How to Use The Line 6 Pod Go Looper Demo | The Line 6 Looper

[@davidjoy2951]

Thank you very much for this video..you are the First person [that I've seen ]who actually SHOWS how to use the looper and explains it clearly ...I know it's not very complicated but you have helped a lot of people , including me .Cheers!

[@ThePedalGuy]

Thanks! I'm really glad it helped!

[@pascalhauser]

Agreed! Was testing it at a music store but couldn't figure out where the looper was. A quick search brought me to your video and then I could test it. ;-)

[@fabianvasquezjr8852]

I still haven't figured out my Helix looper, still working on looperboard, looper, I didn't know pod go had a looper. I've got alot to learn, that's why I'm here!

That was awesome. I would even like more info about the looper. I just got the pod go and don’t really know how to use it. Can you do a video about what to hook it up to? Budget friendly options? I am looking at 2 catalysts for stereo as an option. It sounds killer in headphones. Hooked up to an amp, not so much.

Fantastic video! Every time I thought, "But what about this?" you showed how to do it. thanks a bunch!

[@ThePedalGuy]

Glad to help

[@gorimus]

Thanks for the clear demonstration. I think this is might be a bit inconvenient in a live situation as the looper is part of the signal chain digitally. Can you change patches while recording different layers on the looper? I am sure it can be done in stomp mode within a patch by switching on/off individual effects (as in stomp mode). I think Zoom G5n also has a similar setup for looper (kind of a dealbreaker for me) whilst Zoom G6 has a physical switch to activate the looper. I am actively considering this or Zoom G6 or Valeton GP200.

Great demo as always. I have a POD GO wireless (2 days now) can you advise how to connect a digitrio+ to the POD GO directly into AMP. Thanks.

[@ThePedalGuy]

Thanks. It would be similar to this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZqwiqyomcqejZY Even though I use a HR in the video, the connections are essentially the same. Just use the Send/return of the POD Go with the TRIO and you’re all set.

[@RobBaartwijk]

Nice video, very informative. One question : Is there a way to have a click track sound while you record a line? I find it quite hard to time the end of the loop so it will repeat seamlessly.

[@ThePedalGuy]

Not that I recall. Looping in time does take practice

Thanks so much for this video. I'm an older player and never used loops. I love the POD Go but was clueless on how to use the loop effect so I haven't messed with them. I didn't even know what 1SW and 6SW meant LOL! I can't wait to mess around with them. Do you prefer the loop up front before the amp or in the effect loop or does it really matter? Thanks again!

[@ThePedalGuy]

Thanks and I'm glad you got something out of the vid! I would put the looper at the end of the signal chain, as it will capture any FX or Amps in your preset. It's really up to you, but traditionally I place a looper towards the end of the signal chain. Have fun!

You could probably use snapshots for this. Not 100% sure though.

[@elliotcurrie7143]

When (and where in the chain) would you use the mono looper vs stereo? Many solo gigs I do are just one speaker on a stand so to use the stereo outputs and effects would be redundant, right? Everything just gets summed to mono via the mono output on the podGO

Hi! Thanks for your video! I was wondering: did you have an issue with the looper playback volume? The looper playback volume is very low compared to the actual playing. I switched from a full pedalboard with a seperate looper pedal and never had this issue. The playback volume is already at max... seems the POD really cuts down the looper output . It doesn't seem to affect you in your video. Many thanks.

[@teamworkworks.actnow.2689]

how to connect the beat buddy to line 6 pod go? enjoyed the beat buddy bought from you. can you make a video ? thanks

[@ThePedalGuy]

Thanks for the question. It's actually very easy. The outputs of the POD Go will go to the inputs of the BeatBuddy and then from the BeatBuddy to your amp or mixer. The BeatBuddy passes audio through it, so it doesn't alter the POD Go sound. Hope that helps.

Nope. The looper doesn’t run independently from the presets.

[@fibo12358]

hi TPG thx for this, you instruct well :) - question: once you program the Looper, it is a matter of just clicking that one button and it starts? Can you demo how to pwr on your pedal, then quickly do a Loop? considering buying the L6Pgo but do not want Looper to be complicated...

Hey MR Pedal Guy - When using the loopers you turn off various levels of the looper for example when the song changes? Thanks Patrick

[@richarddavidspano9856]

Using the podgo looper can you save a particular loop in a particular presets or is the current loop you created wiped clean when you change presets -I’m thinking save song back track loop with The song loop I want there.and name it.?

[@dankehrig3419]

Can you change snapshots while using the looper?

[@ThePedalGuy]

That should work

[@constitutionalcompliance2509]

Once a loop has been recorded, can the live sound be changed? IE: Play and clean guitar loop, then add overdrive to solo.

[@ThePedalGuy]

It should work if you place the looper at the end of the signal chain, record the clean loop, and then activate your overdrive. That should do it

[@Miki-xh6fb]

So can i put for example the looper in the b position l? And use the other 5 for other effects, like for example I've recorded something clean after the loop, i want to put a bass line over it and then switch to distortion is that possible? Thanks in advance for answering my question.

Not sure what you mean here. I just used a stock preset on the unit so I didn’t do anything else really. Just used it to show how the looper works. Hope that helps.

[@richardbirch5744]

Whilst of course it's good that the Pod Go has a looper, there are some issues. Firstly, it's recording time is very limited and the functionality makes it quite difficult to time things accurately - whilst arguably that's a practice thing, some loopers do give you a countdown timer that makes things a little easier. Secondly, it's not a global feature but is patch specific which is a bit of a shame. This means it's taking up one of your 4 FX user slots, and unless you change to a patch that has the looper set exactly the same, your loop will stop when you switch patches. It really isn't therefore as functional as it could be and its almost as if Line 6 added the looper in as an 'afterthought' just so they could say Pod Go has a looper. However, re the using up of a user FX slot, there are available on KZbin and various Pod Go groups variations to the .pgp patch file (script is written in JSON) that can give you extra slots if you're prepared to sacrifice other slots eg FX loop, EQ etc but only in that patch. I have a 6 slot version that I can use with up to 5 fx plus a looper and that adds a lot more flexibility. (*This is NOT a firmware hack which is very unwise & dangerous, but just changes the JSON script in a single patch file and which doesn't affect any other patches or Pod Go functionality or create any risk to Pod Go - Line 6 are fully aware of these btw!).

[@ThePedalGuy]

Thanks for sharing.

[@dustygrannis3240]

Can you set multiple footswitches as 1 button loopers to have multiple banks to turn on and off like a Boss RC-300?

I believe so as long as you’re using the multifunction looper and not the one switch looper

Hi! Thanks for the video :) just bought my POD GO. Is it possible to setup the looper no matter what effect (from bank storage) I use? Eg. I use 12A effect with looper and I would like to change to 20B. Do I have to setup looper for each one ?

It doesn’t appear that it works like that. You would need to set up a looper per preset.

Just got the go and wandered here for looping lesson. I was able to have the sound I want looped on snapshot 1 of a preset. Then I changed the sound of snapshot 1 on snapshot 3 which is what I wanted to play over the loop. You have to keep the same effects blocks for all 4 snapshots, but you can save different settings and which effects are on and off. I was able to loop the clean intro to Run to you and play the delayed lead with distortion over it.
