noirb Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Hello, I'm looking for some help troubleshooting my POD HD500. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out... A strange thing happened yesterday while I was at rehearsal. I plugged in my POD and some of the patches I've created over the past few months worked fine, but some did not. I've had my POD for probably close to 2 years now and I'm running into a Randall RM100 via the 4-cable method. The patches I've created use my Randall amp (instead of amp modelling), and I use the POD for various effects (wah, tremolo, screamer distortion, delay, reverb, etc.) What's odd is that the patches that came with the POD, as well as some other patches I've created with amp modelling work fine. But the patches where I'm using the Randall as the amp, and the POD for strictly effects are the ones that don't work. And what's really odd is that effects like the screamer distortion (assigned to FS2) and wah (assigned to Exp 2) work fine, but the effects on FS1, FS3, and FS4 (tremolo, delay, reverb) aren't coming through. It's like just playing cleanly through my amp. Has anyone else had this happen to them? I would hate to be playing a show and this issue arises :( Oh - I also have reinstalled/updated drivers and firmware, and re-uploaded my patches through HD 500 Edit, but that didn't seem to solve the issue. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noirb Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 I tested out creating a new patch on a new channel - it looks like its the FX Loop that isn't working correctly... If I add an amp model then all the effects work perfectly... but if I'm using my Randall as the amp, it seems to bypass the POD... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noirb Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Nevermind - i found the solution - one of my cables in the loop is busted! Ahhhh.... aggrevating but satisfied its not the POD ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radatats Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I hate it when that happens! We always tend to overlook the simple things until the very end... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
