POD X3 clipping/no clean sound.

When playing through my pod x3 i cant seem to get a true clean sound. the low e string tends to break up, its fine when playing with distortion because you dont notice it. anyone got any ideas? i tried switching the outputs.

thanks.

  This may be digital clipping.
  
  Do you have active Pick-Ups?
  If there are too hot you may need to back off a tad the giutar's volume.
  
  Is the clip indicator lighting up?
  
  If so, try turning the channel volume down.
