01Valeton GP-50 (SVT Amp Model Block)
Select the SVT/Ampeg style bass amp model; set the Ross 35B EQ flat to act as a clean transparent monitor
02Valeton GP-50 (Compressor Block)
Even out aggressive pick transients while keeping punch
The Ross 35B is an analog practice combo lacking an SVT-style tube pre-gain stage, so the Valeton GP-50 provides the essential Ampeg overdrive and tight 800Hz punch. On the SX Precision, rolling the tone knob slightly off wide-open tames clank while keeping the bite required for the track's driving sixteenth-note rhythm. Keep the Ross 35B EQ centered and let the multi-FX shape the grit and low-mid heft.
