Holy hell, you're right I just assumed it's for the line level one which is kinda standard, didn't cross my mind lol

This is regarding a POD Xt Pro. I've searched the manual again and again, I've either missed it or it ain't there but, is the Unprocessed Guitar Out, on the POD Xt Pro a Balanced 1/4 Trs or Unbalanced 1/4 Ts output ?

I hate to be a killjoy but truth be told, you're trying to replicate 80's tones that were recorded on tape and mastered through analog equipment and that's where digital world doesn't cut it. No matter how good a "modeled" amp, stomp, tape saturator or whatever it is, it won't deliver the nuances of electricity passing through capacitors, transformers etc and how they color sound. It can reach a point where it comes close, but never close enough to satisfy. I find myself going back to amps, SM57's and cabs to get real tones, and use digital equipment for fast tracking or projects that are not so demanding when it comes to the sound of the guitar. As for the dude you linked, why don't you message him on youtube ? He might be kind enough to send you the tone on file :)

Yeah Yeah man, I just turn the knobs to zero before I turn on the pod load a preset and just work with the master output and chanel level knobs, it seems to be solving the problem for the time being. I prepare the presets through line 6 edit so all knobs at the top row remain at zero at all times.

Yeah I did, after searching in the forums I've read in some posts that this problem is related to knobs, cleaning them was the first thing I did, twice and as per usual I gently roll the knobs from one end to the other. I've been monitoring my presets ever since I read your reply and zeroed all of them, there's no change happening, so I might have to use another cleaning agent or just replace them and be done with this issue, thx for the tip tho, seems fine so far. :)

Just tried it, seems to have fixed it, I don't see exclamation marks over the presets I'm loading. Do the knobs need replacement ? I've cleaned them twice already :(

Hi, i've recently noticed while having the line 6 edit opened that my presets suddenly have an exclamation mark appear on them out of the blue. I'm using a simple preset with just a Brit-J-800 (no cab, stomps or whatever just the amp) and to my surprise I see the drive knob moving on its own, down from 37% to 21% then back up 1-2% from 21% There's no vibration in the room, I'm using headphones. Checking other presets, they get the exclamation mark as soon as I load them, they get tweaked on their own. I'm using the latest versions of monkey and edit. Saved my custom presets, Rolled back the flash memory, nothing changed. Reinstalled the USB firmware, nothing changed. Pots have been cleaned, re ran to test, nothing changed. Can anyone help with any other suggestion ? Something I've missed ?
