Is there a bass equivalent to a Vox tonelab?

[uOpt]

In the guitar world I like the Vox tonelabs. They are floor multieffects with pedal and stomp switches and there's a tube in there. To me they sound much better to be than the purely solid state multieffects. Most of the actual effects in there are kinda useless but I combine with regular pedals.

Is there something like this for bass? Some tube-using, floor-only preamp/multieffect with decent filtered direct out?

The ZOOM B9 is the only one I can recall:

Used BassPod or Pod XT live (Line6) out to an ART Tube MP Pre-amp to warm it up a bit.

I'm afraid I hated the Pod stuff.

The zoom looks interesting. Might be worth a try.

The effect of the tube in the zoom is very, very subtle IME. It doesn't use the tube to create the drive sounds, more to add a little colour to drives and compression.

Pod stuff sounds indeed very artificial... B9 is old tech compared with the new Zoom B3, then you don't get the tube pre-amp with B3 but as mentioned above the effect is subtle. Just for the sake of the better compressor types I would rather get a B3.
