Why these settings

To recreate Chris Wolstenholme's massive multi-amp bass tone on a 6-string Revstar, the POD Go utilizes an octave block blended at 50% followed by stacked fuzz and aggressive mid-boosting overdrive into a clean Marshall block. Keeping the amp block gain down at 2 prevents the stacked dirt stages from turning into uncontrollable mush. The humbuckers on the Revstar provide ample output, so tone is set to 9 to tame any harsh piercing highs from the stacked drives.

PRO TIPEngage the Revstar's Focus switch (passive boost) and use firm alternate picking right near the bridge saddles to maximize string definition and keep the 16th-note ostinato tight.
