Jam along to tracks so you can nail rehearsal, connect it to your computer to use as an audio interface, and send it straight to the board at gigs.

And yes, you can absolutely gig with the Line 6 POD Express Bass. It boasts 21 onboard presets that you can access with the tap of a footswitch, and you can even add up to two external footswitches that can turn your desired effects on and off. Or, you can add a volume pedal AND a footswitch.

The versatility of the Line 6 POD Express Bass is impressive as-is, but what's most impressive is the price.

It's $179.99.

Similar tools either aren't gig-friendly—the bulk of them being existing pretty squarely for the sole purpose of practice—or significantly more expensive.

Of course, the Line 6 POD Express Bass doesn't have all the effects and signal chain flexibility of an HX Stomp or POD Go, but it's a compact solution that's ideal for everyone from newer bassists to experienced pros looking for the world's most compact fly rig.

The Line 6 POD Express Bass was recorded direction into a Tascam Portacapture X8. The audio was uploaded directly into Adobe Premiere Pro for editing. The only post-production was gentle audio leveling.

You can also buy from Amazon if you'd like: https://amzn.to/435J14s (affiliate link) though I highly prefer Reverb.com.
