LINE 6 POD GO

- Chris Gill

LINE 6 INTRODUCED modeling to the masses way back in 1998 with the release of the original POD, an affordable desktop unit featuring a variety of amp, effect and speaker cabinet models to provide guitarists with instant access to numerous virtual rigs. Over the next 15 years, Line 6 greatly expanded the POD universe with various desktop, rackmount, and floor units and even the Mobile POD iOS app. However, after the introduction of the POD HD 500X and POD HD Pro X in 2013, Line 6 shifted its focus to the more sophisticated Helix series, and no new POD products were introduced for the next six years.

Now Line 6 has boldly resurrected the POD series with the debut of the POD Go. Like previous POD products, the POD Go is insanely affordable, but like Line 6’s Helix products, it provides state-of-the-art HX family sounds and powerful, convenient features including snapshots and IR loading in a streamlined, portable all-in-one package.
