kyledm Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 When i record something on the podhd500x with the looper, when it is played back it sounds completely different. The playback is quieter and muddy, with much less clarity. I need to have exactly what i played into it looped back, otherwise the pod is useless live. Is there a way to fix this? Or is my pod faulty? Thanks Kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 you probably need to check if the looper is set at pre or post... world of difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Is the looper recording in pre or post mode? Check the manual for the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilson69978 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Hello Kyledm: To explain a little further for you. Use the post setting if you want the loops to sound the same as when you played them. Also, do not switch back to pre and overdub as this will make the sound much louder. (potentially) Hope this helps a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelForbin Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 The looper playback is mono; that can also cause a change in your tone. As the others suggested, check to see if you are in PRE or POST mode- is the looper icon at the start of the signal chain?: or at the end? Also, the looper playback has it's own volume control, check to see that it's set to 100%, or all the way up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmayfield Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Could it be that the volume of your amplification is low enough that you're hearing the bright sound of the physical strings acoustically, combined with the POD's tone through speaker/headphones? If so, then the looper would be the (less bright) amplified sound by itself. This possibility is not as likely as the others that folks have posted above (such as Pre/Post setting), though.

silverhead Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 guys.... notice that this thread is about 8 months old. Last post before yesterday was July 2014. The OP probably resolved this long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
