Phase option in Vintage preamp , using POD HD with Microphone

Hey guys,

 

I've plugged my AKG D5 dynamic microphone into 500 HD, and i'm trying the basic setup( preamp, reverb,delay) for microphone.

Since I want to be using it for connecting 500HD->mixer->PA for shortly comming jam-kind-of-gig, i want to prepare more less, that it would sound at least not worse than it does pluging microphone into the mixer.

 

Through my decent headphones (AKG K240 studio) i hear a tremendous difference while changing the phase ( 0;180 options) . Now i suppose this difference will be even more audible through PA system.

When i choose the phase ( 0 ) , in comparance to ( 180) i get a sound a bit familiar to wah (less lows;  some of the mids and hi's are up ) . On the other hand ( 180 ) option gives me more low's, and in comparance to (0) the high mids are not that clear. All in all i'd choose 180 option, but i sure love to hear some comments about it.

 

1) Does this phase option affect the polarity/phase for output speakers ( headphones, PAs) in the sense that the sound moving outwards speakers begins to move inwards speakers ( reversed phase) ?

2) How do i know which of the sound is more "correct"?

3) Is the phase option going to affect the chain of fx in phase kind-of-sense?

 

Any comments would be appreciated!
