I have bought Bass XP Pro earlier this year.
Initially, checked it via headphones - sounds brilliant, meaty.
Recently started recording with it and immediately noticed that the output
level is low.
Especially the "digital out". - I have to set digital gain to +6/+8 at least
(!) to get some decent levels. And the dry signal (which comes in parallel
to the processed sound) never comes higher than 20%!
* Processed signal does not sound exactly the same (not that meaty) as if I
would listen to it via headphones.
* Dry signal sounds like an unplugged bass-giutar is being recorded by
placing microphone in front of it.
Line 6 support is talking about a headroom for re-amping, hence why the
level is low. But not THAT low?!
I have also got a guitar POD XT Pro - no complaints with it at all.
Is this a fault with my unit, or am I missing something?
Have you talked to Line6? I called them about mine once and found that I
needed to reset / innitialize it after which it was fine. You might need
the same thing. For the life of me I can't remember how I did it but it
was either a pin or button combo and took one minute. It probably tells
you in your manual but in any event, try that and see if the heartburn
goes away :-)
good luck

Not sure if this'll solve everything, but I'd steer away from the
digital outs. I'd think that this just lends itself to too many clock
issues. Just run the processed and direct signal out normally. I
believe we always run through another mic pre like an api or neve type
pre, then to the recorder.
