I really wish I could get the sound like the Darkglass pedal.
Not sure how I can achieve it with the current plugins. Any suggestions?
They do make a plugin… so I wonder if it can be adapted for the Duo…

which Darkglass pedal? the VMT can be emulated pretty well with the Tube Screamer and a cabinet sim… But yes, Darkglass emulations in the MOD would be lovely
I’ve been digging the Alpha Omega sound.
Which one is the VMT?
VMT = ‘Vintage MicroTubes’ - brilliant tube emulation pedal. I’ve got the original one, but they’ve done an updated version with EQ etc… It’s really lovely, but I can get pretty damn close (and way more versatile) with the combination above
@solobasssteve
Hey, I would also like to try that! Would you care to share a pedalboard, or a screenshot with your settings?
sure, I’ll do a refined version (and compare it to the actual pedal to get as close as I can ) and post it later in the week…
Hello!
Is there an update on this topic? I own a zoom b3n and i like it so far, but i might sell it one day in order to buy a mod duo.
Has anyone tried to create a modern crunchy Bass Sound? Think of Bands like Tool or Breaking Benjamin…
I always use an exciter, conpressor, Bass-pre (sansamp or darkglass) and amp/cab-simulation in the b3n’s effect chain.
I’ve definately done it. There are so many distortion pedals to choose from. You can stack and blend however you want.
In my current goto pedalboard for bass I am blending a low passed signal with a distorted amp type sound. They merge into the GX Cab Simulator.
On the distorted signal I’m using the x42 Organ Overdrive with an EQ after it notching out a 3Khz nasty buzz. I keep experimenting with different distortions but at the moment I feel like there is magic in the x42 Organ Overdrive. I use it for guitar sounds too.
The Low Passed side I have the LPF set to around 300hz and a gain plugin after it so I can adjust the amount of low end I want to blend. It really gives the body that is taken away with distortions.
I’ve had to change my thinking from wanting a Darkglass plugin (althought that would be really cool) to how do I take components and achieve the tone I want.
@Skydiver and @rapscallion
Thank you for your quick answers.
@Skydiver
Would you mind to share a sound demo of your paddleboard?
How is your latency?
@bobbyturban
this is my pedalboard for a distorted bass sound https://pedalboards.moddevices.com//pedalboards/5b3894432564d4302f0b0f40
It uses a signal through an SVT amp simulation for the fundamentals and a octave pitch shifted signal through a guitar simulation.
I am sorry that the recording is so quiet - but when I’ve recorded it I couldn’t listen to it any louder in this room
I will get a sound demo done soon. Unfortunately, the battery went out on my ax and my other 9V batteries are expired and dead.
I haven’t had any issues with latency. I use 256 frames and don’t notice it but I primarily play long notes and need the extra processing for all the other stuff I am effecting…
Here is my attempt to a Darkglass style bass distortion sound.
I just added a DS1 plugin on the top side of my effects chain and blend in the LPF bass.
I kept the floaty on there because I think it adds a little something…
I have a mute assigned to Footswitch1 and the DS1 on/off programmed to Footswitch2.
