Hey dudes, I'd like to know why when I record through the Podxt directly into the PC, why I get such clipping? Een if I don't play and just record silence I get cliupping. Why so?

could you expand on your setup a little more? Are you going from the pod to the line input on your PC?

Guitar -> PODxt -. USB cable -. PC -. Audacity

I'm not familiar with audacity but make sure your input gain in audacity is at a reasonable level.

Clipping when recording silence? No, that doesn't sound right. I know the podxt does add a fizz to everything though- I don't have one so I don't know if that's a constant thing but it can be notched pretty easy if you cut around 13k. If that's not it maybe check your cable? All I know is you can't get "clipping" if you aren't recording a very loud signal so it's probably something else that sounds like clipping.

I think I've read about something like this on the PodXT forum. People were talking about slower computers with this problem... I think you should visit the Line6 Forums and ask them :)

The pod xt is probably one of the best modeling amps out on the market today (probably the best imop)


I would say its either your processing speed or input gain, i kno that i get clipping when its too high...

not fimiliar with audacity--im a sonar man ;)

Ok then how do I change the level of the input gain?

I would recommend going to an audacity forum as you would probably find a better answer. Very few if any users here use audacity.
