Infusion Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 The signal is so weak. I have to turn the vol and overdrives all the way up to the max, just to hear the guitar. I need advise on boosting the signal. should I install a preamp in the chain. Any suggestions for a better way to record guitar direct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gato Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 I have no answer but more questions. What do you think about the new features: MIDI AUTOMATION I/O, wide range of new amp and speakers models and stomp box modeling ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 What soundcard or audio interface are you using with the Pod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infusion Posted February 27, 2003 Author Share Posted February 27, 2003 To answer your question, I'm not familiar with the Pod's features. I haven't had a chance to "get inside of it". I need to deal with this weak signal first. The chain is RME 9652 digiface, Mytek converters, Nuendo. I have various pres (Phoenix audio, Manley etc.) but, I wasn't expecting to have to use them for Gtr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milobender Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 The first thing I'd check is your cable from the POD to the DAW. How long is it? Is it high grade? Was it working before? I have a J-Station that works great with a short cable... but putting it 15' away, with a 25 foot cable, results in the same problem you are having. Brian Everything I know is wrong.

michael saulnier Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 The POD and PODxt can send plenty of signal for direct recording. That's what they were specifically designed for. I'd consider the other comments that asked you to test the other componants. guitplayer I'm still "guitplayer"!

I have never had this sort of problem, the signal is more than strong enough for most any preamp input or effects rack input. Many of my personal clients with PODs run DITTO boxes for tube warmth, and up to 30db of gain. The DITTO will also allow very long cable runs from an onstage POD to a very remote house board. Using the DITTO between the POD and a guitar amp or board, also warms up the signal quite a bit, as the DITTO is all tubes and transformers. They are also used by a lot of keyboard players. Myles S.

Infusion Posted February 27, 2003 Author Share Posted February 27, 2003 The cables are brand new Mogami shielded. approx 10 ft. the cable integrity is fine. I need more gain. Who makes the Ditto? It'll be a shame if I have to get ANOTHER box to boost the gain...oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip OKeefe Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 I just got a POD XT (and have a J Station and original POD)... and it's my understanding that the XT has both +4 and -10 output level capabilities. If you have it set incorrectly for the computer interface you're using, that could definitely explain your level problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
