fclund Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Hi guys. Just purchased the TC Nova delay as well as the TC Hall of Fame reverb pedals. Checked them in the store and sounded excellent. Now I just discovered when hooking the the pedals to my POD XT the sound is very bad. The sound as kind of distorted like it delivers way too much input. I don't get this? I usually run a Maxon OD808 in front of the POD XT and it sounds brilliant. I only use the "Balance" option in this pedal though, and not the overdrive. Anyways my setup is this: Guitar -> Maxon OD808 -> Hall of Fame Reverb -> Nova delay -> Pod XT Also tried going guitar -> Hall of Fame -> Pod XT with same crappy result. What am I missing here??

Triryche Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Try them after the PODxt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fclund Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 Yes, thanks, I was recommended to do so, and it works a lot better. Still not 100% okay, but 90-95%, so I can live with that :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triryche Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 If you aren't already, using the stereo-in of the pedals will sound better also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fclund Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 If you aren't already, using the stereo-in of the pedals will sound better also. Okay, awesome, I need to try this as well! Only the Hall of Fame pedal has this option though. But thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triryche Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Is your delay the TC ND-1? I thought it had L/R inputs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fclund Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 Yes it is, and yes you are right... I was am just confused, because the input says L (mono) and R. So is the R then considered to be stereo and the L mono? Sorry if it's a noob question... :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triryche Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 You use just one cable with L(mono) for mono and 2 cables, L & R to preserve the stereo signal from your xt. Of course depending on you models/effects you're using in the xt and what you are monitoring with will determine it is worth it. What are you monitoring with?

fclund Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 I mainly just use the amps/gain from the POD. No effects like delay, reverb, chorus etc. I am not sure about your question regarding what I am monitoring with? Regarding the stereo option: From my pedals I pass on the signal to my Mbox soundcard and that one only has 1 input for guitar jack, so would stereo all be possible?

Triryche Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Well it depends on your specific soundcard. Monitoring meaning speakers/headphones or amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fclund Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 Well I use the POD as an amp and output to the Mbox and then again my speakers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triryche Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Which MBox do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fclund Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 The Mbox 3 (not the mini or the pro - the one in between those two models) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triryche Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Do you have 2 Line-Ins on the back? If so you could use those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fclund Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 The ones on the back are for XLR as far as I know, but I read here http://www.inthemix.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=264016 that apparently I can use input/channel 1+2 for stereo recording. I need to check that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
