While at work tonight I began thinking of why I was unable to get sound from my acoustic through my POD when I get sound from my LP. The it hit me, big dummy

First, the LP gets plugged into "guitar in" and is played on tone 1
The Breedlove gets plugged into AUX and is played on the acoustic settings (16A, 16B, 16C, and 16D) but from tone 2.

What a sweet revelation. Now I can use my POD for both my guitars at once without having to use a seperate DI for the Breedlove. Well I would switch from A,B,C, and then d loosing the sound each time. I had to physically add input eacch time. Well dummy turn tone 2 on for 16A,B,C,D and save each one. Now All I need to do is killl the volume, switch guitars, stomp on the right setting then turn the volume back up....... Man I'm a genius! roflroflrofl

I'll be going to church this week to play with this thing through the house alone so I can really play with the tone. There are just too many variables. I've got an EQ on my guitar, one in the POD and then yet another on the sound board.

Now I am thinking that if I have tone 1 and 2 on at the same time I should be able to get sound from both instruments at the same time. I'll need to check what I saved on the acoustic settings so I don't get any noise from the LP while I'm playing the Breedlove......

Now I'm confused. It's got nothing to do with tone 1 or tone 2. I can select guitar, aux, variax seperately or in any combination of the three. I've got all four acoustic sounds now only playing from aux so there willl be no noise from my LP, but I am still not sure what tone1 and tone 2 are for......??????

Is this a POD X3 or X3L? If I'm not mistaken, it allows 2 completely separate signal paths with separate processing and effects. I've been thinking this would be really nice for a hybrid guitar with a stereo output like mine. That way I could run the regular magnetic pickups ("electric") through one signal path and the piezo system ("acoustic")through the other and get the effect of 2 guitars at once. Only drawback: I can't afford it. There are others on this board that have X3L's and can tell you more.
