Popping Guitar

I'm currently recording with a telecaster and super-light strings into a PODxt. When I use low distortion amp models I’m getting a "popping" sound, which is another way of saying that there's far too much punch. Basically, the very first frame comes in at a certain level, then the very next frame drops about 7dB's, and it's quite annoying. And I can't compress it out because the attack drops off too fast. Any suggestions? I figured it might be the strings... maybe medium gauge would be better?
Thanks!

May 14, 2005 10:55 pm The limiter helps... but there is still a "flicking" in the attack. Does string guage affect that sort of thing? Will the heavy stuff get rid of some dynamics?
May 15, 2005 02:56 am It would help I think if you could post a short sample of the sound your talking about, and also what gauge strings your using. Less than 10's and that may very well be your problem, they require a very light touch, but 10's and up shouldn't be causing any problems string wise.
