Version 1.0 released 2025-05-11.

Designed by an LA session bass player, Blake Riley, and me. This preset has a Noble and SVT in parallel to create massive bass tones.

This preset should primarily be used in stomp mode, though it comes with snapshots as well. Your basic drive sound should be the “Amp Drive” footswitch. Experiment with the other drives as well for more intense drive tones. You can also add in any of the other included effects for different flavors (octave, chorus, etc).

There is a separate preset with a Muff and a snapshot for the MICROSYNTH sound which turns on an octave and the Muff.

Main preset footswitches:

1. Amp drive

2. RAT

3. Octave

The preset is meant to be used with a passive bass. If you have an active bass you will need to lower the level on the compressor block so that the amp block is not getting hit so hard.

Experiment with the HX Stomp input level set to instrument or line level, whichever works better for your setup. If you have your own compressor, octave, or other pedals, you may wish to disable/delete similar blocks in the main amp preset to free up DSP for other blocks from the FX preset in this bundle. If you have drive pedals I recommend putting them in the fx loop, and placing the fx loop block before the amp on path 1 in order to keep the low end clean.
