I've purchased this unit recently here from Badass(thanks again, Cliff!) and made some tweaks with it today, so I decided to make several sound samples, especially of Drive function.

Used bass is Spector 4 Euro LX, with VERY old strings and bad setup(but who cares about it ), both pickups, eq set to taste, same settings through whole recording process.

Alder fingers, variable dynamic and rhytmrate, sorry

M-Audio MobilePre soundcard, Sony Soundforge, post-processing- only normalize function.

[b]1.[/b] Bass directly to soundcard, there is some clipping noticable- Tonepump is VERY powerful onboard preamp

[b]2.[/b] Spector->Microbass. No input boost, no EQ, just flat [i]channel A[/i].

[b]3.[/b] The same as point 2, but [i]Tube Sim[/i] button engaged. Added nice smoothness to the tone, compressed some peaks, hope it is noticable.

[b]4.[/b] [i]Channel B[/i] added. Everything is still flat, no [i]Edge[/i], no [i]Mids[/i] tweaked, just slightly turned up the [i]Drive[/i].

[b]5.[/b] More [i]Drive[/i].

[b]6.[/b] Even more[i] Drive[/i]. I don't like distortion like this, just wanted to show how capable is this unit.

Microbass is VERY versatile unit, those clips are just fragments of HUGE amount of sounds you can dial in. I tried to show especially Drive of this Preamp/DI. Hope you liked it little bit

Enjoy.

Yep very versatile bit of kit.

Please you are happy with it David

A really useful post David! Thanks! - I like the TubeSim effect. I can see that being useful for taming an aggressive bass tone and sit it in the mix without having to resort to faffing with EQ for ages!
