How to create a "tube drive" tone with FX8 on bass

[feliperigby]

Any bass player uses FX8 here besides me? Or maybe who use the AxeFx II could help.

Which drive type I can simulate a decent or the most real possible "TUBE DRIVE" tone that sounds good for bass?

Just with the drive block. I don't want to use Eq block or other blocks to this "tube drive" tone.

Anyone?

The real bass amps that I use are: ampeg svt 4 pro, ash down evo 3 900 and a fender tb-1200

This is a shot in the dark, but maybe use the Tube Driver in the Drive block?

There isn't a "tube driver" effect block on the driver list...
That's the problem hahaha

"Tube Drv 3-Knob" and "Tube Drv 4-Knob". Mind you, these are the BK Butler / Chandler pedals and not intended for bass, but I'm guessing that if you start with the mix at 0% and increase it slowly, you might find something that works.

Or select any of the drives and choose the HV Tube clipping type.

I'll try this later this sunday. Let's see if I can find something on this area

I play both guitar and bass. I have found some of the drive algorithms surprisingly versatile. Try these settings but play with the wet dry. These are set at 100% for guitar at the moment but sound nice (to my ears) with bass. I really like touch sensitive-edge-of-breakup sounds and I think these work well.

hope you enjoy
