For worship, it absolutely does. Off is my clean tone. Channel A I have set for saturated/edge of breakup. Channel B I have set for drive.
For the heavier stuff I play, I could use one additional gain stage.

Know of any good videos or clips of the Mother being used for bass? I can only find guitar examples.
All of these:
In the Video opening track:
Bass around 14 minutes in:
Bass at the end:
Bass around 10 minutes in:
So, then, my OD quest should be done.....
Based on the videos, it seems like it can really work well for me. It's a bit large, but I kind of like the looks of it.

Well, I just found yet another new Preamp that has fantastic OD & Drive tones...
[Kidding!]

What exactly is the crossover for? I have a weighty Peavey Mark VIII XP that has a high/low gain input, 9 band EQ w/ high and low shelving, compression, chorus, an effects loop, dedicated line/patch inputs (no idea what they are for) DI out, and cross over frequency/balance knobs. I wonder if it would be worth hauling to practice. It's easily fifty pounds by my guess. Heck I could just mount my pedalboard on top of it
The crossover pedal will split the signal at a certain frequency so that you can send just the mids and highs, for example, to an effect pedal and have the lows pass through unaffected. Or have the mids go to one effect and the lows to another. This would be good for overdrive pedals that lose a lot of low end. With the crossover pedal, the low end can pass through unaffected while just the mids and highs are sent to the overdrive. You can retain the heft of the bass tone, but also get some texture from the drive in the upper frequencies.
There are different applications for a crossover. Some cabs will have it to send the highs to a tweeter and the rest of the signal to the other drivers.
I'm not familiar with the Peavey amp and what the crossover does for that.

The crossover is to keep your low end clean and drive/distort/modulate your mids and highs. A lot of FOH sound people will do this for you if they have have two di’s.
In regards to the amp....This is from the Peavey manual. It looks like the crossover controls the split of frequencies for the crossover outputs (below the knobs) that are used to send the signals to a power amplifier or other device. You can split the signal into highs and lows and send them through different outputs.
The Line Patch might be another effects loop, but for use with rack mounted effects processors?? Not quite certain on that one.

I'm not sure how many people would have used that feature on this amp. I certainly wouldn't have. There are always a few features on amps that I don't really use. Same with effects. Was it made in the 80's? Chorus was getting popular for bass around that time, so maybe some of these features were to set the amp apart. I'm currently playing ampless, so my knowledge of amps is dwindling. Also, my knowledge in general is dwindling, but that's an entirely different discussion.
