Ah, thanks for the clarification Johannes.
 
And yes, I can confirm I'm getting exactly the same behaviour with the plug-in version: POD farm 2.55 Platinum 64bit VST + SONAR X3b 64bit.
 
And that it works perfectly in X2a (again, everything 64bit).

Thank you for your replies, hope they will fix it eventually.
 
In the mean time I have a work around using an empty Guitar Rig Player with left channel in after the Pod Farm, this works ok since I don`t use the stereo fx in Pod Farm.

Channel Tools might be lighter on the machine than Guitar Rig.

You are most likely correct scook, but it seems that an empty Guitar Rig is rather light too.

Really glad you posted this question. Pod Farm 2.55 is my main amp sim and I use it everywhere. It's been working great through Sonar X2a. I haven't tried it yet in X3 but will today and see if I'm experiencing this as well.

I'm glad you posted this. If I started using Pod Farm today and hadn't seen this I might have gone into gymnastics trying to figure out what I was doing wrong.

Here's what I found worked with this issue:
 
Go to PlugIN Manager
select properties on POD Farm 2
there is a checkbox for mono processing. Uncheck it.
 
Good luck.

Johannes, I think I may have found a temporary solution for you.
 
What seems to be happening is that whichever POD Farm plug-in I use, it is somehow splitting the output into two separate (left + right stereo) channels. Even when the track I'm using is mono.
 
To be absolutely sure that the effect I was using was supposed to output in mono (even though I knew it should do), I've opened the identical project up in X2 and yes, the output remains in mono.
 
The only way I've found to return it to mono in X3 is by changing the Interleave button on the track to mono.

Thank you Steve, but it seems that jamesyoyo have found the solution.
 
I`ll come back later.

"Here's what I found"???
I believe I found out how to cure it and I posted the solution in your thread - but you can take the credit if you want.

Grum.
