Yiannis123 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Heya, So I've owened the Pod Xt for more than a couple of years. I mainly use it to practice every once in a while. After not having played for some time I decided to jam a bit. I think the first thing I did was update the firmware to the latest version. That was a while back ago, since I started playing again I noticed that whatever preset I use on my pod the settings seem to change constantly out of the blue. As if the pod is possesed by some entity, I'm playing a specific preset and it keeps changing the amp model or the Eq settings of that specific preset on the fly. I've tried factory reset, re-installing the firmware and model addons that I purchused a long time ago but the problem persists Does it mean that my pod finally gave up on me?

BillBee Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Hey there, I hear you, this happens once in a while with my XTL. With the XT off, try turning all the knobs about 20 times left then right all the way round. Sometimes the knobs get dirt or dust in them and the encoders get a lil jumpy. IMO your XT is possessed by some good tones only :) Hope that helps, Bill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yiannis123 Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 Thanks bud, I'll check if there is a way to open it up, for the moment I sprayed a bit of good old WD-40 and gave all the knobs a twist. It seems to be better now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatchfanNick Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 wd 40 work??? I blew the board off and it initially helped but once it gets warm the sound get a TUBULAR MUFFLED sound like a wah pedal with no treble. my first thought was the pots but I don't want to spray anything conductive on it. if the wd40 worked ill give it a shot.

BillBee Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I use DeOxit for parts cleaning but I have heard of people using WD40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
