Hey everyone, I just put this out for free so take a listen if you want. Everything used for instruments was a POD HD500. Let me know what you think, I'd give out some tones if you dig it. Really enjoying everything the POD has done for me so far Paper Cut
i've got a weird phenomena going on. On certain patches, the first fret on my 7th string (In standard or dropped tuning) barely rings at all in a chord, but just fine if I play the same chord just a fret lower or higher. I've made sure my guitar's had a proper setup, and as I said it only happens on certain patches, my djent tone in particular
Any ideas?

So I plugged into a PA last night and it was total fail. Kinna irritated me. Not sure what was wrong. I was in studio/direct mode and tried both XLR Balanced out. Not 100% sure that's where I was supposed to come out of, but I thought it would be.

TBH, I have no idea. I thought they were only enabled on the "Studio/Direct" mode, which is what it was in. Audio was coming out...but it had a lot of static. The ground lift didn't change anything. I tried two cables with no change. It could of been in the channel, honestly I don't know. I'm going to take it to our practice space so I can test on our PA.Did you have cab sims enabled?

All my patches had cabs/mics in the chain. The output mode is set to Studio/Direct. I wonder if something got changed when I plugged up my pedal (FBV Shortboard MKII).Ya its probably like they said, you probably had it in "no cab" mode, that really makes the tone staticy and it sounds like shit if you don't have an actual cabinet.

Here's another one since you didn't answer my first question, are you using the full models or pre only?
Finally got some time away from work to test a few things out.the only thing I can think is either something is wrong with the Pod or the XLR cable or the mixing board or the soundman. All the output jacks should produce the same output. The only difference between 1/4" out and XLR is that XLR never sums to mono whereas 1/4" does if you only connect one of the jacks. I think 1/4" outputs a higher level as well.
As I said, you want MASTER dimed to get the best signal to noise ratio - that should not overload any board unless they try to add phantom power or some other stupidity. A ground loop would produce hum, not static.
I would bring headphones to the gig. Test your tone in headphones (but not with MASTER on 100% or you'll kill your ears). If the tone is right, the Pod is good. Gotta be the cable or board or sound guy (or the Pod's XLR jack).
