Digitech bp355 patch ideas
- Thread starter Crystalman85
- Start date
I normally post patch ideas here because it's the one resource I know where many bassists can get some nifty patch ideas for their digitech bp355.
Hi!...
I want to make a question to who knows, especially @Crystalman85 because I see that you have the BP355 long enough and you know it. I have seen that you can create patches in Performance mode, and if you change to the stomp footswitch mode you can add three different effects on your patch (to play over in deed). Can you set/modify Those 3 different effects? .
Actually, i have a BP90, but you only play with patches (like performance mode in BP355) and cannot assign any effect to the pedals.
I'm seeing a Zoom b3 also, but I like the BP355 because you can have more effect at the same time on a patch and this include a expression pedal.

If by set/modify, you mean adjust the setting to a certain patch, then yes you can do that. like the zoom b3 patch ideas thread, the whole point of this thread is to post nifty patch ideas. and if they want to, they can adjust the settings of the patch to their liking. rather if it's the setting of the amp model or the effects. so if there's a patch you like and you want to some adjustments of the setting to your liking, you can do that. and I did have the digitech bp355 for a while and have it long enough to know how it functions. right now, I no longer own it. but I have come up with some nifty patch ideas after that. I've since then moved on to the zoom b3.
What I meant is that if you could assign and turn on/off a different effect to the pedals, not include in your patch, but I saw a video and the footswitch stomp mode can only turn on/off effects already in the patch. That was my doubt.
Thank you
Oh that...I think there's a way to do that. I think you hold the 2nd and 3rd pedal on the digitech bp355 and it should be set to manual mode. this will only turn on and off distortion, chorus, and delay effects.
Yes, manual says that, but apparently only can activate /deactive distortion, chorus, and delay effects if already is on the patch.
It won't change to different effects. it can only activate and deactivate certain effects. if you want different effects, you're gonna have to create certain patches for them and use the digitech bp355 in memory mode. also please do not go off topic on this thread. this thread is specifically for patch ideas for the digitech bp355. if you want to talk about stuff like that, go to this thread. there you can ask whatever question you got for the digitech bp355.
Digitech BP-355
The bass sound in this video is a very over produced sound, it means that it goes far beyond the effect only.
But to go in that direction you need very strings and a lot of compression.

I managed to get a similar sound when playing "This is Amazing Grace," and it had nothing to do with my effects pedal.
1) Round wound strings
2) Use a pick
3) Keep the left hand as close to the nut as possible (stay inside the first five frets)
4) Using the guitar's onboard EQ, boosted the mids to capture the 1st harmonic
Sounds like you could get that sound with either the svt amp and cab model with a bright eq or the marshall volume master amp model with an svt 8x10 cab model. give this patch a try and see if it works out for you.

@Carlos W and @peear Glad the patches worked out for you guys. even though I no longer own a digitech bp355, I did do my best on creating these patches. I could purchase it again to help everyone else here that owns a digitech bp355 and needed some nifty patch ideas. so if you guys want me to, I can do that. just needed to save some cash on buying one once again.
Here's a new patch idea I came up with. this patch has both a warm and clear dirty punch that closely duplicates that of a darkglass b7k and vintage deluxe on each amp channel.
