de48g Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 I have a problem concerning the Tone I am getting from my Setup right now. It looks like this: PC connected via USB to my Pod Go and then going via XLR into my Adam tv5 active nearfield monitors. For Guitars I´m mainly using Humbucker PUs. I bought custom presets, which should be instantly ready for use. My problem is the overall sound I´m getting from this. No matter if I use the custom presets or the Line 6 Presets, the sound is really awful. I was expecting to get a way better sound than what I´m getting right now. It sounds really metallic, sharp. Simply painful. Maybe i did some wrong adjustements on the Pod Go, or do I have to play with all the preset settings in order to fix this? When I´m simply listening to music via my nearfield monitors the sound ist awesome. Hope there is someone out there who could help me!

silverhead Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Make sure the Level settings on the POD Go XLR a outputs match the expected level for your speaker inputs (e.g. Mic, Line, Amp, …). Check your speaker documentation and experiment with all options until you find the match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
de48g Posted January 14, 2023 Author Share Posted January 14, 2023 Thanks for the answer. Is there something i could do in the global settings of the Pod Go? Or do you mean I have to experiment with the Pod Go Edit Software to adjust the tone? Because the things i can do with my nearfield monitors is the adjustement of the Input sensitivity and high and low shelf eq. Tried around with those, but it didn´t make such a difference concerning the tone quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 See POD Go Global Settings > Ins/Outs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grdGo33 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 If your monitors and your Go are connected to your PC you can output the sound of your Pod Go via the PC to your Monitors; using DAW; Audacity, Garageband or something of the such. Have you tried this? Does it sound the same? Does it sound anything like this or not? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5V6-nCYt88A You could also try to use headphone out with adapter to Adams using unbalanced, see if it does a difference..
