Helix answer for a bass preamp?

[Iron1]

All my basses have had active onboard preamps. Now, my new bass doesn’t have one.

I know there are preamp pedals out there specifically for bass.

But seems like there has to be something in the Helixsphere that does the same thing. Ive tried a few different drive/boost pedals etc., but figured someone here would have a better idea for me.

Recommendations?

Try these distortion models:

• Obsidian 7000 (based on Darkglass B7K)
• Zero amp Bass DI (based on Sansamp Bass Driver)
• Regal Bass DI (based on Nobels Bass Preamp DI)

I don't use the stomp for Bass but maybe try......Bassman/Dripman (silverface bassman amp), Mandarin 200 (Orange bass amp)

Thanks! I have the amp/cab all set, just looking for a preamp to place earlier in the chain.

There are a couple of bass preamps recreated with the Parametric EQ here.

Don’t forget about the Pearce BC1

What are you needing the preamp for? What are you looking to accomplish?
