Line 6’s patented digital modeling technology
gives bass players a collection of classic bass amp and cab models, and
a state-of-the-art solution to recording bass direct. Bass POD delivers
the most sought-after bass amp tones, including the Ampeg SVT and B-15,
the Marshall Major and Plexi Super Bass, SWR, Versatone and the Vox AC
100, along with an assortment of cabinet models and digital effects.
Bass POD features 16 Bass Amp Models, 16 Bass Cabinet Models, and A.I.R.
- Line 6’s proprietary technique for simulating the complex interaction
of microphones and speaker cabinets. Sixteen digital effect combinations,
specifically designed for bass, include Distortions, Phasers, Flanger,
Envelope Follower, Octave Divider and Crossover. The amp/cab combinations
can be used as is, or mixed and matched to create custom sounds. 36 programmable
channels are provided for storage of custom amp/cabs/effects.
Unique Dual Outputs (modeled and direct) give Bass POD an edge in recording
bass guitar - allowing studio mixes of direct bass and modeled, miked
bass amps. The 16 effects, always available on Bass POD’s modeled
output, – can be applied or not to the direct output.
Bass POD sounds can be seamlessly transferred to any other Bass POD,
allowing sounds to be ported easily from rehearsal to studio to stage
and new sounds to be acquired through the Line 6 ToneTransfer Web Library.
Housed in a deep charcoal gray version of the all-metal chassis that
made POD’s bean shape an icon for guitarists, Bass POD is scheduled
to ship in Q2 2000 with a retail price of $499.99.
