Pod Hd Pro X Linked To Pod X3 Pro

[stevejojo]

Hi,

 

 

I am trying to connect my HD pro x to my X 3 to occasionaly add reverb etc when there is no more processing power on the hd.

 

 

I have it set up HD PRO x effects loop send to X3 return. Then X3 send to HD return. Both units with Loop switched on.

 

 

I am not getting any signal. I am using planet waves leads which I cut myself. Not sure if there's a problem with the way I have it set up, or the leads.

 

Thanks

The X3s fx return comes after the X3s send in it's signal chain - so your HD PRO signal goes into the X3 return and then disappears into the X3 to whatever follows the FX loop in the X3 - it won't come back out the FX send.

To utilise the X3 in the HD PRO's loop, you will need to plug the HD PRO FX SEND into one of the the X3 inputs (I think AUX is probably the best choice- Have the X3 patch setup so that patch will accept input from AUX).  Then take the output either from the X3 FX SEND and put into the HD PRO RETURN - or just take the output from the L or R output jacks and allow the signal to flow through the entire X3 path.

 

You may need to attenuate or boost the HD PRO signal going into the X3 depending on the signal strength - but hopefully not - hopefully it will work without any clipping occurring or any boosting being necessary.

 

Hope that resolves it for you.
