If a company made a one knob modeler without any kind of display and menus or edit, I would be the first one to tweak the fuck out it for three months. And it probably sounds the same regardless where the knob is set. I’d get lost in tweaking anyway.Ah, yes, Fractal. The platform of choice for non-tweakers
It’s a serious… disorder of some kind.

Got a used PG delivered today, was working in the area so i obviously sneaked home for “lunch”.
Great condition it seems. Surprisingly small. I love this footprint, perfect… like a Metro 16. The wrap around metal and weight makes it feel solid, more so than i thought. Display glass seem much better than my Stomp (wich is a type that gets scratched easily). The molded plastic bottom is super cool actually… one wouldnt thought, but its solid and thick. Maybe it could have had the HX type knobs, but these plastic knobs feel alright and the Volume knobs has a very guitar’ish feeling about it.
High level for an entry level unit imo. Ive touched things that cost more but are made very flimsy and cheap.
I’ll have to give it a “go” later when I come home as the payment is locked for the seller (and from me) for 24 hours until I give the purchase an “ok”.

But, Helix also has plastic knobs.

Wow, that is small. I've never seen a Pod Go IRL, and i blindly assumed it was roughly the size of a Helix LT.
Even if you end up using it only for effects (which come from the HX line, and are superb), that's a really good form factor.

Yeah, but they look more “premium”. But these are fine to, and the “Jazz” or “MXR” type of style is nice to grab.
Surely you must have seen a video or something on the size
I knew it wasn’t LT big, but this is a really neat size. I bet it’s exactly the depth as a metro, about as long as a Metro 16. It’s a great size.Like a small effects board… imo I could’ve been that, but then it would have been to close to a HX FX. Now with the fixed type of signal chain design, there’s basically no point in not using the amp and cab. But it does probably do well against any 4 pedals one might choose… heck 4 pedals of good quality quite quickly gets pricier than a PG.

Not a Bogner.
Helix and HX's encoder tops are metal. POD Go's are plastic.

Whaaat?! They always felt like plastic to me, never even thought they'd be something else.
But, come to think of it, it totally makes sense to use premium material for knobs.
Walked right into that one, didn't you

Nothing wrong with physical knobs and encoders. Lots of problems with virtual knobs.Whaaat?! They always felt like plastic to me, never even thought they'd be something else.

PodGo is a very capable device.
I loved the form factor. Perfect size for me. I just kept wanting those extra capabilities of a Helix, so i moved it along. But if they had a Helix in this form factor - I’d sell my HX Stomp XL in a hurry for it.

Even just the temperature of the knobs usually gives it away that they can't be plastic.
