StaffK Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I 1st started with line 6 Over a decade ago with the XT Live Running through a Randall RH100 head with Marshall JCM800 Lead cab. The rig was loud. I bought the HD500 a couple of years ago and ran it through the RH100 Head & RH100 G2 Heads through Marshall 4x12 again sounded good apart from a bit of digital hiss. I upgraded to the Pod HD Pro X last year and that,s when the problems started. I was advised to buy a power amp to eliminate Pre-amp to Pre-amp interference so that,s what I did. Sold the Randalls (Big Mistake) was told the best to buy was the Rocktron Velocity 300 which it isnt a bad rig apart from theres no guts in it when running the Pro X & there,s a lot of low volume tones which really need boosting. I was going to sell the power amp and buy 2 matching amp heads & cabs to get the sound back I used to have but before I thought I,d run a test. Tonight I ran the old XT Live through the rocktron and had to turn everything down. So the Problem is the Pro X is so Quiet so on the back of the XT theres a line/amp switch with a rear volume pin, is there something like this on the Pro X that i`m missing. I`ve played with the Destination settings wasnt too keen on the studio setting so ran it back to front power amp. So is there a rack booster I can buy to sit between the Power amp & the Pro X. I was going to ask If anyone had any Ideas for best suitable power amp or amp head but more so Whats the best Cab combo out there. I would eventually move upto the Helix but its a long way off. I need to sort the output source 1st. So any advice would be helpful.. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffK Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 Thanks for that Guru. I know about the Line level. I`ll try the EQ at the end of the chain. I used the FX loop and used my Oberheim as an extra filter but may look at some kind of booster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
