Hello,
I want to use the spider to monitor my guitar on stage. The Sound is produced by my POD HD 500.
All I've ever tested runs into a terrible sound with terrbile ambient noises coming from the POD (I hear the "pulse" of the 500's TAP):
connect from phones (stereo) to Spider's guitar in or mp3 in
connect from e.q. left channel 1/4" out to guitar in or mp3 in
Relation guitar sound to noise is about one fifth.Pretty to much.
I' prefer the guitar in because I can adjust bass/middle/treble and loudness using the knobs of the spider.
Connecting to line input of a master mixing console doesn't produce these ambient noises!! Unuseable!
How to combat the noises? The spider stands about 0.5 meters until 3m away - with no ponderable impact.
Does someone use the same configuration: Guitar --> POD HD500 --> Spider IV 15
Regards, fred
