LLBJR 0 Posted February 4, 2014 Hey gang, new member here and longtime Pod user. I've been using my rackmount Pod 2.0 Pro for recording for a long time, mostly using the SPDIF output direct to a recording interface. Recently I added some outboard effects in the form of an Eventide harmonizer to the 1/4" stereo send/return path on the back of the Pod. The effects can be heard on the stereo headphone jack, however the signal on the SPDIF output does not have the outboard effects (only the Pod onboard effects). This is a major showstopper. I'm at work and don't have the firmware version details, but I can post it later if this issue is in any way related to that. I'd guess that I can migrate over to the analog line outs as a workaround, but the SPDIF out works well in my application (at least up until now...)

LLBJR 0 Posted February 4, 2014 Shoot, I just found that Legacy/POD/POD Pro forum. Mods, feel free to move this. There isn't much traffic over there, though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LLBJR 0 Posted February 4, 2014 OK so my firmware version is 1.4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Arkadin 1,572 Posted February 5, 2014 As you've found out the fx loop is just before the analogue output, so won't appear on the S/PDIF output. I always thought having the fx loop at the end of the chain was a bit pointless tbh but I guess the reason is that the unit would need another DA/AD convertor to get it to the digital out.

LLBJR 0 Posted February 5, 2014 OK thanks for the confirmation Mr A. I was hoping there was a hidden setting configurable with a magic key combination or something. It sounds like a hard architectural limitation. I'll guess I'll plan on getting the analog outs up and going. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
