Each preset has two snapshots, designed for different bass output levels (typically but not limited to active & passive basses)

Snapshot one is normal
Snapshot two contains a 10dB pad

​Drive 1 - A gentle ‘always on’ drive, designed to break up a little at high levels
​Drive 2 - Another ‘always on’ drive, based on the classic Tube Screamer, designed to give a nice warm crunch
​Drive 3 - A larger drive, designed to bring energy & punch

​Comp. 1 - A gentle compressor designed to catch the peaks & even out the dynamics a little
​Comp. 2 - A classic New York style compressor, a quick & hard compressor running in parallel with the un-affected clean

​EQ 1 - A simple low boost, to help ‘feel’ the bass
​EQ 2 - A mid scoop, great for slap
​EQ 3 - A mid boost to give the natural punch of your bass a little more power

​Octave 1 - A sub-octave with some EQ to help tracking & compression to smooth it, running in parallel with the un-affected clean
​Octave 2 - A grittier sub-octave with some EQ to help tracking & compression to smooth it, running in parallel with Drive 2
​Octave 3 - A saw wave synth octave with some compression to smooth it, running in parallel with the un-affected clean
