Line 6 Pod Go (Wireless) | Does It Bass?

I like somewhat complicate signal paths that can be run with the Line 6 Helix.
Does the Pod Go provide a worthy grab & go or a backup rig with some essential bass tones for a multitude of gigs?

I'm using the Pod GO for bass as well. Another option for a clean blend is the "Busy One Jump" amp model. It consists of 2 separate amp channels that you can blend together. I set one channel to clean and fat and the other thin and crunchy and blend to taste. This saves you a pedal if you are using a lot of effects on this patch. I find I can get a decent Geddy Lee type tone this way.

LOVED IT! I'm so stoked that you checked out the Pod Go. As a Poor bass player, I really wanted a multi-effects unit that I could mess around with and I was able to get a Pod Go (non-wireless) on a good sale. I'd ABSOLUTELY love to see what else you're able to do with it and any tutorials you can provide to get the most sound/use out of it for the Bass.

I still love the old Line 6 Bass Pod Pro (granted today's amp/cab sims sound better). But it was packed full of bass amps/cab sims, I wish Line 6 would create another dedicated bass modeler. I have the Helix, Eleven rack etc and they are dedicated mostly for guitars.

I'm currently running a HX Effects as my bass rig, using either the SansAmp or Darkglass preamp models in conjunction with a selection of bass cab IR's. I gives me loads of options for effects blocks and also parallel paths.

Fractal is really missing on the Bass department... Line 6 is miles ahead... Hope they can reach Fractal's leadership on guitar and Fender's new UI + touch screen. That'd make Line 6 the master of them all.

Thanks for this. Does the pedal, even with no effects on, affects the original sound of the instrument ? I notice that many digital bass pedal affects sound...

amazing!, works fine with an active bass, with the wireless system??

[christmeister]

Is this good for bass effects? I don’t plan on using this for amp sims

[KinkBass]

does anyone know if the "drop tuning" works well with the bass? It is one of my main requirements!!! I want a distortion with a clean mix, compression and being able to have several tunings without touching the bass!!!!

Thanks.

Very good mate! Just subscribed! I want your first sound with the Ampeg SVT. I use a Focusrite with headphones and I’ve got the SansAmp preamp. I also have a Squier PJ Bass. Any suggestion to get that clean sound?
PS: I have a standard Rumble 15 Amp and some friends told me to use a mic and connect it to the Focusrite to get a cleaner tone.
I also have the Zoom B1 Four effect pedal.
Cheers

Nice video! Does the octaver you are using have the option to shift sounds up like royal blood? Or is just shifting the pitch down? I'd like to emulate the pog 2 octaver pedal.
Also the fact that It doesn't have midi, does it mean that I can't connect it to a computer to record? What kind of limitations does the fact of not having a midi port bring?
