LINE6 BASS POD / BASS POD Pro
TECHNICAL DETAILS

Featuring the same shape, but in grey color, the BASS POD provides 16 Bass Amps and 16 Bass Cabinet models simulation together with a full range of bass effects.
The outputs management is different from the guitar version.
It allows, in fact, the simultaneous use of both direct and model outputs.
The BASS POD Pro is the BASS POD rack mounted version. Basically, it features the same BASS POD operation. Compared with the compact BASS POD, it provides additional connectors. For instance, send/return for external processors, digital ports (with external wordclock sync) and a more flexible outputs management (extremely useful for recording and live setups) are included. Both direct and amplifier connectors are also available.
