For those who are familiar with my digitech bp355 patch ideas thread, this is the same idea, only it's with the deltalab dbfx1. for those who own a deltalab dbfx1 and needed some nifty patch ideas, I will post some helpful patches for you guys. if you have patch ideas of your own, feel free to post it. I will start off with my patches.

Here's new distortion patch I've came up with. this patch kinda duplicates the edgy distorted sounds of a tech 21 xxl bass edition distortion pedal.

The 4x12M cab model simulates the warp control of the tech 21 xxl turned down down and the 4x12H cab model simulates the warp control of the tech 21 xxl turned up. you can also try this patch with the rockd stomp-box model.
