Hey rowbi

Thanks for answering my dumb question. Too bad the POD HD hasn't got a model for the digitech whammy although theres enough there to keep me busy. Good info thanks again.

CONNECTING OTHER EFFECTS PEDALS to POD HD desktop and KB37 studio

support@line6.com — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 02:35:10 GMT

Probably a stupid question but just checking. Can you plug other guitar pedals into the POD HD desktop? I want to plug a digitech whammy pitch bender pedal into the POD.

Also can you plug guitar pedals into the KB37 STUDIO again I want to use the digitech with this. I imagine I can but I just want to check before doing so. I know the kb37 has a pitch bend wheel. Could I program this to work on the FBV MKII longboard and control the pitch bend with the FBV pedal

Thanks

Stu

Hey jim

Great feedback.

I'll try these options if possible. My POD is a HD desktop.

I agree that the bad pickup statement is shaky.

Thanks alot for the response

Cheers

Stu

Hi David

I get feedback when playing through a BOSS BR1600CD multitrack notably on heavier effects etc.

When I run it through a marshall amp with no overdrive its ok.

I contacted the maker of my guitar and here is their response.

Plugging directly into a POD will hum every time with a CC acoustic/electric, our pick up signal is too strong for them. PODs are designed to alter sound and make bad pick ups sound good. If you plug your CC into a PA or powered speaker, as it was designed for, and then run that into the POD it should be fine, or you could get an impedance box, makes the signal weaker, in between the CC and POD. Being that it is an acoustic instrument you will have feedback issues with high gain and heavy distortion effects, you could put a feedback buster in and that should help. I assure you there is nothing wrong with the guitar, it just wasn’t designed to be used as an electric. I do use some effects on mine live in different situations, but I use only Boss OD-2 overdrive and a crybaby wah as they seem to not feedback anywhere near as much as amp modelling, multi effects units.

I might try the impedance box or feedback buster. However I agree with them that the acoustic wasn't designed to be played like an electric.

Thanks for your reply

thanks realzap for the reply

is pod studio KB37 compatible with reason 6

support@line6.com — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 04:33:01 GMT

Can I record guitar keyboard etc using the POD STUDIO KB37 directly into reason 6 and can POD HD be used as my interface for reason 6?

Also can POD FARM 2.5 and other plug ins such as abbey road etc be used in reason 6?

Thanks

Stu

Hey nick

Thanks for the reply.

When I play my strat through the pod and it sounds fine however when i plug in my acoustic theres some crazy squealing sounds, hum and feedback notably on the heavier amps and effects. I'm wondering if its simply the battery for my pickup going flat or maybe the pickup itself is faulty. My acoustic is a Cole Clark with a dual input Piezo type pickup that is positioned under the saddle.

Does this type of acoustic pickup or acoustic electric guitars in general amplify humming when playing on hard rock or metal presets etc, or should the sound quality be just like the strat? Even some of the acoustic presets in the pod produce hum when i use the acoustic.

Thanks

Stu

also can I add a ground loop isolator to the pod hd to reduce the hum
