Thumping noise from Pocket Pod

[johnfmcnamara]

Just got a Pocket Pod. Put batteries in and plugged it in, but all I hear from the amp is a terrible rapid thumping noise. I tried other amps and cables. Same noise. Please advise.

 

Note: Do not respond if the answer involves a long drawn out explanation with photos and schematics involving swapping out capacitors or electrical repair. That's over my head. I'm just wondering if I am doing something wrong or if I got a lemon (which I will return). Thanks!

I was having an issue with my three pocket pods making repetitive clicking sounds. All three of them when plugged in to a wall socket. Also with static or hissing noises. 

 

My solution was to go to batteries. The problem was interference in my home. Could be anything. But it affected all three pocket pods when on the three adapters. You could try shutting things off in the home or disconnecting things. But there's no doubt that the issue is electrical interference. Perhaps there might be another electrical adapter which fixes this, but all three of my pods and  adapters are affected.

 

As far as the hissing noise, electric interference has an impact. You could also turn down the mike sensitivity. This worked for me.

The OP said he was using batteries.

I have a similar problem.

If you've tried different cords, then I think you may need to have it serviced. Contact Line 6 Technical support.
