Awwwww Man that really sucks. Sorry to hear it. I suppose everyone kinda dreads this happening at some point in their life. Hope you can get it fixed easily. have you checked for any internal damage? Like burnt components or blown fuses?

You might have better luck posting links using Mozilla/Firefox. I had the same issue a while ago, very frustrating.

Sometimes I use the EHX Tube EQ from the Pod's 1/4" out then to the FX Return of an amp. Most of the time I use the Pod's FX Return for a Drum Machine and the send can go into another amp.

You must be X'perienced Bro. :) Speak'in of Cap's I got a Samsung TV doing the Ol' Clickitty-Do-Da-Day, it's on the blink :blink: Guess I'll be doing some soldering soon. ​

A capacitor can be bad even if it hasn't popped. Probably rare though.

LOL, Thank You, Thank You........takes a humble bow. :)

I can place the amp after the mixer???? LOL Well I'lllllllll Beeeeeeeee. Maybe I tried it years ago and forgot, lol. I learn something new every day. Thanks man! PS: Oh wait I've got the HD500, I gotta check it out. It works YAAAAAYYYYYY!

I'm with the OP. "Tone may or may not be in the fingers, however it's surely in the heart, "butt" one thing I do know, it's not in a fart." "I like my HD500 and all the other Line 6 stuff I've got, am I gonna get rid of it? Definitely not." "I wish I could get a Helix, though I'm short on dough." "Am I happy? Am I not? I'll stick with what I've got."

Your Welcome jbenge08. I understand your concern with issues while performing live. Maybe someone else who actually does this can chime in. I would think if your doing it and experience is showing you it's working you would be fine. "Experience is the Ultimate Knowledge"

Hollis has a great suggestion. I sometimes use the studio EQ after the FX Loop to boost and I can get some good harmonics when I open the highs up to 8000 Hz I don't think you have to up the gain on the highs to get it either. Sometimes I completely open up lows and the highs on the Studio EQ when I run stereo drums into the FX Loop Return placing the FX Loop before the EQ so it's affected thereby allowing me to control it's freq's and levels. You could try placing it at the end of your chain and just upping the gain, try opening up freq's range too to hear what happens. You could also try the Boost Comp or Tube Comp. You could also try the other EQ's. Of Course there are probably other options. Also you check the FX Loop switch setting Line/Stomp and the what id the 1/4 inch outs set at Amp/Line?

I don't see why you couldn't do it. Your already doing it. :) I suppose if you set the headphones on top of the other monitor speaker you could get feedback, not sure about that though.

I was just riffing with skyproclaimsit's patch, the one in the video, and It's kinda cool. I'm going into just my spider jam with the Pod's L mono output into the spiderjams aux input. The Pods mixer is panned hard L & R and when I switch off the noise gate I get a boost and a change in the tone. Neat idea I never really thought about using the noise gate as a boost mechanism, lol.

Check this out. When I had an issue with my DT50HD I contacted Line 6 about finding a place in my area for warranty repair and after trying 3 places that had been reccommended, 1 of them had closed, so I called Line 6 again and spoke to someone else. They told me no on would be able to fix it in my area and that I should send it to them. Which I did and they fixed it. I had one of the early DT50HD's. Man when it works it kicks a$$! Hope you get'er fixed soon. PS: In the beginning of my amp issue, some crackling noise during a few sessions followed by no sound. I thought it was power tubes and/or a fuse. The fuses were good so I did the tube change with the recommended pre amp tubes, power tubes and biased them. It worked for a short time and then ended up intermittently going out with a fading volume drop.

Scratch my first post, BillBee has it right. I just looked at the manual and it looks to me like you either need to buy an actual wah pedal and go into the guitar input or get an FBV Pedal.

He put a noise gate (mono effect) after the mixer which would mono the signal.

There's nothing wrong with learning all the deep parameter stuff, there's a time and a place for it. It's a good idea to read Line 6 manuals, I did this before I got a UX2, X3 Pro and HD500. Between that and reading internet forums and watching a few yoo toobs I had a pretty good idea what I was in for, lol.

I understand and would think most stores would be short on variety these days. Good 2 cents worth. Look for flat, and I think linear is also another way of saying flat.

The 990's description depicts the lack of mids. You didn't try the 770's? some others? How are you trying the headphones, at a store? or are you buying them and returning them.

I use closed back Bose AE's 32 ohm and open backed DT990's 600 ohm. Heck I've even used these Ear Candy 32 ohm ear plugs, couldn't believe how well they sounded.

Sorry to hear about your amps of the past. I think you'll have a blast with HD Pods and might even find it easier than you think. Especially you're an experienced guitarist. I know you asked about amplification for it. I can tell you it sounds really good going into my Spider Jam's Aux input and DT 50's FX Return. I've ran both of these amps L & R and it sounds pretty darn good but I'm not gigging with it. I have my own little party's and run a BeatBuddy into the FX Loop so I get some good drums going. It's amazing how well BeatBuddy sounds out of those 2 amps. I also have a Peavey Valveking II 20 Micro Head and run that with a Jet City JCA20S closed back also use that cab with the Jet City Picovalve which I bought as a set. Like BillBee said you got loads of help here as well as other sources.

Whatever you decide to do I hope you have fun with it as life is too short to screw around with technical issues, lol. Before I watched that video I just used my ears to find what works for me so I'm much like you. If it sounds good it must be good. K.I.S.S. is KEY. Knowing when to stop tweaking and start playing is my first rule. How did you use your combo set up before? A & B'ed or simultaneously or both? BTW, on that dual amp patch I used in my previous post I could not insert a reverb at the end of the chain if I wanted too, ran out of DSP on my HD500. I would probably need to insert an FX Loop in there and set up a pedal board on the side, which is in the works. There will be a learning curve if you decide to learn on your own. The forum and slew of youtube videos out there can speed things up a bit but it's still a steep learning curve for some of us.

Ok this post and video was so good I broke out my 50$ Epiphone Special II and went to it to see what happened when I recorded into my DAW (RiffWorks). I made a patch much like skyprcolaimsit, set up a drum set and did a quick minute. Good one Bill The Riff = https://soundcloud.com/reeleeze/riff-i The patch = http://line6.com/customtone/tone/1649036/ The RiffWorks monitor preset and song file

Thanks for sharing your experience "CF". I was wondering what a "scribble strip" was when I clicked this thread, lol. I would've called a 'footswitch display" hahahah. I like "scribble strip" better, sounds cooler. I hope you all get happy soon. I'm sure Line 6 isn't happy about it either. From experience they helped me quite a bit when I had problems with a DT.

When you finally get this thing and play with it for a while I'm gonna yell YAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! so freakin' loud your going to hear it and I'm 3000 miles away from Ya, lol.

You could save money and get the 770's which would just as good IMO and I have the 990's. I don't know 'bout the AKG's, they're probably good though. Heck, I still use Bose AE headphones 32ohm and they kick too.
