Underneath the new batch of patches designed by SteveG-@-Bose and CJ-@-Bose, they have been working on crafting some great sounds on the Pod XT series for use with the Bose PS1 system. They released them here at Vettaville.nl as downloads. Thanks Guys for the time and effort. Enjoy.

Here's a note from CJ-@-Bose.

Hello everyone, in the past 3-4 weeks I have been working with SteveG-at-Bose on getting some sounds together for fans of the PodXT to use with the Bose L1 System. Steve and I have managed to work together in creating a total of 18 patches that we were pleased with. We had a total of about 22-23 sounds originally.

However after carefully auditioning these sounds those that were not a 100% to our liking got axed. We used a Fender Stratocaster with two DiMarzio HS-3 and YJM pickups and a Suhr Standard with a Rio Grande BBQ humbucker (bridge) and two DiMarzio Virtual Vintage pickups. The sounds we wrote we only saved if they sounded good on all the pickups. The Rio Grande BBQ humbucker is a fairly strong pickup, but it’s not too “hot”. Its DC resistance reads out at about 11.25KOhms, so it’s a little hotter than a reissue P.A.F. humbucker.

The sounds are a collection of some of our favorite types of tones we’ve heard over the years. These sounds will be available as downloads from our website very soon. This should happen during the next week.

I’d like to thank Kyle and Ken for letting Steve and I make a lot of noise in the Live Music Technology sound lab. It was really fun to hear the L1 and the PodXT work so well together. It was also an “eye-opener” for me as well. Mostly because I am a huge fan of tube amps and have a serious bias against any guitar amp that is not filled with tubes! So, when I started this project I thought we could come up with some “OK” sounds that most people would like.

However, I was surprised when the sounds we were working on didn’t just sound good, they felt good. In my experience getting that tactile, responsive feel from guitar and amp working as one instrument is where the magic is. I think we’ve gotten pretty close with this batch of patches. I won’t say we’ve totally “nailed it” because tone is always an on going quest and it’s subjective. Plus, you can always tweak a tone just a little bit more. However, these tones should, if nothing else, serve as a starting point for you to create your own take on what we have started.

Please check out these patches when they become available on our website very soon. If you use the Line 6 Edit application you can see the descriptions of each tone that Steve G and I came up with. Thanks for reading!

Here's a note from SteveG-@-Bose

A point which I think will work out well for everybody is that all of the sounds work well for any application, on all pickup selections on the guitar(s)……This gives them somewhat more versatility for a "starting point" (Most people will probably want to tweak at least some aspect of a sound to suit their liking) For example, even a very unique and great sound needs to have some possible offshoots in terms of effects or equalization. So, in short, we tried not to "over-do" or oversaturate any part of the sound. There is much room for the player to alter settings to fit their playing style…..

You can find all of the pertinent info under the notes section, using the new Line 6 Edit 2.1. You can find info on what type guitar, pickup and Bose output settings. All patches are in .l6t format. As there are more to come overtime an new way of searching will be added or refered to.

Just as a suggestion, for those of you that upload tones to Line 6's custom tone let the tone name start with PS1 and a space(or not), than the name of the patch, however you want to call it. For general use of finding what tones are specially designed for use with PAS this could help...

Here's an example of the underneath Acoustic patch, it could be uploaded named as PS1 Acoustic in for Line 6's custom tone. In this way you could search custom tone and easily find the patches made for Bose® Personalized Amplification System™ family of products.
