Line 6 has followed up the release of the HX Stomp XL by unveiling a new-and-improved iteration of the Line 6 POD Go – the POD Go Wireless multi-effects processor.
As the name would suggest, the new unit expands upon the original POD Go by adding a built-in Relay wireless receiver, as well as providing a plug-in-and-play Relay G10TII transmitter, allowing guitarists to ditch the guitar cables.
Similar to previous POD Go products, the POD Go Wireless comes equipped with a user-friendly, intuitive interface and a range of professional-quality amp, cab and effect models.
Drawing from its acclaimed Helix range, the unit offers up a vast array of iconic British and American amp setups, as well as a configurable layout that can be used alongside up to two third-party pedals for further tonal control.
A 4.3" LCD screen, seven push encoders, eight footswitches and colored LED rings are all accommodated in a rugged cast-aluminum housing, which also features balanced stereo outputs, a duplicate amp output and a headphone jack.
Additional functional appointments include a four-channel USB audio interface with reamping capabilities, a mono/stereo effects loop, and Snapshots – a feature that enables users on-demand access to a number of different tones.
Said Eric Klein, Chief Product Design Architect at Line 6, "Given the sound quality, flexibility, ease-of-use, and sheer fun factor of both POD Go and our Relay G10S wireless system, it made perfect sense to marry the two."
