B3K for a clean tone?

[1976fenderhead]

I use a Sansamp BDDI to add that typical colour to my bass but I don't go into overdrive territory with it. Wondering if a B3K would work for this? Would save space on my board and I don't really use the DI or even the EQ, just a bit of Drive, Blend and a big cut on the Presence... I tried a B3K at a shop and liked what the switches did to the sound but couldn't play loud so not sure how it really works... It also seemed to keep the low end unlike the Vintage version... Your more knowledgeable thoughts?

Possibly. A little bit of dirt isn't noticeable in a band mix (as in a touch of OD.) A B3K won't do the scooped BDDI thing but it can add a slightly grindy/growly quality at lower settings. It MAY be what you're looking for or not. I love the B3K circuit but I prefer the B7K due to its EQ section.

I couldne wrong but doesn't nolly from periphery use a b7k for something like this?
