travismcgrechan Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Hello. I am having trouble with volume on my pod rig. It's the HD pro > inuke 1000w power amp > line 6 cab. I have a cable from unbalanced output to 1 channel on the power amp. Then from the output to my cab. All the internal volumes have been turned to max but yet, doesn't seem to be loud enough! I can't keep up with my other guitarists tube stack and he's only on 8% volume! And I am 100%! I need help. I have some ideas. Could it be I need to use 2 cables instead of 1? Is the solid state 1000w not powerful enough? Hope you can help. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Do you have the switch near the unbalanced outputs on the back of the unit set to "line" or "amp"? It should be set to "line". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Carvin Solid state amp that I run in MONO bridged, and my CH1 output from the Pod is Mono and I have a cable from here to the Mono channel of the amp and the output is 16 ohm. like you I had low output and the reason was that I had my Pod panned to the wrong output channel. Your Behringer says 8ohm output per ch. brigde, maybe take a look at the Manuel and double check your connections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinoScholz Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 that should be way more than enough power. Is your cab 16 ohms? Running that power amp from one channel (not in stereo i mean) into 16ohms will result in WAY less than 500watts, probably more like 200watts at best - still enough power but not what you signed up for. Can you run in stereo? L/R to power map L/R, then L/R speaker outs to each side of cab? Edit: if the amp is bridged, disregard above - then you've got a one channel amp. Also, gotta ask since you never mentioned - is the master volume on the pod turned up? I run my master around 50%, patches are around 60% channel volume, power amp (mesa 50/50) around 40% - loud as hell. I've use a velocity 100 with similar results too though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travismcgrechan Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 Ok I've panned it, I've tried mono, bridged modes still no difference. My cab is 16 ohms to the right port, 4 ohms to the left port and 8 ohms to both ports (stereo) so would I need 2 cables instead? So from unbalanced to both channels on the power amp then to both ports on the cab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krambay11 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Go into your virtual rig and move the cursor onto the amp, double tap enter to open the parameters, then press right on the directional pad. Here you will find a master control for the amp that is separate to the physical master control nob on the Pod HD. Maybe this secondary master control is low? How is the inuke? I was considering one.
