Thank you very much guys!

Hey guys, Im getting cool sounds in my pod hd500 with Headphones, very clear with a lot of dynamic. Everything is very detailed. But i just cant achieve that great tone through my Active monitors, sounds loud, but all that clear sound with a lot of body disappear, Sounds loud but without any detail. (Cleans and High Gain tones) I will attach a pic of the inputs of my monitors. As you can see, are pretty big (8-inch) and expensive monitors but Im really disappointed because i spent more than 500 dollars (in my country, south america). my pod Hd settings are: -PAD: sounds very nice, i don't have distortion in my cleans -studio/direct -Line My gear: -Schecter Hellraiser C1 Fr with Emg`s There is a way i can achieve good sounds? Please give me a hand :)!, what kind of cables should i use? i have 3 normal mono guitar cables and 2 XLR. I heard about xlr to 1/4, but sounds very complicated. Thank you very much! Pd: excuse my beginner english level

I have a pair of M-Audio BX8D2. The music sounds great, but the pod tone is really weird like i described. Thank you

hey guys! this is my first post in the community, please excuse my poor english. i will try my best: Recently i decided to upgrade my humble "home studio", i used to play a lot with my pod hd500 through my headphones for several months but i just bought a good pair of monitors with a very natural response 2 months ago specially for play guitar at considerable volume and a very clear sound. The tone with my headphones (shure shr820) is good (not great) i can notice the different options of the EQ, but when i play with my monitors my metal/rock tone sounds weird, fizzy, muddy and without "body". Sounds metallic like a cheap pedal. im really dissapointed, because i thought i was going to have killer tone with so much power and cool dynamics in that expensive and really big pair of monitors. i cant see where is the problem. i tried a lot of customTone patches, same problem. My setup: Schecter hellraiser c1 fr ------> Pod hd500 ---(XLR)----> M-Audio BX8D2 Monitor Speaker pair. (they have only 1 level knob) Output: Studio/direct Firmware 2.10: (i reinstalled it a lot of times for see an improved sound) My pod is connected to the monitors with XLR Cables, should i try normal 1/4 cables or 1/4 to xlr? I really like my pod hd500, but it sounds really weird. Thank you!
