Wow... Seems.... Complex, though you did a nice job explaining it. 🙂 My Pod Go set up: 1. No amp on stage, at all 2. Guitar in 3. Left (mono) out goes into mixer/FOH 4. Xvive U4 in transmitter coming out of my monitor out channel. 5. Xvive receiver on my belt with in-ears plugged into it. That's it. 🙂
Because I’m using the FX send to go to the PA. If you use the main outputs to the PA then your in-ear monitor mix would also be sent back to the PA and create a feedback loop.
If you use the main out, then you will be sending both the guitar signal AND your monitor mix back to the PA and create a feedback loop. Using the FX Send allows you to isolate the GUITAR ONLY signal.
@@henrydueckmusic you mean that you send the monitor mix signal IF there s a monitor signal that arrives to your POD, right? Maybe @IrvingCNC simply asks why use the FX Loop instead of simply going out from Main Out..
@@matteoradi Correct. If you were not using the Pod as your monitor mix headphone Amp (which is the point of this video) then you would simply use the main output.
Yes, that would sum it to mono. I usually don’t use stereo effects. If you put the stereo effects after the cab, and the effects loop after that, then you can use the FX out in stereo.
If you use the main out for the guitar then you can’t use the FX loop for an in-ear mix. It will send the monitor mix out along with the guitar signal.
For this set up, yes, the FX loop needs to be at the very end. Otherwise your monitor mix with vocals etc, will all go through the cab block, and your guitar signal would go out to the PA without a cab.
@@profesorvictorayala1855 Yes, select the cab and then press ACTION which "lifts" the cab and lets you move its location in the signal chain, then press ACTION again to drop it into the new spot.
If you are just practicing with headphones, then all you need is your guitar plugged in and headphones out. This setup I use is for a live performance using headphones to add in a monitor mix with the other instruments.
I see you have an Ernie Ball cable there, I think. Have you tried the instrument & headphones combo cable from the same manufacturer for this amazing setup you have here?
If your amp is like my Blackstar amp, it needs something plugged in to the front input to take it off of “standby”. I just plug a 1/4” adapter into the front input. Give that a try.
