Line 6 POD Express Bass Pedal

What if the legendary Line 6 Helix could shrink to fit in your gig bag's front pocket? That's the POD Express Bass. This ultra-portable amp and effects processor gives you the freedom to carry earth-shattering tones wherever the groove takes you. It’s a stadium-ready rig crammed into a single stompbox — minus the back-breaking load-in. With the authentic feel of world-class gear, the POD Express Bass is ready to rumble right out of the box.

Big Tone, Tiny Box

While massive pedalboards look cool, dragging them around is a definite drag. The POD Express Bass brings the noise with award-winning HX-family modeling, putting pristine, punchy power right at your feet. It’s a sonic sandbox built for bassists who want massive tone without the muscle ache.

Award-Winning HX Models: Experience the exceptional sound quality and dynamic response derived from Line 6’s flagship processors, ensuring your bass lines bounce, bite, and bark just right.
A Full Rig at Your Feet: Stack your sound with 7 thick amps, 7 thumping cabs, and 17 essential effects — spanning distortion, compression, synth, modulation, and delay.
Built-in Looper: Lay down a heavy groove, loop it, and layer on the funk. The integrated looper makes solo practice or live jamming a total breeze.

Plug In, Play Out

Fiddling with confusing menus kills the creative vibe. That’s why the POD Express Bass relies on familiar, fuss-free controls to dial in your dream tone in seconds. Plus, it’s highly adaptable, allowing you to easily take your tone to the streets, the studio, or the sofa.

Total Portability: Run it on three included AA batteries for completely tether-free playing, or plug in an optional 9-volt power supply for permanent pedalboard placement.
USB-C Audio Interface: Connect directly to your computer or mobile device for seamless recording, monitoring, and even re-amping, turning this little box into a portable studio powerhouse.
Silent Practice & Stereo Outs: Rock out at 2 AM with the dedicated headphone output or plug directly into the PA system using the stereo main outputs for gigging greatness.
