Is The Line 6 POD Express Bass A Good Bass Rig?

Показать описание
The Line 6 POD Express Bass allows you to practice, record, and gig with a single device.

Jam along to tracks so you can nail rehearsal, connect it to your computer to use as an audio interface, and send it straight to the board at gigs.

And yes, you can absolutely gig with the Line 6 POD Express Bass. It boasts 21 onboard presets that you can access with the tap of a footswitch, and you can even add up to two external footswitches that can turn your desired effects on and off. Or, you can add a volume pedal AND a footswitch.

The versatility of the Line 6 POD Express Bass is impressive as-is, but what's most impressive is the price.

It's $179.99.

Similar tools either aren't gig-friendly—the bulk of them being existing pretty squarely for the sole purpose of practice—or significantly more expensive.

Of course, the Line 6 POD Express Bass doesn't have all the effects and signal chain flexibility of an HX Stomp or POD Go, but it's a compact solution that's ideal for everyone from newer bassists to experienced pros looking for the world's most compact fly rig.

The Line 6 POD Express Bass was recorded direction into a Tascam Portacapture X8. The audio was uploaded directly into Adobe Premiere Pro for editing. The only post-production was gentle audio leveling.

Thank you for being to only person on YouTube to actually show all it’s features. You also explained everything very well, and on top of all that; your bass sounds amazing.

I watched line 6’s actual YouTube bass release video and your video goes way more in depth. I own a sans amp and i think it doesn’t sound like it at all, but I’ll definitely buy it for the other amp simulators.

Hello Emily.
Great video review of this pedal, it seems like an "all in one" with great features. You can notice the great quality of the sounds, I don't like the fact that it's made of plastic.
Thank you for sharing and your work with this video.
Greetings from Spain 🇪🇦

Great video. I always wonder how difficult these would be to use on a gig but I guess if the set is planned then it would be ok. That bass is really great. I saw the video and the before and after is stunning. The sound and tone is great.

Awesome demo 😎🎸🤘🏻 this multi-effects pedal sounds pretty cool. The amp models sounded great. I personally like the grit, vintage, punch, and modern amp models. I like the distortion effects, but I am disappointed about the distortion model. I would have expected to be modeled after a high gained distortion effect like the mxr m80 bass d.i plus or a darkglass b3k microtubes. I also like the modulation effects. I personally like the chorus and flanger effects. The compressors sound nice and the synth effects sound fun. I normally don’t use synth effects live, but I would use it for experimental Recordings. Overall, this is a great multi-effects pedal.

FANTASTIC demo!!! This looks like so much fun! I definitely see this as having something for everyone, so it should be a slam dunk for Line 6. That price point is crazy for the quality of sound and features!
