Nake sure your Pocket Pod's output is set to feed Direct (to a P.A. / mixer) rather than to a guitar amp.

To do that, follow these instructions in the manul (page 3.12):

The Amp Out on your Pocket POD can be tuned for optimal performance with a variety of

systems. By default, your Pocket POD expects to be plugged-in to the instrument input of a

combo amp or head with an open-backed cabinet. If you want to plug in to something else,

you’ll want to change the Cabinet Tuning Mode. To do this, do the following:

• Press and hold the Save and Down buttons while plugging in the guitar input.

• After startup, the display will show “Cab Select”.

• The display will show current cabinet tuning selection.

• Press the Up or Down buttons to change selection as follows:

Use Mode... when Pocket POD is... ........& your speaker cabs are...

A................ feeding a power amp input .....closed back (ideal for 4x12 cab)

B ................feeding a power amp input..... open back (ideal for 1x12)

C (default).... feeding an instrument input... open back (ideal for 1x12 or 2x12)

D ................feeding an instrument input ....closed back (ideal for 4x12)

Direct ..........feeding a recording device, mixer, live P.A., etc. .........not connected

• Press Save to store the selection.
