POD Express Bass is an ultra-portable bass amp and effects processor that enables bassists to take their tones wherever they choose. Simple controls make it easy to use, while models derived from the HX family of processors ensure exceptional sound quality and authentic feel. POD Express Bass gives bassists seven amps, seven cabs, and 17 distortion, compression, synth, modulation, and delay effects—including a looper—and it may be powered by three AA batteries (included) or an optional 9-volt power supply.

Connect headphones to the 3.5mm stereo Phones jack to practice or record privately with a dedicated volume control to ajust the level to your liking. Hear stereo effects as intended by connecting the L/R Main outputs to the inputs of any stereo amp or powered speaker, two mono amps or powered speakers, or recording devices with stereo inputs.

Connect your POD Express device to your computer or mobile device to use it as a portable audio interface.

Use the onboard footswitches to engage amps/effects, change presets, sync time-based effects to a specific tempo, and activate the onboard tuner. Connect an optional expression pedal to control volume, two assignable external footswitches, or a pedal and a single footswitch.
