Help with getting sound through my Pro Tools

[Justin Farrell]

I had my setup all perfect, then I moved. For the life of me I can't get the wires back in place to make the sound come out. Please help. What I'm running is:

Guitar ----> Wah Pedal ----> Boss Noise Suppressor ----> Line 6 Pod ----> Pro Tools ME M-Audio Box ----> 2 Rokit Monitors

All through my iMac.

The problem is the Noise Suppressor pedal. It has input, output, send and return. I had this all hooked up but I don't know what the heck goes where anymore but I can't get sound from the guitar because none of these cables are going to the right things with so many inputs and outputs. Can someone break this down and help me? I'm losing my mind!

Thank you everyone.

Not knowing which Line 6 POD you have, I'm not exactly sure what "Ins and Outs" are available to help with connections.

Try Guitar --> Pod --> 'puter --> monitors first, and get some sound happening there.

Then add your Wah pedal back in...

Then put your Noise Suppressor/Tone Suck pedal back in its box and forget that you bought it.

Capiche?

If you must use it, then why would it be anything other than In / Out / In / Out / In / Out all the way along the chain?

You don't have it set in such a way (surely not!) that's it's suppressing all the noise (a.k.a. music) that you're generating from yer geetar, I suppose?

Better yet, go Guitar --> Interface --> 'puter and use sims/VSTs ITB for recording. If you just want to make noise and practice, buy an amp.

YMMV.
