Hi all --
For a long time I've had a computer, and I've had a line 6 POD. Yesterday on a whim I tried connecting them, and it's been no end of headaches.
I used a little 1/4" guitar cable and a 1/4" to 1/8" adapter to hook up the POD's left output to my SB Live's line in. I set the computer's main volume and line-in volume fairly high, set the guitar volume to 5, and increased the POD's output level until I could hear pretty guitar sounds from my computer's speakers.
I had successfully turned a $1000 computer into a mediocre guitar amp. I was in heaven.
Then I ran "sound recorder" (I've got windows 98), recorded a few seconds of guitar-noodling, and played it back. It came back as a weak, noisy signal that was overdriven to hell. Drat.
I suspect I'm doing something stupid here. Can anyone here tell me the *right* way to hook up a POD 6 to a SB Live?
thanks for the eartime
