De Toon Town

De Toon Town is the name of a patch I created on the BOSS-GT6B. I use it exclusively for my normal playing on the Musicman Stingray bass. You are free to use it if you have a similar setup as mine.

Warning: Do not continue reading if you're not a music gear geek

With a Stingray 3EQ / BOSS GT-6B combo I believe I have achieved a near perfect tone (always subject to interpretation and mood!). Stingray EQ'd as zero treble, zero bass and maximum midrange. BOSS-GT6B patch (u7-3) was programmed as follows:

As a personal preference during clean mode I turn off the Pitch Shift (FX2) and the Limiter. During slapping I turn them both on (or else just the Pitch Shift, depending again, on the mood).
