Bass POD® xt Live has a simple, gig-ready setup that’s adaptable to all your different stage and studio needs. Whether you’re running it as a multi-effect pedal in front of a bass amp (or into its FX loop), or straight to the house PA, Bass PODxt Live is the best way to take total control of your sound at the gig.
USB - Bass PODxt Live’s USB jack lets you connect to most computers and record Bass PODxt Live directly to a wide variety of popular digital recording software packages. We’ve even included a USB cable to get you started. You can get the required driver software — and easily get it installed along with any other Bass PODxt Live -related computer stuff — by using the free Line 6 Monkey software, which you can download at www.line6.com/monkey.
Variax Digital Input - Connect a Line 6 Variax® Bass here, and experience a whole new world of possibility and sound-control power. In addition to a direct digital audio connection between the bass and Bass PODxt Live, you can have the Variax change sounds each time you choose a new Channel Memory from Bass PODxt Live’s footswitches or SELECT knob. And, you can even tweak the sound of your Variax Bass tone with Bass PODxt Live’s built-in pedal! Learn more about Variax Bass 700 here!
MIDI In & Out - Connect Bass PODxt Live to your MIDI equipment to select Channel Memories (via Program Change messages), or automate Bass PODxt Live settings (via controllers and/or SySex).
Phones - When you want to listen with headphones, plug them in here. Bass PODxt Live automatically switches to Studio Mode whenever headphones are connected.
Output To Amp/Line - The unbalanced 1/4-inch connectors here get Bass PODxt Live feeding into the front of a bass amp, otherwise, choose LINE. The rear panel LEVEL knob sets the output level. Changing the OUTPUT level does not change your tone, so you can get the tone you want at any volume level.
The MODEL connector gives you the fully processed Amp+Cab+Effects+Mic signal generated by Bass PODxt Live. The D.I. connector gives you an unprocessed time- and phase-aligned version of your signal.
Aux Input - Connect a CD player, MP3 player, drum machine, virtual accordion, or other device here, and you’ll hear it at Bass PODxt Live's headphone and Amp/Line outputs. Very handy for jamming along!
Input - Your bass goes here. Set the switch to norm for use with most passive pickup instruments. If you have to put two 9-volt batteries in your bass to make it rock, flip the switch to pad to prevent overdriving Bass PODxt Live’s input in an unpleasant-sounding way.
Pedal 2 - You can add even more real-time control by connecting a standard expression pedal, such as the Line 6 EX-1. You’ll be able to control Wah, Volume, and Tweak functions all at the same time!
