Morbido

But behind the amp and before the mixer the different eq doesn't distort. So the level is the same as after the mixer. That's what strikes me as wierd.

Thanks for your tips and your reply:) All the eq distorts after the mixer expect maybe the MF eq. Why I choose to write about the vintage eq was that I saw a vid of a guy creating a djent tone with this eq after the mixer. And it didn't distort in that vid. So when I tried it distorted terrible. Even when I lowered the gain and output on the eq :( I will try some more and but in a lot of the vids on youtube the tones sound amazing no matter what effect they use and where they put it. And for me that is not the case.

The mid focus eq is no good to put after the amp. It is a too aggressive mid filter eq that only works in the signal chain before the amp. Especially when creating high gain tones. My pick ups is medium output so the gain comming from them isn't really even enough to push the amp without the tubescreamer or a compressor. So all the distortion issues must be from within the pod hd.

Yes, the input 2 is set to mic. This is a strange feature thou. That the standard setting is set to "same" and acts as a boost with some kind of phase issue.

Thanks for your reply:) If you have the time I would really appreciate if you could just put an eq like the vintage pre eq after a higain amp to se if the your new pod gets distorted :)

Hi there folks! I have been a pod hd bean owner for two years now and I have yet to find my perfect tone due to how easy my unit distorts. When I first bought it I noticed that a lot of people were using different eq modules after the amp block and after the mixer. I Can't do this becaus it will distort in a really ugly way. So I created a lot of my own patches and have been creating some really good sounding tones. But lately I have been watching a lot of people's tutorial vids and if I build my patches the way they do I turn up with wierd sounding tones. I am using a baritone guitar with bare knuckles aftermath and the clean patches sound really clean and clear but if I choose the treadplate amp with no other effect and turn the gain down to zero I get some ugly digital breakup distortion :( and every time I put a eq behind the mixer I get distortion. Before the mixer and before the amp is ok, but not after. No matter how low the volume or gain the amp has. Do I have a bad unit? I did order another unit that is in the mail now (the bean is on sale so I figured I have to try) so that I can compare them two. Any one out there that has had the same problem with their pod hd? Cheers!!
