Effects
With Bass POD® XT Pro, you get all the effects that you need to customize your sound. We’re talking models of vintage stompboxes, rack-mounted studio gear, and even synths. You also get some great Stomp, Mod and Delay/Verb effects from the Line 6 award-winning DM4™ Distortion modeler, MM4™ Modulation modeler, and DL4™ Delay modeler. There are over 50 in all, so you just may never run out of ideas again. And don’t forget about the full-time dedicated compressor and 6 band semi-parametric EQ. Bass PODXT Pro really has it all.

Last but not least, you also get a built-in chromatic tuner that offers precision tuning at the touch of a button. The tuner features Audio Mute and Bypass options with an adjustable tuning reference and hands-free operation when used with the FBV™ series foot controllers

AMPS
We took extreme care when choosing which bass amps to model for Bass POD® XT Pro in order to give you the best tone possible. It’s a fact that even two amps with the same circuit design, from the same era can sound different. So we grabbed a Sherpa and scoured the globe for the perfect specimen of each amp — that one very particular amp that has the magic. A “Best of Breed” if you will. The results can make even the most hardcore tone fanatic weep.

With Bass PODXT Pro you get models of 28 of the most perfect bass amps ever created, everything from rare vintage gear to modern-day thunderous monsters. Now you will be ready to lay down truly impressive basslines for any style of music.

Bass PODXT Pro also features models of the 22 most historic speaker cabinets ever built. Mix and Match these cabs with the bass amp models and you have the ultimate collection. And with the latest generation A.I.R.™ II cabinet/microphone modeling, you can choose from 4 different classic mic models to really fine-tune your own distinctive sound.

Bass POD® XT Pro features 1/4-inch and XLR outs, 24-bit/96k digital I/O (AES/EBU & S/PDIF), effects loop, analog reamping in and outs, biamp mode with selectable crossover, the ability to mix the direct signal into the modeled output, 4 mic models, A.I.R.™ II cab/speaker/mic emulation, MIDI, and USB digital I/O for Mac® and PC recording applications.

INS/OUTS
Re-Amping
Using the ANALOG REAMPING INPUT/OUTPUT connections, you can send a dry unprocessed guitar signal to your recording device and send it right back into the Bass PODXT Pro. Why is this so cool? Well, now you can go back at any time and change the entire sound of the track you recorded. How many times have you recorded a track where you wanted to just pull back the drive on a stompbox, try a different amp, or add a little more compression? Now you can! If you're really into experimenting with sounds, try sending other tracks like vocals, keys, or drum tracks through the Line Level Input jack! If you're really sneaky, you can also do this digitally with the AES/EBU, S/PDIF, or USB connections.

Effects Loop
Even though Bass PODXT Pro has more stompbox and studio effects than you can shake a stick at, we've decided to give you some extra rope and thrown in a programmable effects loop. Now you can run your old rackmount effects processors in series or parallel.

Unbalanced Analog Out
These 1/4-inch outputs can be run in Studio, Live, or Bi-amp mode. In Studio mode, they're ready to plug into a recorder with unbalanced –10dBV inputs. In Live mode, they don't have speaker simulation, and are ready for connection to an onstage amp. When Bi-amp mode is enabled, the low frequency portion of your signal is sent out the D.I. jack, while the high frequency portion goes out the Model jack, so each jack can be connected to a separate power amp and speaker cabinet(s) to separately amplify your lows versus your highs.

Balanced Analog Out
These balanced XLR outputs can be run in Studio or Live mode. In Studio mode, they're ready to plug into a recorder with balanced +4dBu inputs. In Live mode, they send –10dBV signals to the P.A. or house system.

AES/EBU & S/PDIF Inputs and Outputs
These jacks can send and receive digital audio signals in any combination of 16, 20, or 24-bits with 44.1, 48, 88.2 or 96KHz sampling rates. Bass PODXT Pro uses its internal clock to generate the sample rate you choose, or you can sync to the signal you send it from your digital system.

USB Port
The Bass PODXT Pro USB driver software allows direct digital recording to your Mac® or PC, plus the ability to play back audio from your computer like a soundcard. Also supports MIDI over USB.

MIDI
Bass PODXT Pro lets you control everything via MIDI. You can select any Bass PODXT Pro Channel, automate any parameter, and backup your Bass PODXT Pro memory to your computer.

Pedal
Our FBV™ and FBV Shortboard™ allow you to select different patches, tap in your effect speeds/times/tempos, and kick in the tuner. Plus, both foot controllers give you a Volume and Wah pedal. This same jack also sends power to the FBV and FBV Shortboard. There's also the smaller FBV Express™, FBV4™ and FBV2™ controllers if you want to travel light.
