Hi Curtis,
Interesting, so with the PASV-4, you notice a definite difference running the Stick straight into the POD X3 and having the impedance matching circuit in between?
...Ether Ore in particular is a fascinating look at how to use effects in a creative way.
The difference was huge between plugging direct into the KC550 and using the circuit in between using the Stickup. I haven't done a comparison with the PodX3 but I would imagine it would affect it to a lesser degree. The KC550 is probably around 500K Ohm and the PodX3 I believe is around 1 M Ohm. With the circuit being at 3 M Ohm I would imagine the difference is more subtle considering it is a 500% increase vs. 200% and that is assuming 3 M Ohm is optimum and not down around 2.2 M Ohm like the StepAbout.
So, far I have only tested with the Stickup but I will be installing my PASV4 next week and will run some comparables. Perhaps I can even record them so you could hear if you consider the difference worthy or even existent.
On Ether Ore, I should probably buy it. I don't currently own that one.
I have been considering going to another seminar coming up. I have even considered the Vancouver event.
I'll be back in touch on this note.
