I don't know what I'm doing wrong and have searched everywhere to no avail.  I am trying to record guitar through a Line6 PODXT and to also record a clean DI signal as backup for reamping. My chain is 1) guitar output => 1/4" input on DI100 => output XLR to interface (Focusrite Scarlett) and 2) LINK on DI100 => INPUT on PODXT => Output on POD to second input on interface.  When I do this the clean DI signal records just fine, but the LINK signal from the POD picks up all of my backing tracks rather than just the guitar signal.  I have tried going directly into the interface (no DI) and it doesn't do this, so it seems to be something specific to the interaction between the DI and the POD.  Any suggestions?

Hi, I have bought a PS1 Powersoak. It's all good but if I run my Vox NT50 flat out into it with a 2x12 cab attached, even with the powersoak set to the lowest volume, it's still too load to play in my flat late at night.

So, is it safe to use it without the speaker attached and the soak volume set to a little more than the lowest, then I can use the line out into a mixer & use headphones. I say, little more than lowest becuase the line out is wierdly controlled by the large soak volume wheel, so when that's set to lowest, virtually nothing comes through the line out apart from hiss & hum.

The manual is quite ambiguous on this.
