bayoubill Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I had to replace my PC recently. The usb cable that came with my Pod 500xhd is too short so I bought a 10' printer cable to connect to the new PC. Are the 2 cables the same? Is it OK to use the 10'cable? Thanks for any info!!!

BillBee Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 One way to find out. The longer the run the more the cord will have in resistance but it shouldn't be enough to matter for that short span. If it doesn't work you know what to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoguyy Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 It is a USB cable, right? When you say Printer Cable, my mind envisions a parallel port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayoubill Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 I was thinking about using the 500x for my sound card. I have an Edirol FA-66 firewire that works fine and it's easy to use. I am building a new set up for my DAW new speakers, 2 monitors etc. I don't play out anymore so at the moment the 500x is used for effects as needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
