Found this in the manual (pg 32): "TIP: If you're jamming along with music via USB streaming, such as from a computer or mobile device app (iTunes, Spotify, etc.) to POD Express, you can independently adjust the level of the streaming USB audio, if necessary, using the "Global Settings" USB In 1/2 Trim option. This allows you to more easily balance the music playback volume versus the level of your guitar or bass signal." Also, there's no function to use external footswitch on looper sadly (pg 28-30).
Thanks for your various useful scenarios POD Express, you covered some issues others haven't yet. Waiting on mine still, maybe a few weeks yet. I don't want to bother with my Bias/DAW or a menu LCD on pricier pedals, just a pedal box with knobs I can dial in for creative sessions or run through my interface to record occasionally. Getting a foot switch for the OD but see if I can run the looper with it. Did you see if you could use the Delay when you were on the looper or is it either/or, maybe one drawback.
Well…. I do know that once in the looper if you try to dial in delay it takes you out of the loop fu croon which is strange. Sadly the unit didn’t work out for me for some of these reasons here so I returned it.
Just ordered one yesterday, on a whim, really. I've been almost exclusively recording with Neural Amp Modeller, and FX in my DAW (Reaper), but I want an easy-to-use all-in-one desktop guitar processor that I don't have to think about too much. This seems to fit that need.
@@guitaryoga1971 Very well. It sounds great, and it's very easy to get a decent sound, just turning a few knobs. No App/Editor needed. I've recorded a bunch of things with it already. The "Fuzz" into the "Clean" amp sounds huge, now add some delay and reverb and it really sounds huge.
@@davelanciani-dimaensionx how do you have in connected? Are you connecting directly to an interface like a Focusrite? I did this initially. Without a DAW open I believe you have to turn on Monitor mode on the audio interface.
@@Incacal71 I've done both methods - USB direct as an interface, and into a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 interface. Yes, you need to turn the monitor switch on an interface "on" to hear a direct input with no latency. Both sound fine. The USB input allows you to record both the "wet" and "dry" signal onto two separate tracks so that you can apply your own amp sims to the "dry" track.
