indyj_son Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I've saved various patches with different channel volume levels. I noticed when playing out last weekend that I would suddenly lose volume and sparkle in for example patch channel 1C. By switching banks and going back to the channel i was playing on, it seemed to fix it. Has anyone experienced this before? It is quite frustrating especially when you use the unit for gigs. I believe i have the latest firmware. My setup is the PODHD300 in live mode -> LPB-1 boost pedal -> Tech 21 power engine 60. I guess it could be the amp having a problem but I'm thinking it is the PODHD because of the whole switching patches back and forth seems to fix it for a moment.

Mr_Arkadin Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Sometimes it can be as simple as the vibration at gig volumes can move knobs ever-so-slightly - enough to alter the tone. Next time try and see if it looks like the patch has been edited (asterix). One way to stop this is to move all the knobs hard to zero before the gig, which should stop any vibration moving the knobs. Also make sure your volume pedal is calibrated.

OK I have done some messing around and verified this is indeed happening. When I go to the tuner, then back to bank 1 there is a volume and presence loss in all patches. If I switch banks and then go back to bank 1, the volume and presence returns. Also if I power down the unit and back on it seems to have this volume and presence loss until I switch banks and back. I tried reinstalling the 2.01 firmware but the issue still is happening. Anyone have any thoughts? Something else i might check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
