I have a weird problem.

I've always outlined mine from the left (or right, makes no odds) output jack at the back of the POD with a guitar lead, then used a big-to-small jack on the other end to put it in my computer's sound card via the line-in.

I've always noticed, though, that when i play with my POD through headphones it always sounds drastically different to what i get in the PC. It's fuller, fatter, louder, clearer. I figured that was because some of it got lost along the way to the PC, but i put my headphones in the left output last night and got the exact same sound as i do through my PC.

"Outline it via the headphone socket then!" i hear you cry. No, that sounds terrible. It clips, it's hissy, it's too loud too, for a start!

I'm not complaining about the tone i get in my PC because as a matter of fact it's sort of tighter, and is still as good a tone as i get with headphones straight in the POD, but it's just a tad different.

Am i doing something wrong or is this normal?
