Welcome to get offset. My name is Emily and I have the pod go by line six. Uh, technically it’s Andrew’s, but he’s letting me film some videos with it. My fender, American professional, two series Jazzmaster and the, uh, dark night finished, which I think is the best of the finishes for the jazz master. Um, so this, this, this thing is a floor multi effect you select, uh, while you create different presets for, um, of sensibly different songs, um, you bank through them.

Let’s just go to the main deal here really quickly. So you have 32 banks and each bank has four slots and, um, you. Add them, you, you edit them to, um, make the sounds that you want out of there. Seemingly billions, at least dozens of amps, uh, cabs or preamps, um, modulation, delay reverb. So many things I’ve already created a couple presets just to test things out.

Um, and, uh, let’s just kind of look at, start. By building a preset. Um, so I’m going to go up here and I’m going to click view the change, the view, and you see all these knobs here. They are all tourney or pushy. You can do both of them, all of them. Um, sometimes the pushing doesn’t do anything. So, uh, you can use this top knob for anything that kind of goes above this line pretty much.

So you’ll move through the different types of effects, the amps, the calves. Um, you have affects before and after, uh, your third, you can add modulation before or after your amp. Um, they’ve clearly set this up so that you are inclined to add it after. Um, but what I’m going to do is I am going to, um, show you a couple of things.

There’s a couple of different volume options as panning volume, where you’ll, you’re supposed to go from left to right. Um, I don’t really, I haven’t really been able to get the left to right thing to work, but I also haven’t tried very much. I just, I just unboxed this space. So we’re just going to go, um, actually to just, um, volume, volume pedal.

Um, if you see something kind of grayed out, you tap it to turn it on. I’m going to turn it the wall back off. Um, and you tapped to, Oh, actually you don’t have to add an effect, but you’d have this bottom guy here to add an effect and it will ask you what type of effect do you want. So let’s start with distortion and then we can,

we can go between the different types.

so once you pick a distortion sound, you like you can. Change the settings. I’m actually going to leave that distortion off just because it’ll be a little bit noisier while I play through. I’m not going to add a second distortion. I am going to play around with the though. So when there’s already something in that slot, you can just twist the knob to get to other things, or you can tap it.

Um, a here you can go between a preamp and natural amp amp. So

I like that. Nice clean sound. Can adjust the drive

and there you can, you might be able to see you might not. Um, there are three dots and that means there’s three pages, which means there’s a lot of settings on this amp that you can change. So that’s stuff to play with. If you click on. These after you’ve adjusted them and you’re like, Oh shoot, what in the world did I do?

Okay. So get back to where the default lives. Cool. So then we can go, we can adjust our cat . I am, uh, or you can load your own impulse responses, um, via the app, the app that comes with. And right now I’m actually plugged into the app because I had to. Make some changes. I had to update the firmware

I liked that way. I like that sound. Um, even the calves have some, um, changes. Like you can change the, um, the microphones. Huh?

You can change the sense.

do a low cut, a high cut and early reflection if you want. Um, and level. So next up. We have our EEQ let’s turn that off.

and you have settings for the frequency, the queue, the game

I’ll play with that on my own time. And then you can add the modulation and things. So I’m going to add a chorus.

I can change a lot of things. You can even change the mode between, um, depths.

you can change the wave shape.

It’s pretty cool. I’ll stick with triangle. Um, I’m going to add a delay also. Let’s see what the ping pong delay sounds like.

look at one of my settings where you’re I’m I’m not hearing a real serious spread and that has to be something I’m doing wrong is my guess.

there’s a sense here. The spreads at max,

pretty nice though.

And you can turn trails on or off. I know you praise and worship. People love that. Um, and. That is the basic stuff. Um, you click both of these at the same time to save the preset and then you name the preset. You can see in this, you select the place. So I don’t want to override an existing preset. I want to create a new preset.

I’m just having a little bit of trouble finding the, uh, Steve Pugh. I like that. I think that’d be. So then you move letters over and, uh, I want to delete that character and call it the Pew reset, because that just sounds little bit funny to me and we’re gonna hit save and, uh, to get back to that view that we had just been looking at earlier, I would hit.

View again, and I can cycle through my different presets and

and what did I just do? I clicked the mode to get to the mode you’re going to use when you use this onstage. Uh, This is the mode. I was just, I I’m blanking on names. Y’all I’ve, I’ve actually been working on this demo a couple of times I had to redo it because I had to update my firmware and then I had to do a factory reset.

Like, I don’t know what happened, but something happened. So then, um, you can see visually, each effect up to six are, um, saved, invisible up here and, uh, you click them. On or off and they light up or they go dark. So we have our ECU are. Why is that a motto affects loop? I wonder. Um, and we can you see God, there’s just so much to get there.

I don’t know what to go through. So right now I have my parametric. EEQ my bucket brigade delay, my glitz reverb on. And, uh, you can see probably at the bottom there, there are some notes you see, time and feedback scale, so you can adjust these things on the fly. This green. So we know that it’s attached to the delay.

Uh, yeah. You can turn your distortions on.

go back to mode to go to the preset I just made because why wouldn’t I want to use it after I made it.

I hit the wrong thing. Uh huh. Uh huh. Uh huh. Uh huh. Yeah. You can adjust the next, probably want to keep it a little bit lower time feedback,

scale, lots of fun stuff. No pain. Oh, and you can do the page. So I did turn the trails on to this one. So you can hear them nice. Oh, that’s cool. I’m glad it’s finally working for me. I filmed a 30 minute video and every time I saved any preset, firstly, it didn’t, it seems like it didn’t come with any factory predecessors.

I thought was a little bit weird. I think you’d like, you’d give people some building blocks, you know? Um, but I didn’t really think anything of it. And then I tried to create a patch and it saved every preset slot. And then I just did a factory reset. I held down, I w I held down the C and the D while I was powering on and that fixed it.

Uh, yeah. So, um, that is the quick look at me and making my first successful patch on the pod ago. Um, I made the two other patches on the app. The app is really. Can I turn that one down? Yep. The app is actually really, really cool because, um, you can see what, like, they give you a little visualization of what it looks like, which reminds me of when you, um, build or use a preset on the iPhone app for the fender, the fender.

Mustang GTX 100, the app gives you a little because they all have like a little graphic because they all have weird names and sometimes you don’t really know what it is. And then you look at, and you’re like, yep, that’s a tube screamer. I get it. Cool. Neat. Um, yeah. So I am going to be doing a few other videos with this.

Let’s see what else I planned on doing? Uh I’m. Yeah. I’m going to do some videos where I kind of just cycle through some of the different settings, um, to give you a better idea of. Just the Sonic range of this machine. It is a gargantuan Sonic range, and I’m going to release those probably one a week. Uh, get this to get back to Andrew eventually, I guess.

But, uh, if you plan on buying one of these, please use our at least, um, consider using our river of affiliate link. It is in the, in the video description. Um, Oh yeah. And if you make music and you want to put it on the internet, use distro kid, you save 7% off our first year of district kid in the video description, which is probably down there most likely underneath me.

And, uh, we, we need a little kick back and we get a kickback from the reverb.com thing, but it doesn’t cost you anything extra. Um, but yeah, please like subscribe comment below. Thanks for watching. Thanks for understanding until next time. My name is Emily goodbye. Oh, and if you, if you know why I don’t seem to be getting a stereo spread, please let me know.

I’m very confused and I can’t find anyone else who’s having this problem. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Goodbye.
