Kudos Line 6 for including bassists lately.

[GerryTrevino]

I’m not even a bass player and I want this

[LaziestBassist]

This purchase was a no brainer, finally someone is thinking about bassists.

Just picked one up. This is perfect for late night practice and travel. It’s great for laying down bass track. Decent overall pedal, but don’t see this replacing a pedal board . Good value. Wish that one could run some of the modulation at the same time. 4 out of 5

So does it have a blend option? Option to blend the clean signal with the wet? If not, that’s a real shame.

The idea is great, an entry level version of line6 sounds, battery power option and headphone output make it perfect for practice. And yet, no aux-in? Why? Seems like such a waste IMO, maybe something to consider for v2? Anyways, I like what I hear! Will check one out, when the opportunity presents itself.

Edit - just found out that one can conect it via usb c, to play backing tracks on the go. Nice!

[Ravnghast]

I can't wait for this to flood the second hand market!

[Zeupater]

I just wish it had an XLR output and could double as a DI.

[neurocosm]

This looks way cool. So is that center knob dialingin AMP models that have been captured and in there as hard presets?

[boomerbutler]

What are the details of this pedal? What are the 7 amp simulations?

[niallsbasstones]

Hey from Dublin

Amazing product 🏆

Can I ask

Would it be possible to use this with the "Roland Go Mixer Pro X" to make Bass Cover Videos?

[rcanderson]

Can I just get the Line 6 FM4 but in a compact pedal please? I just want the synth sounds.

[tinbasher]

Can you edit the presets via USB/laptop?

[espenboholm]

does it come in a bundle with a really nice one string bass? that would be my dream come true. and getting it for free of course...

[mayabass]

Cool, but how is this any better than a Zoom B14? The Zoom is almost half the price of the POD Express Bass, has all the same features (Looper, Tuner, built in play along drum tracks, Amps and Cab sims) and seems to come with more effects than the POD. The Zoom also has a screen and lets you make your own signal chain with any amp or effect (up to 5 I believe) and changing those settings is super easy and customizable like using an actual effects pedal.

[JohnConnasRealFatha]

Can I run this as a preamp? I’ll sell my RBI and get one if I can.

[Nick-]

Other Moneys Ready To Fly Out of My Pockets....Soon 😂😂😂

[johnsausage]

No reverb (especially particle verb)… see ya, I‘m out 😅. Gotta keep using the (extremly versatile) HX stomp 🥰

[Ravnghast]

Line 6, why does this device cost $179 in the US and £199 in the UK?

[HVatore]

Is that a plastic box? Seriously? xDDD
