Problems i had are with Drivers refusing to 'Apply' any Buffering. This results in a sound like its Coughing and Spluttering. No use to me at all. I have got rid of the 2.50 as i am fed up with its constant problems.

Hi here is the solution although it is not a real solution.

Here what I do to get distortion and not dry clearn.

Plug out USB > open pod farm 2.51

It will say no license for pod farm.

Click on License manager button to launch license manager. (do not close pod farm)

(may be wait for licensing PC)

plug in USB

scan devices and wait for licensing.

close pod farm.

re launch. you got the distortion!

But selecting different tones will unconsistantly make distortion disappear again.

Anyway that's the temporary solution if you are only jamming with one tone.
