...Try emailing them (a long distance phone call is out of question!). Maybe if you insist enough they will be desperate enough to answer that question in a meaningful way...

personally I don't feel anymore the need to obtain further confirmations ..

but for those who want to try to get a official explanation, I can suggest them a secret trick:

you want to know how to directly contact who wrote the manual?
Calm down! you are too many! one by one please!

ok, click with the mouse right button on the manual file icon, it opens a menu, choose "properties", click on the tab "PDF",

now you can read the name and email address of the author ..

to be honest, seen how he wrote the manual on this topic, I do not know if he has completely understood the way the things are, I hope so, I think it would be probably more exhaustive to speak to one of the HD programmers.. and unfortunately at the moment I don't have more secret tricks to reach them too..

sorry meambobbo I didn't come here for a long time...

I repeated the test:

sine wave > audio card out > pod blank patch* > audio card in

(* with both mixer channels at unity and pan-centered)

I recorded the same thing two times, one with only input 1 active (input1: guitar; input 2: variax) and one with both inputs set to guitar

then I gave 6dB on my daw to the first one and inverted the polarity:

well... they actually cancel QUITE perfectly; the resultant is a sine with 50dB less than the original,

but I checked the two waveforms which are exactly in phase up to the sample level,

so I think the quite-complete-cancelling could be due to a not-exactly 6dB difference and frankly I can live with that

then I did the same thing introducing a noise gate in the "pre" path with the threshold at 0% and obtained the same result

if you use a distortion with 0% drive it doesn't mean "no distortion" but "minimum distortion (for that pedal)", so halving the signal that you send at its input gives you less overdrive and doubling it gives you more overdrive that's all

BUT, and this is a BIG FAT BUT, I now agree that it's better to use a Guitar/Same input configuration

please read this thread I started:

I do not have the problem but I have the latest firmware installed. Also I actually name a preset. Do not know if that'l make a difference. Hope so for your sake! Cheers

Hi

did anyone notice that Multihead Delays on POD HD are mono?

is that some kind of joke?

******* POD X3 and even XT have multihead stereo delays?

so are multihead delays mono or i am stupid ?

Thanks a lot

Really better

Que raro! La verdad que a mi me a funcionado medianamente bien desde que lo compre ( 2 semanas atras ) . No se puede comparar al 100% con un ampli real , pero hace su trabajo .De todos las simulaciones de amplis del POD HD 500 las que si he encontrado "un poco FUZZIES " es la del JMC 800 Y la del SOLDANO SLO Drive Channel.Pero a pesar de eso , se puede trabajar con eso y con un poco de " tweaking" ya se consigue lo que se esta buscando. Utilizas audifonos o tocas atravez de un ampli?? . Que clase de pickups tiene tu guitarra?? . Pickups baratos , tienden a sonar mal y asi toques con el mejor ampli no vas a conseguir el resultado deseado .Ayudaria si pudieras subir un tono tuyo hecho en tu POD HD 500 al " customtone " para poder ayudarte y tratar de entender lo que pasa. Tambien seria bueno saber que clase de " sonidos" te gustaria crear. Veo que tu Nick es " Eterealmetal " . Supongo que el Metal es lo tuyo. Asi que con el POD HD500 pudes conseguir buenos tonos tipo METAL sin que resulten muy FUZZ o sin definicion. Espero tu respuesta con algo mas de informacion.
