Pod 2.0 auxiliary input mod
MiroslavKloud replied to jegtar's topic in POD 2.0, POD XT, Pocket POD, FloorPODs
Hello, I am writing late, but hopefully it will be helpful for someone. This AUX works only with the headphone output. (It does not work with LINE OUT). OUTPUT LEVEL does not affect the input volume AUX IN. AUX IN jack also functions as a stereo output. If you do not drill a hole in POD 2.0 can alternatively use a MIDI socket (see figure). -
My opinion: 1. Plink is a normal phenomenon occurring on all strings. The most striking is usually on the string A5. Due to the oscillation direction (longitudinally) is not audible with the magnetic pickups. 2. Piezos / bridge on JTV have the ability attenuate this wave. However, this does not work reliably. 3. If this occurs on the string A5 - no trouble - plink is removed in electronics. 4. If this occurs on the string E6, the electronics doing nothing - we have the problem. If is the piezo E6 connected to the A5 input - plink is removed in electronics. If is the piezo A5 connected to the E6 input, it is hear the normal plink of string A5 (not always - sometimes is muted in the piezo).

Inasmuch that flaw was the same, we were not able to make a comparison test to determine the cause (bridge, elektronics). So I showed him the details of the defects and the way I was doing all the measurements. One strangeness - I had earlier on a string A5 strong plink, was measurable at the input the electronics. Now completely disappeared. Addition: His reaction was not significant. He just heard and acknowledged that it is the same problem. We tested the guitars only with POD HD500 + RCF ART 310A. Plink was recognizable even without any editing of sound - no amp model, no effect - only amplification. He promised that will continue negotiations with several people. He is a helpful fellow. I have also currently open support ticket and I can write that I am now slightly optimistic.

Buy a JTV 59?
MiroslavKloud replied to Indianrock2020's topic in James Tyler Variax Guitars / Workbench HD
I play on JTV-59 and Stratocaster. Most of the songs I play on JTV-59, it's a good guitar, but ... If for some reason I take to performances only one guitar, I always will choose the Stratocaster. -
1. It can match the original Variax sound - if the producer devoted sufficient attention to equalization. 2. Piezo will always have worse palm muting and dynamics. This is simply a characteristic attribute of piezo, as well as sensitivity to the longitudinal (transverse?) Waves. 3. 1.9? Yes. Less sharp sound - less pronounced plink.
