Pod XT volume issue

Bob Grado · From: Holmdel, New Jersey

Yesterday afteroon I played a gig at a club with
a "monster" house PA system. I decided to run direct
from the PODXT to the board utilizing the PODs' (cab/air) feature.

I ran into a problem sending a strong enough output
signal to the board. I had my ouput and channel
volumes set to maximimun and the signal was barely
strong enough. I tried switching to one of the factory presets that came with the pod and the volume nearly tore the roof off the place.. so I know it' not the POD.

My question is : Is there another place in the POD to adjust your preset volume other that the ouput and channel knobs on the fronf of the POD XT ?

Thanks in advance,

You can get major boost of level in the compressor---the soft key, top left, not the stomp box compressors. You don't have to compress---you can just boost gain without any compression. My guess is that right there's the difference between your settings and the loud presets you jumped to.

I've used mine direct, once, and didn't have any problems with my simple preamp/speaker emulation and reverb and delay effects, no compressor.

What program or type of program did you attempt to use?

Hi Bob,
the XT´s manual states that the output level is either +4 dB balanced (tip/ring/sleeve) or -10 dB unbalanced (normal guitar cable tip/sleeve).
This is normal pro audio level and matches any PA-input. (edit:) as you have noticed.
Maybe you should start with a factory preset again and adjust it to your taste. then, while tweaking, you come to the point where the level went down, you´ve got it....

greetings

I sometimes use the POD's "stompbox" set to a Tubescreamer, and there is a volume setting that you can set on that screen.

Maybe you have an effect turned on -- and the volume for that effect is set very low? Just a thought.

Hi Bob
I had a similar problem using clean patches with low drive settings.I had one channel to the board and the other to my amp.output all the way up -channel volume as loud as my amp (or I) could take.PA channel was cranked and was not getting enough signal. The next week I brought a short cable with a 1/4 male and female XLR and used that with a mike cable to the PA.Way more output ro the PA -worked great.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I haven't had the chance to try some of the suggestions offered here but I look forward to doing so this weekend when I get another chance to hoop up to a PA.

All the patches I'm having problems with are the clean ones so I'm hoping my problem is the same one Rich experienced. I use the Line 6 and Jazz Clean amps with the 1x15 cab.

Again, I really apprciate the feedback.
