I’m getting there with the Roscoe. So far I’m trying these settings...

Great Video Thank you. Received mine today and can't wait to mess around with it .
I've tried it now with two passive basses, a Ric and Jazz, and while I'm aiming more for Squire territory, this is my favorite setting so far. Tight button is engaged...I think that will be the norm. Very usable.
Yeah I LOVE what that tight button does the tone!!
Is the tight button being 'on' really obvious in your sound as it looks as though it would be quite hard to spot visually?
It’s a little tricky to see in poor lighting for sure but yes it’s pretty obvious that it’s on sound wise with all the settings I’ve played with so far
I don't own the pedal, but when I get one I (and I will!) I'm certain the Tight setting will be my norm. I'm all about focusing the dirt on the higher frequencies and leaving lows clean (or mostly clean).
Finally arrived and sounds great! Note that those aren’t my settings.
The flavor of gain is really nice, sounds good throughout the knob’s range. I definitely prefer the Tight button engaged too, not to mention a slight cut for the Mid control, which is extremely rare for me. Usually I like boosted mids but a slight cut sounds really great with the YYZ. Boosting the mids sounds awesome too, don’t get me wrong.
Mine arrived today as well. There are a ton of sounds possible out of this box! I'm looking forward to exploring more of it later tonight after my kids are in bed.
Man, I should have read the manual too! The recommended settings are pretty great and not what I would have found on my own. For example, in some of the suggestion the mids are boosted way up which I never usually do.
The YYZ will reluctantly be replacing the VT bass on my small pedalboard. I still love the VT Bass and it seems to come close to the YYZ, but I think the YYZ is "tighter", a bit more polite, and a bit easier to find usable tones.

I second that the manual suggestions are super helpful and display a wide range of good and sometimes surprising settings.
I hate to say it but I think i like the YYZ better than the VT Bass, too. I do miss the Character knob a bit (a frequency control for the Mid knob would also work) but overall, the YYZ is pretty hard to beat. Even the extreme settings of the EQ knobs can still be usable.
Looks like mine somehow didnt get one. Would you be able to take a picture of the recommended settings?
You could download the full manual on the tech21 website !
That sucks. I could do that for you, but you can get the whole manual at the website under support.
Oh I'll look again. I thought it would be on the product page for the YYZ but I'll look again
