck or top it off the night before, and you've got the juice you need to make it through the gig. Here's what you can expect.
Of course, you can always plug a cable straight from your guitar into the input if you find yourself running short on battery life.
Automatic or manual frequency selection within the POD's Wireless menu gives you plenty of setup options. There you'll also find a signal strength meter and battery level LED to keep you apprised of your runtime at a simple glance.
Instrument cables add an undeniable character to your guitar and bass tone. Fortunately, the POD Go Wireless sports Line 6’s selectable Cable Tone technology, which simulates the subtle tonal effects of a standard 10- or 30-foot cable, giving you the freedom to rock from stage left to stage right — while sounding just like you’re wired. You can also bypass Cable Tone altogether in the POD Go Wireless and experience a totally flat frequency response like nothing never heard through a traditional rig.
The POD® Go guitar processor gets you on the road to ultimate tone via its ultra-portable and lightweight design, simple plug-and-play interface, and best-in-class tones.
Professional-quality amp, cab, and effect models drawn from the celebrated HX family of effects processors ensure best-in-class tone. Third-party speaker cab impulse responses (IRs) can also be loaded, providing nearly unlimited additional options when crafting tones.
A streamlined plug-and-play interface and simple and intuitive workflow make POD Go exceptionally easy to use. Choose, edit, and control sounds using the large color LCD screen, five push encoders, eight footswitches, and a multi-function expression pedal—plus add a second expression pedal or two external footswitches for even more real-time control.
Remarkably light, compact, and portable, the POD Go guitar processor easily fits into any backpack, making it the perfect companion for short tours, fly dates, and rehearsals.
Snapshots enable you to create up to four variations within a single preset and seamlessly transition between them without experiencing audio dropouts and the disruption of delay and reverb trails that normally occurs when switching between presets.
Audio connections include balanced stereo outputs, a duplicate amp out that can be tapped before the Cab/IR block, a stereo effects loop, a headphone jack, and even a USB port for accessing the 4-in/4-out audio interface.
A professional-quality onboard 4x4 24bit/96kHz USB audio interface makes it easy to record directly to your computer. Re-amping tracks is also a breeze, enhanced by the ability to load third-party speaker cabinet IRs.
Third-party speaker cabinet impulse responses (IRs) may be loaded and incorporated into the signal chain of any preset, providing nearly unlimited additional options when crafting tones.
POD Go Edit is a remote editor that brings the same easy-to-use and fast-to-get-around interface of POD Go to your Mac or PC. Edit and manage presets, load impulse responses, export tones to share, and even update the firmware from one convenient app.
