Alright, I might settle for Analog Flanger after mixer in this case, but this info might definitely come in handy in the future. Thanks for help guys :)

Oh wow, I had no idea about the delay. Is there a list anywhere with effects' aproximated delays or is it more of a dynamic thing dependant on effect's settings? Any suggestions on tone-neutral options to add to path B that would help equalize the delay?

So I have read a little about pod routing and I just wanted to make sure I am getting this right. My setup is POD into 2 monitor speakers and inputs set to guitar/variax. First question is - are these mixer settings virtually the same if I'm not putting anything into Channels A/B? (by a quick patch test it would seem so to me) And the second one is - if I want to control mix of AC Flanger, which doesn't have it by default, is this a good way to go about it? Put into channel A as seen above + mixer CENTER/CENTER approach and then gradually unmute PATH A in order to get the mix and identical sound in both speakers? And also in general if I want the same sound from both speakers and I put something in one of the channels, then centered pans are the way to go, right? Cause from what I've understood, left side of path A signal will go to speaker L, and right one to speaker R, same thing for path B. Is that correct?

Hello. It's gonna be a long post, appreciate if u read through. Let me start by saying that I'm a begginer guitarist, so my knowledge is slim; started ~4 months ago. After some time with a crappy 3/4 sized old classic guitar I got a proper electric one for my birthday and began playing with Rocksmith, wchich makes learning proccess much more enjoyable. Sadly I get a lot of noise to my guitar sound from my onboard sound card, spent a lot time trying to find any fix, nothing to be done sadly. So I decided that to get a multieffect and start getting the hang of how things are done and set the sound by myself. Just bought the pod HD500x. Ofcourse, as everything in my life lately - it doesn't work as expected at all. So the thing is - If I pluck more than one string at the time, depending on preset, I get clipping and/or distorted sound. Even the cleans. I noticed earlier that my guitar would clip a little even in Rocksmith when plucking the 2-3 heavier strings together on higher frets (12+) with some more strenght put into it. My guitar is an Epiphone prophecy em2 custom-ex. As said before - got it as a gift, asked for Vintage V100 but "the buyers" didn't fully trust my ability to judge used guitars yet. They have a friend in radio that knows a lot of people and she got a guitar directly from guitarist of one of the biggest rock-ish bands in my country. It's guitar that his son used to play so it's pretty used up, but as it is from a pro, he probably tested it right and it worked fine. It had strings replaced and been set up by a luthier for me. The cable for the battery was in a bad shape (this guitar has active pickups, called EpiActive - basically EMG's i think) so I replaced it, got a new battery too. Now I can't tell what is the exact cause of what's happenig with the sound on the POD. Looked through many topics. I switched input 2 to Variax, guitar in to PAD. Output to studio/direct and guitar in-Z to auto. I'm running through speakers connected with 1/4 to 3/4 adapter. There is a pull/pull option with my volume knob on the guitar to switch pickups to passive mode. They don't sound too great that way, and the clipping is smaller but still existent if I pluck a little stronger. The higher I turn the volume/tone on guitar, the more clipping and distortion I get. I'm sorry for not attaching examples but I'm really tired of this crap now. Assuming we can't find a quick fix (doubt that -.-) I'll get you some in a few days. Tried connecting Rocksmith cable through FX SEND and setting return and mix to 0%, cause I heard of a guy does that and that it works for him. When doing that, in addition to guitar sound I get high pitched persistent sound (both from the game) when doing that, kinda like a groundloop I guess. Also, there is a lot of gaps in volume levels of presets, but that is a thing with the unit as I heard. Why can't a one damn thing be simple :/. Sorry for a long post and my english, which is not my native language.
