Here's the patch I use for a drive tone. I play CCM/ worship bass at my church, but this could be used for other genres as well. Limt 76: Light Compression settings Bass Drv: Sansamp Bass Driver model (use it as my preamp). I increased the presence, increased the gain, and lowered volume. I added a touch more bass, and dialed back some treble to preserve bottom end. Ampeg SVT: Ampeg SVT modeler. Its turned off, but if you'd like more EQ settings, play with it on. ZNR: noise gate to reduce string noise when note playing PDL Vol: Volume pedal Bass: Sire V5 5-string (passive jazz bass) Both volumes and tone at 100%
