I've been thrilled with my POD HD500x since buying it back in February. I use it mostly to record, with full amp models in all their glory, but I also use the 4CM with my Marshall amp, and if I don't want to lug the Marshall to practice I'll go direct into the PA with the amp models.
I've noticed that sometimes the POD sounds like someone has thrown a towel over the speaker. Out of nowhere it just loses all clarity. It has happened both going direct into the PA and with the 4CM. Sometimes I switch patches and the clarity is back, other times I have to reboot the POD and it's all ok, and still other times I have to do both of those things multiple times until the problem corrects itself.
Has anyone else had this problem? At first I only noticed it when I was using the 4CM, but now it is happening when I'm going into the PA also. Any ideas what it could be?
I have updated to the new firmware, but I think this happened before that. I honestly can't remember how long ago I updated, but I'm 99% sure I had this problem back in early March.
