Bass Pod Pro distortion patch

[MassacreBass]

I am trying to create a distorion patch on my Bass Pod Pro. I can't seem to come up with a decent tone ala Cliff or Tool. Can anyone point me in the right direction? A starting point at least?

Which version? XT or the first one?

First version

Ok. I had the XT but the amp models were quite the same. You could try these:

Rock Classic and California: Ampeg SVT and Mesa 400, crank the drive knob to get some dirt (I like it better than the distortion in the effects section).
Tube Preamp: it's a Line6 model, just remember to set a cabinet in conjunction. This should get you more drive/fuzz than the classic amp models.
Tool's bass player was (or still is) a GK artist, so you could also try the Eighties model (GK 800RB) and get some drive from the Danish Driver.

Thanks! I'll give that a try.

Ok let me know. I really liked both the overdriven Ampeg and Mesa 400+.
