Line 6 POD GO Wireless
Product information "Line 6 POD GO Wireless"
The Line 6 POD was an absolute sensation when it was introduced in 1998 - the handy, kidney-shaped preamp delivered sensationally authentic amp, speaker and effect simulations for its time. It was never easier to produce good guitar sound live and in the studio. Over the years, there have been several updates and new versions - POD GO represents the current state of POD Evolution. This clearly laid out floor unit offers the best sounds from the Line 6 Staple Helix, M-Series and Legacy pedals. Up to 6 amp and effect modelings can be run simultaneously, as with the Helix, snapshots can be programmed to allow for lag-free, lightning-fast program changes, an IR loader for up to 128 third-party IRs is also on board. The operation is similar to the Helix, even the color-coded footswitches have been adopted. With the integrated expression pedal, any parameter can be changed. If one pedal is not enough - no problem - POD GO offers 2 additional connections for additional expression pedals or foot switches. External effect pedals can be integrated via the FX Loop. With the free POD GO Edit app, programming your own sounds is a breeze.

Line 6. Few names are more associated with modelling and innovative sound design than the Californian soundsmith. The brand took off with the famous little red "bean", the Line 6 Pocket POD, in the early 2000s. Suddenly musicians in the recording studio could access a wide range of amp and effect sounds without having to set up complex rigs and mic them. "Modelling" suddenly entered the mainstream, appeared on almost every studio console and delivered sounds to home headphones. At session the POD series remains a top seller to this day, with each generation — POD 2.0, POD XT, POD HD500 — adding new features like improved sound, many more amp models and hundreds of effects. Current models like the Line 6 POD GO even offer the ability to use multiple rigs simultaneously, letting you play complex sounds with several amps and effects at once.
For professionals, Line 6 expanded its product range in 2015 with Helix, a kind of high-end POD offering endless possibilities to dial in the perfect sound. With professional routing options, displays on the footswitches showing the current setup and what was at the time the most realistic sound in LINE 6's history, the Helix can still be found on stages and in studios around the world. The Helix LT, a reduced model with fewer features, and the HX Stomp, a very compact, more affordable variant, later broadened the Californian's range with stripped-down options for smaller budgets. HX Effects completes the Helix family as a pure effects module without amp sounds and is extremely popular at session!
But at session you'll of course also find the other major pillar of Line 6's range alongside the multi-effect pedals: amplifiers.
Line 6 modelling didn't start in pedal form, but reached musicians first as a kind of all-in-one amp, the AxSYS 212, which contained a wide variety of classic amp sounds from clean to metal. From these roots later came classics like the Line 6 VETTA II, but also an absolute beginner top seller: the Spider! Today the Line 6 Spider V MkII is a true classic among beginner amplifiers and offers great sound for home, music school, rehearsal room or first stages for modest money, regardless of musical style.
Whether modelling amps for electric guitars, multi-effect pedals or now also wireless systems for instruments for cable-free use of your guitar on stage, Line 6 remains a standard for anyone seeking outstanding sound with maximum flexibility.
