Yes. It's the Elektrik.

Re: HD500 FX Loop ... level drop or not?

Thanks for that, Phil. I never was good with the maths.

my tests show the FX Loop created a 40 sample or ~42 ms latency in whatever channel it was placed in.

That sounds awfully high.

Thinking about latency in terms that we can quantify: Latency via distance from an amplifier:

Speed of sound in air at roughly 72F = 1131.29 ft/s

If I'm 10 feet from my amp, that translates to 8.8 ms latency. Negligible, probably not able to feel that. Typical use case, right?

What you're saying is that the latency of the effects loop is the equivalent of me being 47.5 feet from my amp??? That's definitely audible, and annoying I might add. You couldn't play that way. And I definitely play using the effects loop 100% wet, so something seems a little off about that result.

You should be able to go into your audio interface settings on your Mac and select the default input on the UX2. I will do that and verify as soon as I get home. Unfortunately, I can only post right now from my work PC. Forum problems.

Confirmed it:

Go to System Preferences -> Line6 Audio/MIDI Devices and then click on the Inputs & Recording tab. You can select the input source from there and then you don't need to run Gearbox or POD Farm to select it. Now, you're probably going to have some monitoring latency if you do that.

Right, the summing makes no difference in overall level in the loop if you run it mono.

The FX Loop now detects if a mono link cable is used and mixes/sums/whatevers to mono. In my case I used a single mono patch cable from Send to Left Return. Karl can confess his own sins.

I used both a mono cable from the send to the return, and a stereo insert cable with stereo from the send into both right and left returns. This does not affect the results.

A lifetime ago I offered up a feature request to allow the loop send to boost as well as cut but I am not overly optimistic that this will find its way into firmware. Que sera.

Something I will certainly lobby for myself. It really should also have a boost like the GT series loop does. Don't know if that's physically possible or not but worth a shot asking for.

Re: POD HD desktop sounds bad (Sample inside)

Yeah, the second one sounds strange. Check your cab selection, and failing that, check the output mode. Maybe it's in something other than Studio/Direct.

Check your input configuration and make sure that the Input 2 Source is set to the same thing as Input 1.
