Hey guys,
I have a realy strange problem with my HD 500X. I'm using a Jim Root #4 Dark Terror with the pod and connected it over the 4 cable method. I connected it just like in the image below with a Korg tuner between the guitar and the POD:
So far so good! For several days everything went just fine and I even managed to get a realy nice and warm clean sound out of the Dark Terror even if it was digital.
But one day when we practiced I noticed that after 20 minutes the sound was getting muddy, silent or louder for 1 or 2 seco nds, the sound lost gain also for 1 or 2 se conds and than total silence....already checked my Amp at a workshop but everything seems alright! If I plug the Amp withot the 500X then everything works just fine...if i Plug the 500X into the PA than everything is ok but the sound is too quiet to play along with a drumset and if i turn the PA louder than the sound gets too muddy. Well you might say that the ports on the 500X might be broken but here is the strange part:
Last week I plugged the POD like always to the Dark Terror just to try out if it works because while there is life, there is hope right? ;) As I expected nothing happened...what a dissapointment! I turned my Amp into standby mode and took a break. After half an hour or something I turned the switch to 15W as usual and didn't think about the 500X still plugged into the amp. I was realy surprized after I realized that everything worked just like before! I could play for hours wihout any problems. I left everything plugged until next day and it also worked immediately.
Yesterday after the weekend I plugged in my guitar, turned on the POD, switsched the amp to 15W and...nothing! :o Switched amp into standby, waited for 30 minutes...nothing! :( Tried out on our leadguitarrist's amp...nothing! :angry:
I'm realy desperate right now! Are there any suggestions or anyone who has the same problem? I realy like the POD and would like to use it on stage soon but with these issues it is just not possible!
