I start playing and all is going well , then the volume just cuts to zero, and there is no sound. If i switch patches the sound comes back, but then a few seconds later, its cuts out again. Any idea? I keep this thing in excellent condition, and i just played for a few hours last night with no problems, any help is MUCH appreciated. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

If the problem still occurs then it has to be the pod itself. I'm not an expert on pod's myself but they have such a high quality standard that I'm 90% percent sure that the problem is something else than the pod...

Maybe it's not related to when you switch sounds the sound comes back, maybe you move and the headphone cord gets a working position, or you move the POD and the cord to your PA finds a working position. Also check the jack, if that's the problem. I have fooled myself more than a hundered times jerking with the jack on my Guitarport while it was the cord to my headphones´, the connection to the actual headset, was half way pulled out so I only got low volume and noise. Check if Line6 have any software updates for your model. Or if you rescently installed one that came with a big in it. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

When I have to high volume, for example when viewing a GMC lesson using the POD as soundcard, it lowers the overall sound to get the GMC lesson on a "normalized" level. The lessons default level is much higher than all my other soundapps. I haven't bothered to check if it's the POD or my headphones that does the normalizing.

Anyway, I bought all new cables, erased the POD, and downloaded the patches back from my computer, I looked in my Ibanez and the wire leading to the input jack was barely attached at all, so i fixed that up (Don't worry, I know my Ibanez better than my own house, and Im fairly good with electronics) and since then.....I have no money to buy strings to see it if has been fixed Either way, im playing on my Dean right now, and it hasnt happened yet, so this is a good sign You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I think the problem is still there... because it just don't happen with your dean doesn't mean it wouldn't happen anymore with your ibanez. PODX3 Live has a new update... try it and perhaps your problem has been solved. I'm very happy with mine, but it looks like vista doesn't always see my Podx3. When I turn my x3 on and start the gmc I can put the sounds through my x3. Sometimes it works but sometimes not. If I look in the sound options menu of the x3 and I play some music I see the level going up and down (so it looks like it's using my x3). But no sound is coming out. I think it's an vista issue...
