Zoom B1xFour - which effects and depth and volume?

I have an Ibanez Talman TMB100 and a Zoom B1X Four multi effects pedal.

I use this combo to play in our church worship band.

What I would like to know is which effects can contribute to a fuller and deeper bass sound and possibly increase volume separate of the volume controls.

Thanks!

FYI a couple of years ago YouTube's 'AMP' (Andrew M. Pincock) created several videos featuring the B1X Four, in which he did things like getting it (or trying to get it) to replicate pedals like MXR's Bass envelope pedal and the Big Muff. In the videos you can see what he's dialing in on the Zoom.

And if you become even a free-tier member of his Patreon you can get access to his Zoom patches!

Find the parametric 2 band EQ, and add it after the compressor 2nd in line, dial the 1st to 65Hz(Looooow) and the 2nd at 3K(Bright) and boost accourding to your ear. Send that into the Markbass Amp and the Markbass Cabinet too. Phatten up the bottom on the amp settings too. Locate 500Hz on the Mid Sweep and cut some. 500hz is the honky muddled frequency that sounds great if your Jaco doing a fretless solo,... but otherwise has to be cut out if there are vocals and guitas and synthisizers,....etc. Allow the vocals and the guitars the Mid-Range. You got no biz bein' in there. The Phat 60hz(5 and 6 string B) to 120hz(4 string E) will give foundation and the 3K will give definition without stepping on the other "FEATURED" performers. The scurge of bass playing!! Little do the others know........ Oh well. Do yer job.
