the NEW BassPODxt first impressions

I just got back from GC where I tried out the new
BassPODxt. I was very impressed. It seems bass fx units are
just getting better and better. I like this more than any
other unit I've tried (Boss GT6B, BassPOD [huge
impovement], Korg PX4B, Digitech BNX3). The models
sound very good, their as close as I've heard to the real
thing out of an FX box. Even if they aren't perfect replicas
of the real amps they all sound very nice. I had the unit
going through a poweramp into an Ampeg 4x10 cab so I
didn't bother with the cab models. On to the FX. WOW. With
any fx unit their are always some that you'll never use, but
there are lots (over 50) to choose from. Many great
distortions, chorus's, flanges, and more. Even the fretless
sim isn't bad, though it's no substitute for a real fretless.
There are lots of synths as well, and they all track very well.
There are many to choose from but most give you gritty/
dirty type synth sounds. And finnaly my fav the Auto Wah. I
loved it. far better than any digital auto wah I've tried.
Really funky IMHO. I only played around with it for about an
hour so I didn't get into alot of tweeking. I'm sure I only
touched the surface of what this unit can do. I'm definatly
going to get one soon. The only drawback is the price.
$400 and $700 for the rackmount version, and another
$260 for the footcontroller. Not cheap but as I always say
you get what you pay for. If your serious about having a
modeler with great tone and great FX then spend the cash
ou won't be disappointed. Check out Line6s website for all
the info. You can even download the manual. But even
more importantly go to your local shop and try it yourself.
