Layne09 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Hi everybody, I'd like to buy the POD HD300, but a friend of mine lend me this POD and I have problems related to a weird noise (like a shrill scratch) I hear from time to time when I try to record a track with my electric guitar using the "Studio One 2 x64" computer program. Some time ago, I also tried an old model of POD, and the noise was also there. I have tried to modify the latency, I have used another computer program too, I also try to disable the computer speakers from windows, so I only have the soundcard of the POD on,... but the noise still comes up, so I don't know what to do, cause I'm really interested in this product. Could you help me? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 If you are using a laptop computer, and the noise sounds like an electrical hum, you are probably experiencing a ground loop. To test for this, run the laptop on batteries and disconnect its power supply from the wall. If a ground loop is the problem the noise will disappear.

Layne09 Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 Thanks Uber Guru, but I have run the laptop on batteries disconnecting the power supply, and I still have the noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arislaf Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 1st of all, what guitar you are using?what kind of pickups? 2nd of all, did you try to change cables? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layne09 Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 Hi Arislaf, I'm using a Yamaha Pacifica 611 with Seymour Duncan pickups, and yes, I have changed the cable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arislaf Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Hi layne, i see that your guitar is ot the deal (i have with my guitar the same problem but it is the non hum canceling pickups). Just in case, have you tried another guitar? and to play it in your friends house? if yes any difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layne09 Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 The thing is that the noises are digital noises, clicks, not analogical noises Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
still_fiddlin Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Are you hearing the noises in the POD headphone out when it's set to be both the input and output device for your recording app? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcmexbm Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Sounds to me like you're describing digigtal clipping, which whould mean that the best place to start is to lower the channel volume or the master volume on the Pod and see if that dosent make it stop.

still_fiddlin Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Windows? (If you are using a MacBook, I'll suggest GarageBand.) On Windows, are you connected to a USB port that is attached to the first level USB hub? This shows the connection on my system, where you can see there is a 2nd hub at the same level as my HD400. If you are one more hub removed, that can introduce problems. Also, use Device Manager confirm the driver is the latest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
