I'm having a hard time dialing in a tone with my new para driver, just seeing if anyone has some settings to throw my way as jumping off points. I play a P bass with a quarter pound pickup in a pop punk band if that helps. Thanks!

Have you tried the suggested setting in the manual?
What kind of tone are you shooting for?
How are you running the ParaDriver?
What amp? How is it set?

I tried a few in the manual but wasn't overly impressed. They were passable but not amazing. Honestly I'm not 100% what I'm shooting for, I like a strong low end with some mids, just enough treble to be clear but not really cut. Amp doesn't matter at the moment because I'm planning on just using this as a DI to venue PA systems.
Attached is a picture of the last setting I was okay with. I feel like adding anything more than noon on the bass knob just adds mud.

The setting in the photo has a lot of mids. I'd set the shift around 750 and do a slight cut. Then boost the level and maybe back off the Blend to around 3:00.
As much as I love the Paradriver, I prefer the BDDI for bass. It's just easier and faster to dial in for what I want. I've found the Para more useful for guitars.
