callmejs Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Hi, I'm shopping for an all in one unit to go to PA with either guitar, bass guitar or upright bass. How well does this unit deal with the requirements related to upright bass? I've read the online docs but couldn't figure out if it: - Is the input impedance variable? Does it support 1M Ohms or will I need a buffer? - Does it have a HPF (High Pass Filter) effect, and if so in what range and what cut ratio? (ex.: 20-100Hz, 12db per octave) Thanks!

spaceatl Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 It works wonderfully for bass. That is what I use it for primarily. I have not done standup since the 1980s. It works great with my 4 and 5 string basses. The bass amplifiers are fantastic. There are several HPF to choose from. You can get whatever you need in terms of EQ filtering. Input is 1M as I recall. You should not need an additional buffer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No POD Go in my area to try, but from what I've read, I can expect same quality sound as HX Stomp. My concern with the input Z is comes from the difference between the HX Stomp and POD Go manuals: - The HX Stomp manual highlights an input setting option (Gate, Thresh[old], Decay and In-Z) with In-Z allowing you to adjust impedance (page 18). - The POD Go manual also has a section in input settings (page 13) where only Gate, Thresh[old] and Decay are listed, no In-Z option in there! Do you see this option of "In-Z" in your POD Go? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceatl Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 No input Z. But I am not sure it is really needed for bass unless you wanted to get a really dark tone. I have used it on the HD for years and it is handy for guitar...For bass I have never used anything other than 1M. PodGo is fixed at 1M as I recall.
