pod 2.0 queston...

[Blink 182]

whenever i try and direct my pod, theres some very nasty noises that also get recorded. it sounds like my leads are bad but i've spent alot on trying out different leads and the noise is still there, although its quieter with the expensive leads. is this normal? or should i be able to sort it out? it claims its the ultimate direct guitar box but it frustrates the hell out of me.

Are you recording to your computer? Are you using a CRT?

yes im recording to computer but it still buzzes like hell when i use the pod as an amp with a cab.

pickups?

Are you using single coil pickups?
Is there a light switch dimmer in the room? Have you tried rotating to different positions away from your recording device? What kind of cables are you using? Try balanced 1/4'' monster cables if yours are not up to par... does the buzz disappear when you roll off some gain? Also make sure the pod is set to d.i. not amp mode if you are plugging your guitar straight in then the pod direct to your board/recording interface....
