GETTING SET UP Y Bass PODxt Pro N ConŢgurations & Connections
FX Loop
Press the Soft Button below FX LOOP and spin the EFFECT TWEAK 14 knob to
choose SERIES or PARALLEL operation for the loop.
3 Y 13
Setting LOOP to SERIES means that Bass PODxt Pro will send its full signal out to the
effect, and then output the signal that returns from the effect. If you turn the effect off,
or turn its output level all the way down, you wonOt hear anything. Use the mix control
on the effect unit thatOs connected to the loop to determine how much effect you hear
versus how much of the uneffected Bass PODxt Pro sound.
If you set LOOP to PARALLEL, Bass PODxt Pro sends a parallel copy of its signal to the
loop, while simultaneously sending its signal to its own outputs as usual. Some people
prefer this type of setup, because only a small portion of their tone is run through the
effect, preventing some effect units from degrading their overall tone. When running
parallel, you should set the mix control on the effect unit thatOs connected to the loop
to 100% wet. Then adjust the balance of effect versus uneffected Bass PODxt Pro sound
by adjusting the output volume control of the connected effect unit.
PLEASE NOTE: Many effects can result in compromised sound when run in
parallel, because the signal coming back from the effect unit is out of phase
with the signal that has stayed in the Bass PODxt Pro. This is generally not
a problem for delay or reverb, as long as the external effect is running 100%
wet. It is often a problem with modulation effects (chorus, phase, flange,
etc.), compression, or any other effect that includes some unprocessed
sound mixed with processed sound. For these effects, series is generally the
way to go with the effects loop.
ALSO NOTE: To loop on the D.I. only, you must still plug a cable into the
Model Send. Otherwise the D.I. loop will be sent Model + D.I. signal.
You can turn the loop on/off from a connected FBV foot controller or the loop on/off
parameter in the last EDIT displays. This on/off state is stored with Channels that you
save, so you can have some with the loop on, and some with the loop off. |
