I wanted to track two guitars with the following dual tone configuration.
Guitar one to guitar input processed with tone one routed to direct out left.
Guitar two to aux input processed with tone two routed to direct out right.
Both guitars with a high gain distortion sound.
I noticed an extreme cross modulation from the processed signal of tone one into the aux in channel every time a jack connector is put in to the aux input.
First I though it might be a misfunction of my device but I ran the same setup with the devices of one of my collegues and there was the same effect.
I guess this cannot be normal.
So what can I do to prevent such cross modulations?
Thanks for help!
There was a thread about a similar issue a while back, you can't pan one of your tones all the way to the left or right. What I found on mine was if I panned a tone to the extreme left I still heard it ever so slightly in the right channel but if I backed of the pan about 3 clicks it went away. The person who started the thread didn't have such luck, his unit simply would not pan all the way, but it's worth a try, pan all the way and then back off a few clicks.
Thanks for the fast reply.
Sounds interesting.
I'll give it a try and tell you about it.
joezee,
Please give Tim's suggestion a try to see if it will work in this manner. Let us know if you continue to have issues.

Hi everybody,
sorry for answering that late but it took some time testing around with some configurations.
But finally here are my results.
I tried Tim's suggestion backing off the panning a few clicks but it doesn't work in this case.
In fact, regardless to the degree of distortion or gain the signal of tone 2 is processed with, with the setup I mentioned above everytime there is this cross modulation to the aux in. It's just that the higher the gain or distortion of tone 2 the more it gets amplified and therefore audible.
But while testing other configurations I found out something interesting.
This time I routed the aux in channel to the tone 1 processor and the guitar in to the tone 2 processor again with a full panning left and right.
First I thought I solved the problem because it seemed that the cross modulation disappeared meaning I couldn't hear it with a fairly high degree of gain and distortion on both channels.
So I tried to apply the maximum of gain that is possible on this device by adding a stomp effect like the screamer or classic distortion with its full level of gain and distortion and I noticed that the cross modulation is still there only this time logically on the guitar in channel and with a level that is quite inaudible because it is so low that it gets masked by the noise that is produced by the amplifier model itself.
For future recording sessions I'll use this setup and see if I can live with that.
But however it's not the way it should be and it seems obvious that this is a buggy behavior.
I hope that line6 will take this into account and maybe one day this could be solved with a firmware update.
Thanks for listening.
