Hooking It All Up
There are many ways to connect POD Go to other gear, and the following pages
illustrate only a few.
POD Go with an Amp and/or Powered Speakers
Depending on how complex your tones are, POD Go may be able to act as your
entire processing rig, providing amp modeling, cab modeling or cab IRs (Impulse
Responses),eects,looping,andevenatuner.
When connecting POD Go to a powered speaker (or two powered speakers in stereo),
set the main outputs to line level. See "Global Settings > Ins/Outs".
