picker Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I have an opportunity to pick up a Bass POD (original version, I think) for about $90. IT doesn't have a manual or the editing software with it. I would probably use it mostly for an FX unit, since I don't need it as a "preamp" per se. So, can anybody tell me about using a one of those things that way, or whether that's a good idea at all. Also the Line 6 web site doesn't seem to have much in the way of manuals or software for the older Bass POD, does anyone have any idea where I can pick that stuff up?

zeronyne Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I uploaded the manual for you on my site: http://midiasylum.com/LDLD/pod_manual/ You'll also find there the last software editor made for the Bass Pod (sound diver). All this stuff is easily available on Line6's site. There is a small complement of effects in the first Bass Pod, and they are decent. The tracking on the bass synth is garbage, though. For about twice that price, you can get a Bass Pod XT which is much more comprehensive. I use the Bass Pod XT Pro, and it kicks ass. Oh, and if you already have a Pod XT (gtr version), you can get a software model pack for it that adds a major portion of the Bass Pod XT's functionality, models, and cabinets. "For instance" is not proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd buy it today if I could find one for that.

The Musicians Friend site had a sample of a patch called "Twin Peaks" that had what sounded like a tremolo on it, sort old Duane Eddy sounding. Can you get that sort of thing with the old POD, or with the model pack for the gtr POD XT? Always remember that you are unique. Just like everyone else.
