Wednesday, December 19, 2007Pod X3 Live: Settings for Acoustics w/UST Pickups (live to a PA)
Setup
Before I started I made sure my onboard EQ for the Taylor guitar was flat and the EQ-ing on the channel was flat as well. I strung a very long quarter inch instrument cable from the stage to the the midpoint of the sanctuary (middle/center of a big room) to the Pod X3 Live unit where I was sitting. I then strung a very long XLR cable from the Pod X3 Live unit to the snake in the back of the room and listened to the FOH mains. I killed the monitors and I made sure I could not hear the acoustic properties of the guitar over the mains. I then had my buddy stand on stage and play different types of music, fingerstyle, arpeggios with a pick, light strumming, heavy strumming, palm mutes, etc while I tweaked settings on the Pod from where I sat. I set the Pod Master Volume to maximum and tweaked tone volumes as appropriate. "Live Out Level" was set to "Line" not AMP and "Ground Lift" was set to GND. Preset: And here's what I came up with. Hope this helps somebody else out there!
