Line 6 Floor PodLine 6, Inc., the leader in digital modeling instruments and professional recording products, announced Bass Floor POD®, the latest addition to the world-renowned POD® line of products. A complete all-in-one solution, Bass Floor POD provides the bass player with premium tone and effects in a portable, easy-to-use package. Bass Floor POD is an affordable solution for any beginning or professional bass player

Bass Floor POD can be used as a front-end multi-effects/tone pedal for any bass amp, a complete direct to PA and recording tone solution, or simply the ultimate headphone practice partner. “For the bass player, having professional bass tone usually requires a lot of extremely heavy, and often very expensive gear,” explained Rich Renken, Product Manager, Line 6. “With Bass Floor POD, a legacy of pro sounds are built into an extremely portable pedalboard that can be taken anywhere.” Inside Bass Floor POD live 5 bass amp models and a synth, pulled directly from the best-selling LowDown™ bass amp line.

Line 6’s revolutionary Smart Control Effects include Envelope Filter, Octaver, and Chorus — all effects can be easily tweaked with the twist of a knob. Bass Floor POD also features a studio quality compressor model, an onboard tuner, CD/MP3 input for jamming, a deep switch for even more bass, and a volume/wah pedal.

“Whether jamming or recording at home or playing on stage with a band, Bass Floor POD delivers massive bass tone every time,” said Rich Renken.
