for bass tones, I like the Blackface Double on one side with the XXL cab and the Uber or Treadplate as the other amp, with an Uber cab. You can either get the natural distortion from the Uber for a looser, rougher tone, or use a Q filter in front to tighten the distortion up and get a more grindy tone. I have 4 posted:

this clip has one of the patches in it. I have it boosted in the mix with no guitars towards the end of the track. and keep in mind, I recorded this on a 4 string tuned down with loose-ass strings - should sound way better with strings with proper tension:

alright, so it looks like the tone match requests just got pushed back by one.

the nazgul with merrow's signature alien amp is such a killer tone. and it turns out at 6:37, it has the guitars solo'd. i dont know if ill share this one though lol it might have to be my new main patch.

Edit: the video isn't showing up on my phone but did on my lappy, hopefully it is for you guys. You NEED to hear this tone.

Does anyone have a good metal bass patch that they'd be willing to share with me? I'm getting ready to track my EP and I need a solid bass tone.
Thanks in advance to anyone who's willing to help.
Try using this tutorial by Mel Gibson.

You can do pretty much all the post processing inside your POD with using dual amp, one for clean side - for example the Ampeg model without cabinet, and the other for distorted side - pick the one hi gain model you know already, tweak it to your taste, for example tight with Q Filter.
The compressor is the key for badass bass sound.

So I gots me an 8 String! Getting into writing mode for the new album and really starting to dig into the POD. I'm also new at superior drummer so this is all experimentation at this point. We have always written and pre-pro'd live in the practice space, so I have a LOT of catching up to do now that I have some new tools.

Anyways, here's a little riff. You know... For kids =)

Heres something I recorded the other night using all pod for guitars and bass. Its a heavy, dark mood(ed?) track that i am very proud of.

This track also features vocals for the first time, they are rough still and i need more practice but it gets the idea there.

If you guys want ill post the patch I used as well.
