The EX preset?
I didn't know you could combine SS and tube voice in the MB-1

Quote from: Harley Hexxe on May 10, 2025, 04:15:22 AMHey Peter,

   Have you ever tried getting the MB-1 to mimick dUg Pinnicks bass tone? If so, could you share the settings?

  If not, could you suggest how I would go about trying to get it? (As a point of reference, I'm looking to nail the tones he had on the Dogman album. Songs like "Pretend," "Fool You," and "Complain" are examples of what I'm trying to get.

  What I know of dUg's setup is he uses the low frequencies for clean bass tones like you would hear from a sub-woofer, and then he uses higher gain settings for the low-mids, mids, and high-mid frequencies. Is it possible to do this on the MB-1?

   I'm kind of lost on this one. Either I'm getting overdriven bass tones without the clean low frequency underneath, or I'm getting the lows without the overdrive articulation.

Hello Harley,

I think my way of building tone with grit& clarity will get you in the ballpark area.

Use the tube channel in distortion mode dial in the amount of grit you search for.
Then use the EX preset to filter out the bass (or filter out bass and treble)
Then use the SS channel to dial in a solid clean tone (maybe with a mid dip from the EQ preset) and blend this in to taste.   

Have fun with it

Hey Harley, I don't agree, I found the MP-2 combined with MB-1 works very well.  You can turn down the gain and eq wise it was fine.  But whatever works for you.

Hey Richard,
The MP-2 is not an option. It's too much gain and EQ'd for guitar.
That does not produce a good mix of clean and driven bass guitar. Ask me how I know.
I do have another alternative and that is to get a Sansamp dUg pedal and put it in the effects loop.

Like durch people try to get fiilthy stinkin' rich on what is popular shoot those assholes.
Try by Russian builder for a Thrasher (DCP-1).
But he never returned any mail.
Then sudden if I kan pay in bitcoins.
So said no intrest for it any more.
Sound like scammer.

Hey Harley, the MB-1 patch is either distorted or not.  You can't apply the gain just to one portion of it.  What you could do to chase what you are after is use either another MB-1 (if you have 2?) or use your MP-2  for the higher frequencies and dial the gain you want.  So if you split your input across the 2 preamps, use just the Low output of the MB-1 and eq the MP-2 (or other MB-1?) like a high pass filter.

I set up my rig similar to this a while ago to try it out, works quite well.  My old live rack has a MP-2 and MB-1 in it.  Both their outputs go to a 8 ch mixer.  I used the MB-1 full range out but I could have used the MB-1 Low output instead.
It helped that my Alembic has a "stereo" out, well it's not really stereo, using a TRS to 2 x TS lead, the bridge PU goes to one TS and the neck to the other.  So I put the bridge into the MP-2 and neck into the MB-1.
The MP-2 fx were also useful, e.g. wah sounded really good.

Another way if you have an original MP-1 is put the MB-1 full range output into the MP-1 rear line level input and tweak accordingly.  Again use the MB-1 Low out for the bottom end.

It's been over a year and still haven't decided if it's for sale or not?    If it's indeed "For Sale", feel free to relist with an actual asking price and leave the Fishing for the fish.

Some people just believe they are entitled to whatever they want.
