By including more than just onecompressor in the Bass PODXT Live, we hope to give you, the discriminating bassist,who’s obviously hip enough to own a Line 6 Bass PODXT Live, a few new best friends.Along with the amazing sounding and highly popular LA-2A ® model that is at theheart of Bass PODXT Live’s always available compressor, we’ve provided a few extracompressor gizmos in stomp box configuration.6 • 8A friend of ours likes to say, ‘If less is more, think how much more more must be!’ Withthat in mind, try this little trick for more compression: turn off the Stomp effect, selectthe Tube Preamp Amp Model, and dial up a clean world-class bass sound that your earstell you would sound great on a hit record booming out of radios around the world. Setthe Compress knob at about ten o’clock, so it tames your dynamics a bit the way aproducer would do it on a recording. Then press the Stomp button to light it up,double-press it to call up the Stomp edit page, and start picking from the othercompressors we’ve made available for you to run at the same time as the LA 2A modelcontrolled by the Compress knob. Used by leading producers the world over, this iswhat’s known as double compression. While the front-end compressor of the Stompeffect shapes your basic tone and dynamics, the second compression stage of theCompress knob gives you the extra grace and polish of studio-quality smoothness....Blue CompRoland ® /Boss ® made their first contribution to the compressorstompbox world with the CS-1 Compression Sustainer, which stillremains a favorite of many players. Like the original, the BassPODXT Live model based on* it has a SUSTAIN control varyingthe threshold of the compressor circuitry.
