Yeah you could.
Or even in the bass amps, there's often a DI thing to leave the low-end untouched.
Though if you want to be able to make the most out of it, the best would really be to use 2 tracks and then low pass/high pass them, as you can't really route stuff inside Pod Farm.

Shite! old one! Still using it though, for some reason allways ups my mixes alot + makes it easier for me to make a complete mix sound "solid" low end wise.

Been doing a hardware version of this on my session today.
Trace Elliot Combo with 15" speaker for the clean low's, mic'd with a E602 and a CAD M179
Ibanez TS7 into a Hartke Head with a Trace Elliot 4x10" Cab for the distored mids and high's, mic'd with a I5 and a SM7B
Bass is a Marett with soapbar pickups (no I've never heard of it either! sounds decent enough though)
Probably wont use all 4 mic's in the mix, just nice to have options.
Also grabbed a DI as a backup.
If it comes out good I might post a clip.

Hey Seizure, this is a good idea. Never thought of it before, wish i had seen this thread before (hey i've been a lurker for 3 years 
). Thanks for sharing.

well, the only interface i have is a POD GX, and as my bass is such a crap one, its D.I signal is so low, that i MUST use a vst to increase its sound..so,i have to use 2 Channel's and 2 Farm's With Dual Tone, i can't exactly make what i want cuz the eq in it isnt enough to make big cuts..
With Dual Tone, i can't exactly make what i want cuz the eq in it isnt enough to make big cuts..So how do you have that setup?
Bass ->
Splitter ->
(A) Trace Elliot combo,
(B) Splitter ->
[1] DI,
[2] TS7/Hartke
Or are you DI'ing and then reamping through the different amps?
If were talking bass anyway...

New DrDoom with bass a "tad" to loud to check the sound

Bass is going into a DI, thru output into the Trace, which has a line out (pre-eq) that I'm sending through a reamp box into the input of the hartke.

I've just discovered how much I love the moogerfooger lowpass for processing the "low DI". effin awesome

(warning, another necro-bump !)
Something I tried recently : setup a DI and a mic as usual (bass => DI => amp and effects => mic, as ahjteam said). Then use the amp's EQ to remove the lows and the console's EQ to remove the mids and highs, and patch a compressor to slam the fuck out of the DI signal, just as you would (possibly) do in the studio.
It sounded amazing ! The lows were totally in control, no more jumping notes caused by cab resonances or dead spots on the neck, no more low-frequency rumble on stage, and pretty much no phase shift issues because the cab signal wasn't interfering with the PA signal. And all we had at the moment was a shitty Behringer console with a crappy built-in comp... I'm eager to try this with decent hardware
Anybody else doing this ?
I didn't get totally what you were EQing.
But you remove the low-end on the amp and leave in the low-end on the DI with the console?

Yep, exactly. I always put the DI first in the signal chain, between the bass and the amp/pedals, so it captures the clean bass signal... and I basically kept the lows from the DIed channel and the mids/highs from the miked amp channel, just as I would have done in the studio.
