cool bass distortion settings

Sign in to disble this ad
i'm looking for some nice distortion settings ; nothing in particular just some 'cool bass distortion settings'.

something I like:

Gain=7 Reverb=3 Treble=4.5 Mid=5 Bass=4

P.S. I don't have a pedal so tell me if your settings include a pedal

The world of tone does not work like that. Your playing style, type of bass, pickups, finger or pick playing, your rig, and so on....will all affect what settings sound good to you. Distortion pedals are different and until you get a pedal, our information will not be helpful.
