Turn NAM captures into POD Go IRs

Drop in your .nam files. Each one comes out as a small .wav that you import with POD Go Edit like any IR, then pick with the NAM block's Model knob. Everything runs in this page; nothing is uploaded.

Convert

Name each capture the way you want to see it. POD Go Edit names the IR after the file, and only about 20 characters fit, so the converter suggests a short name and counts the characters as you type. Letters, numbers, spaces and - . ( ) + # only.

Pick a slot for each capture now. The slot you type is only a reminder: the file goes into whichever IR slot you drop it on in POD Go Edit. The Model value next to it is what you then set on the NAM block. Use slots 1 to 101; the Model knob cannot reach 102 to 128.

Put a capture on the POD Go

  1. Unzip the download

    Double-click the .zip (Mac or Windows). Each capture is a .wav file named as you set it above. The "NAM " at the start (unless you switched it off) tells you later which IR slots hold captures.

  2. Import it in POD Go Edit

    Open POD Go Edit with the POD Go connected and open its IR list (the impulse responses, beside the preset list). Drag the .wav onto an empty slot, the slot you chose above. POD Go Edit stores the whole file; nothing is cut off.

  3. Choose NAM A2 Lite as the amp

    In a preset, select the amp block and choose NAM A2 Lite. It sits in the amp list where Line 6 Elektrik used to be.

    • On the POD Go's screen it shows as NAM A2 Lite with its own knob names.
    • POD Go Edit still calls it "Line 6 Elektrik" and shows Elektrik's knob names. That's cosmetic: use the table below to know which is which.
  4. Set Model to the slot

    Turn Model (Elektrik's Master) to the value shown for your slot: the slot number minus one, divided by ten. Slot 4 is 0.3, slot 12 is 1.1. A slot with no capture in it keeps the block silent.

  5. Turn the cab block off

    Most captures already include the speaker cab (look for "CAB" in the name). With the cab block on as well, you'd hear two cabs. For a capture made without a cab ("DI" or "amp only"), keep a cab or IR block on.

  6. Set the level and play

    Input at 5.0 drives the capture as it was recorded. If a drive capture breaks up too little or too much, nudge Input: each 0.1 is 0.4 dB. Output sets the block's volume; captures that say how loud they are come out at about the same level.

What this mod is

What it does

It adds a Neural Amp Modeler block to the POD Go. NAM captures are AI models of real amps and pedals, made by players and shared on sites like TONE3000. This build runs the small "A2 Lite" size of model on the POD Go's own DSP, as an amp block, with the cab usually baked in. Normal amps, cabs, effects and IRs all keep working.

How it works

The POD Go can't load new files of its own kind, but it can store IRs. So each capture is packed into an IR-sized file: the converter writes the model's numbers into it, and the NAM block reads them back from the slot the Model knob picks. Played through the cab block, that file would sound like harsh noise, so keep captures and real IRs in separate slots.

What it costs

NAM takes about 28% of the POD Go's DSP, so the unit counts it as 2,850 of its 9,000 budget units, more than the amp it replaces. Drive before it and delay and reverb after it fit easily. POD Go Edit's DSP meter still uses Elektrik's lower figure; the unit's own limit is the real one.

If something goes wrong

Hold Page > while powering on to enter update mode, then install the stock 2.50 firmware with Line 6 Updater. The mod never touches the bootloader, so this always works. Your presets and IRs stay.
