Pro + Tube switch on, medium-high drive, medium-high tone, blend
Pro switches on, medium drive, medium tone, blend
Pro + Tube switches off, high drive, high tone, blend

Signal chain: Bass > Defector > UAD Apollo Twin 2 Duo > Pro Tools 12 > Waves CLA76 Compressor > Ampeg B15N Amp Sim (additional on recordings two and three)
