Classic Metal Sound

I use a Tech 21 sansamp Bass DI to get that tube amp growl. The newer VT bass pedal might work better at that but I also use mine as a DI to the sound board. Got to the tech 21 page and the have some sound clips of some different settings and see if they have the sound you're looking for.
