Selecting Models
As mentioned above, select any block within the Signal Flow, and when the Model
Select panel is shown, you’ll see options for selecting the desired category and its list
of models. Click on the desired model to load it in the selected block.

The Model Select panel (Eects type block selected)
What appears in the panel diers per the type of block that is selected within the
Signal Flow, as described below.
Eects type block - The full set of eects categories are displayed (as shown
above). Click on the desired category to see and choose one of the category’s
eects models. Note that you can choose the None category to clear the Eects
block.
Preset EQ, Wah, Volume, or FX Loop type block - Since these blocks include
just the one category, you’ll see no Category selectors —just the block’s available
models.
Amp/Preamp type block - The Amp and Preamp categories are shown, with
their models available within each.
Cab/IR type block - The Cab and IR categories are shown. The Cab category
includes the full list of cab models. The IR category oers a 1024 Sample IR
category, for which you can choose the desired IR le from your Impulses library.
Please see “Loading an IR in an IR Block” on page 10.
Input or Output block is selected - Whether the panel is in Edit or Model Select
view, you’ll always see the edit parameters available within the panel. See the
previous section
DSP Management & Model Availability
Rather than limit you to a lower number of blocks or a reducing audio quality, POD
Go utilizes a dynamic Digital Signal Processor (DSP) management system for model
selection. Some models, such as “jumped” amps and more complex reverb and delay
eects, utilize a greater amount of DSP resources. When conguring a preset with
several heavy DSP usage models, the DSP management system kicks in, allowing you
to still utilize your blocks by disallowing the addition of only the models that exceed
the DSP limit of the preset.
As in your POD Go device’s Model Select menu, when the current preset reaches a
high DSP usage, models that cannot be accommodated become unavailable. In the
POD Go Edit app’s Model Select panel, you’ll see models dimmed to indicate this, as
shown below.
Unavailable models appear dimmed when the preset’s DSP limit is reached
It is also possible to encounter the DSP limit when attempting to load an IR by doing
a double-click upon an IR within the Impulses library (see”Loading an IR in an IR
Block” on page 10 ). When adding an IR to your tone this way where it would
exceed the DSP limit, you’ll be prompted with an alert that the DSP usage of the
current preset does not allow IRs to be loaded.
To free up more DSP resources for the current preset, try changing or removing some
models. The Distortion, Dynamics, EQ, as well as the “Simple” titled eects are typically the
lower DSP usage models. Using one of the Cab models rather than an IR within the Cab/IR
block can reduce DSP usage as well.
