What are your five favorite effects in the MS-60B? Mine in order:

1. Bass BB. I use this in a bunch of patches to add an always on bit of grit and find it to be the most natural sounding OD in the MS60B.
2. ZNR. I use this on nearly every patch and find it to be as good as any of the stand alone pedals. Also very versatile with delays, reverbs, etc.
3. SVT. My favorite amp model, and combined with BB Bass and ZNR, it makes a killer rock tone.
4. Clone Chorus. This has replaced my Analogman clone chorus, and I can get a nearly identical sound out of the MS60B.
5. 160 Comp. I still use my diamond bass compressor as an always on compressor, but could use the 160 Comp in the MS60B and be pretty happy.

Bass BB is the best OD in there for sure. I used to use the 160 comp but have now switched it up: I combined the Orange Limiter with the Tube Screamer set to minimum gain and it gives me a tone similar to the Accountant comp I love.

I also like the Clone Chorus, but found a bit more of what I was after by using the Vibrato effect at 50/50 blend for chorus.

Anyway for me the list is right now:
Orange Lim
ZNR
Vibrato
Ztron
Bass muff

I really like the Ztron too, it is my go to filter on the MS60B. Have you compared the MS60B Vibrato to the Boss VB2?

1: 160 Comp - Out of all the compressor models i feel like i can actually dial in the 160 Comp the same way i would on an analog pedal. For some reason i struggle to get as natural of a sound with the other compressor models. I tried the m-comp which seemed to kill my attack too much and the OptComp which was too subtle and difficult to control.

2: Spring63 - This reverb has a nice quality to it and reminds me of the reverb in my Acoustic Control Co. 150 amp head. i find myself coming back to this one over my previous favorite which was the plate model.

3: Bass Flanger - Nails the Sting/Police sound to my ear. I set it up with a slow rate which sounds more like a chorus.

4: LineSel - I used to use patch select mode (a, b, c etc) but hated having to cycle through so many to get back to the patch i wanted. Lately, i like to set up two or three patches and manually select them between songs with the knobs. I appreciate being able to turn on/off a whole chain of effects with one tap.

5: Bass Octave - For the sake of making my essentials fit onto a nano pedalboard i had to pull the Aguilar Octamizer off. I started messing with the Bass Octave patch and can get pretty usable tones out of it with a mix favoring the dry bass tone. I still prefer the Octamizer for several reasons but the Octave model tracks nicely and works well enough for the times i need to add some synth bass vibes.
