I tried this, was a waste of time. You can't estimate how well your tone will cut through the mix just by looking at its loudness on a meter. You have to adjust its volume live while practicing with your band, it's the only way that's worth your time. It's long and tedious, but that's one of the downsides of being able to use a totally different tone for every song.

I strongly advise against planning to use the HD looper in a live situation. It WILL go wrong.

Come on, that's not even remotely good of a photoshop. It's so obvious.

Please explain how you have verified that panning right is not working. E.g. have you tried muting one or the other channel and seeing which side has signal? You need to explain exactly how you are identifying your problem.

Just create a new tone from scratch and use two different amp models.

A global settings reset is recommended everytime you update. It generally leads to issues like these if you don't do it. Actually, I'm not sure why Line 6 doesn't make it mandatory with every update.

I had huge problems with this, playing in a cover band where I was using totally different patches in every song and covered a fairly wide variety of styles. Really the only way is to keep tweaking your volume during practice and making sure everyone else in the band is playing at a consistent volume (do NOT let your bassist mess with the mixing board while you're playing!!! cannot emphasize this enough). I tried putting every patch through a peak meter on my computer and working off that, turned out to be a big failure for aforementioned reasons (differential cutting through etc.). I can't really whine about this because this is the caveat of having the amazing capability to emulate so many different guitar sounds using one machine. It just takes a LOT of dedication to achieve a good result. In the future, I've decided to just come up with a basic set of 5-6 tones and build a go-to effects toolbox so that I can just switch into one of those 6 tones and do the rest in stompbox mode. I guess there's a reason so many professionals just work off a single amp but have a forest of stomboxes at their feet.

I understand this would be a lot of work since you'd have to do every amp model, but could you look at the effect of the master volume DEP on a signal? E.g. frequency profile (warmth?), distortion, compression etc. Also would be cool to see what each microphone model selection does to the frequency profile of the signal (normalize to flatten it out so we can just see the effect of the mic).

This has nothing to do with the Pod HD. Your volume pot on the guitar is not working properly. The reason you only notice it on one patch is probably because that patch has more pre-gain (most likely from the compressor) than others, which brings it out more in the post stage. Think about it, if you think your guitar's volume pot is truly at zero when you turn it all the way down, how could the Pod possibly pick any signal up?

You can put it up on Dropbox and share it. You get 2GB of cloud space free.

Excellent work. Line 6 should be paying you and the other people doing research on their machine.
