Hi everyone,

     I recently got a POD Studio UX2 interface and I cant seem to find the reason for the crappy sound im getting out of it.

     When I plug my guitar directly into the instrument input the built-in level meters are indicating a decent input level but the dry signal is very low and very muddy (+18dB makes it somewhat better but thats not the point), almost no high frequencies and i get a lo-fi, artificial "tinny" sound in general.

     Im using the latest drivers, the latest software, have a decent computer configuration and decent monitors. Im playing through a nice Strat with extremely bright Custom Shop '69 pickups..

     So now when I try to correct this lack of high frequencies in the processed signal with EQs and what not I get a really nasty sound and basically all the distortions and overdrives sound the same...

     I'd really appreaciate it if you could give me a suggestion on what to do in order to fix this problem and luckily get a nice sound from the interface and pod farm's modelling features afterwards

     I recorded a few chords for you to hear what I'm talking about..

     Thanks in advance!
