BASS POD XT LIVE MANUAL
However the manual is essential to save, duplicate and classify the sounds.
BASS POD XT LIVE SIMULATOR
Prampli with bass amp simulator and effects numrique Priced like a practice amp, it's definitely worth the money. I got way more than I expected with this unit. I wanted something that sounded good enough to record. I just wanted an easy to use, no hassle unit with knobs instead of a digital menu system. I haven't tried a lot of bass effects units or bass amp simulators. However, the dust eventually does get in there, so I would recommend storing your unit in a drawer, box, or bag.
The knobs themselves have dust sheilds on them to prevent dust particles from creeping into the pots. I think the unit would benefit from having reverb, delay, and classic wah effects like bass balls. I also think there are too many distortion options. I can't groove into the bass synth effects on the unit. I like effects that are weird as long as they are useful. The best bass is the one you don't notice.
BASS POD XT LIVE FULL
The Bass Pod also sounds great on hard drive recordings, giving a full professional sound, that fits well into the mix without too much tweaking. You can practice with headphones, playing as loud as you want, without disturbing/being disturbed by the neighbors. It's a great alternative to a heavy rig, totally appartment sized. There is also no appreciable background noise from the amps. I found it fairly easy to do so, without a digital sound, or flat "warm" sound like other units have. I tried matching sounds to compact disk recordings of my favorite bass players.
BASS POD XT LIVE SOFTWARE
Software and a midi connection to a computer are not needed. All of the functions, and configurations are accessible on the unit itself.
There is a great deal of diverse and useful amp and speaker simulators. It sounds awesome for my 6 string bass too, of course. The Bass Pod adds depth when serialed after the Guitar Pod. Vocals and synths also sound great through it. One thing is that all my guitars sound great in it, including my Les Paul Standard and my Nylon string guitar through a piezzo. The bottom line is, I think the POD is good for studio work and maybe for helping to improve the sound quality of a cheap rig, but using it live simply didn't work for me. The unit is constructed solidly - I don't really have any "samsonite" stories where I sent it tumbling down 4 flights of stairs or anything, but it fit in my gig bag nicely and I never had any problems with it. I think the POD would be excellent for studio work, but using it live (for my purposes anyway) just wasn't an viable option. There was a second of delay when I hit the switch to go from one sound to another, and I wasn't able to go from preset to preset cleanly. I purchased the POD to play live and that was a mistake. The main thing I didn't like though, was the footswitch setup. Every setting seemed to kill that attack on each note, and it didn't allow for a distortion sound with a good PUNCH. In spite of a wide variety of distortion options, I never really found a "fuzz" sound that did it for me - I tweaked them every way I could but could never find what I was looking for. I also like the feature that allows you to emulate the sound of classic amp/speaker combos, however I already play through a great Ampeg Rig with a sound that I like very much, so I rarely utilized this feature. I like a lot of the flange and chorus effects - and saving the sounds is really a breeze. I purchased it because I play in a power trio, and the music is somewhat "theatrical", so I was looking for a way to be able to diversify my sound in specific areas of certain songs. I bought the POD at Guitar Center on Sunset - paid around $275 for it along with a 4-channel footswitch made especially for the POD.
