#Bass pod xt pro drivers

Although a USB socket is provided, USB drivers for using the PodXT as an audio interface are not yet available.Superb guitar-specific effects section.Significantly improved amp model sounds, dynamic response and feel.Given the low price to which the Pod has now fallen, perhaps these restrictions can be forgiven, but the PodXT includes a lot of features and improvements that will help endear it to serious players. Particularly limiting was the way compressor usage was restricted depending on the other effects being used. Then there was the effects system, which forced you to choose between effects that you might reasonably want to use together. Though the original Pod was clearly a ground-breaking product, some players felt it didn't have quite enough touch-responsiveness and, while it was great for creating overdriven sounds, its clean sounds were considered weak by some. They've also included a USB port so that the output from the PodXT can be recorded into a sequencer or other audio program without the need for a separate audio interface - however, this requires drivers which were not yet available at the time of this review. With the launch of the PodXT, Line 6 have drawn a new line in the sand by utilising the technology from their new generation Vetta high-end modelling amplifiers to provide better amp emulations, and by incorporating more effects (many taken from their Modeler range) and better audio performance. With its simple controls, low cost and instant-gratification sounds, it was destined to be a winner, but inevitably other manufacturers quickly jumped on the bandwagon, some offering lower cost, others offering tangible improvements in certain areas, specifically effects.

This new version of Line 6's ground-breaking Pod guitar processor combines improved amp modelling with a host of high-quality effects plundered from the company's range of rack processors.
