xxxsoundxxx Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Pod HD desktop 2.32 Regardless of if i have the tuner set to mute or bypass, disengaging the tuner creates a HUGE volume spike if you happen to be putting any signal through your guitar. - Enough to tic the owner of the P.A off and scare the $&!# out of the audience. The workaround is to make damn sure you mute the strings, but any mistake and....POW.......!!! I just know I can't be the only ont that recognizes this it's pretty major!! I did a search and surprisingly came up with nothing. Fixes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Firmware v2.32 specifically addresses this issue. Please confirm that you are running v2.32. If so, try reinstalling the firmware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxxsoundxxx Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 So I'm guessing this has not been fixed then??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I suggest you raise a support ticket to work directly with Line 6 tech support on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmo3 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 This is happening to me too. I think Line 6 expects us to run the POD with the master volume at 12 o'clock or higher. At this volume the "spike" isn't too noticable. However, when running the POD at home going through something like Crate Power Block RCA inputs that don't have their own master volume, the POD is usually only on 1. At this volume, exiting from the tuner can be very loud indeed unless you are careful to mute the strings or turn the guitars volume off. For home use now I am running through the AUX input on an Orange Micro Terror. This is better for me as the amp volume affects the AUX input, so I can run the amp on 1 and the POD at 12 o'clock. No more worries about jumping out of my skin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arislaf Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Count me in too. I was not sure if I had the latest FW. I do. Problem still there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceatl Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 That is weird...I use the HD Desktop almost exclusively regardless of the situation....running direct, amp, amp direct....etc....Right now I am running thru my old Flex3xl and using the XLRs off the Flexy...my tuner never pops... I suppose something I could try and ask....I NEVER access the tuner on the HD iteslf as I am always using a shortboard....Also, my HD Desktop USB is NEVER connected... When you access the tuner, how are you access it? via the HD or a shortboard? Do you ever have your USB hooked up the Edit? (That is not a good idea in a live situation...The application is not stable enough for that IMHO) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmo3 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I only access it using the shortboard, and I'm not using USB just the 1/4" outputs. The tuner doesn't "pop" but what happens is that for a split second the pod seems to be on full volume. I've found that it's only really noticeable if you run the pod with the master volume down quite low. The difference is volume is then very noticable. The sort of situation where this is an issue is where you have a single channel amp with an effects loop. If you plug the pod into the effects return (i.e. straight to power amp) you are bypassing the amps volume control so the amp is always full volume. You therefore have to rely on the pod's master volume control for your volume. At gig volume the problem is not too bad as the master volume will be a lot higher, but at home when you don't want to run the master volume above 1 or 2 the volume jump when exiting from the tuner can be very loud.
