So I took the POD Go to a gig last night. All in all, very successful, but not without a hiccup or two.
The Good:
1. Sounded great. I have two main "Classic Rock" settings - a Soldano SLO 100 Crunch channel and a Marshall JCM800. Both with OD's pushing the front.
2. The Pedal mode worked great. I was able to arrange my usual batter of my favorites Delay, Chorus, and Reverb settings for easy access. Color scheme is a great thing; Green = delay, Orange is reverb, etc...
3. Lead boost - I used a graphic EQ with a +4db increase and the rest flat. I may tweak frequencies a little later.
4. Set up was super easy, everything fast and clean. I used my wedge for a test until PA guy showed up.
5. Liked the Wah available all the time. Didn't use volume, but might in the future. Could set the volume for a min/max for leads also...
The OK:
1. The Wah on/off thing was a little kinky for me. Had a couple situations where I was playing with the Wah on toe down that I didn't want. Noticed quickly, and was able just step and be back to to correct. I'll lean to look for that / Wah off quickly.
2. I still used my Digitech Pitchfork and EHX9...might be better sounds somewhere or ways to lower 1/2 step or make synth noises, but I haven't found them yet.
The Bad:
1. I hit an "unassigned loop" button and killed my sound because loop went "nowhere." It was not a bad show deal, since me and other guitar player doing the same thing. I may just need to reassign, or watch that now that I know it can happen.
Here was the "Main" thing I didn't like. When going from bank to bank....
a) Press bank up (or down)
b) The four visible patch names in the new bank start flashing
- You haven't changed sounds yet, until you select one.
The text is small, and it flashes. This made it really hard to see what the four presets were. Now, since I had three that handled 90%, and a couple of specific ones, it wasn't too hard to get around. Still nice clean readout names would be nice. Maybe I can change that, but as of now...I don't know how.
All in all, very satisfied,
