Operation P HX Stomp Preset

The Operation P preset is a sophisticated, parallel-processed signal chain for the HX Stomp, meticulously crafted to deliver a studio-quality vintage P-bass tone. By blending high-gain grit with a clean, compressed foundation, it captures the warm, thumping sound found on legendary 1960s and 70s recordings.

The Signal Chain:

LA Studio Comp: Provides classic optical compression to smooth out dynamics. This ensures every note has a consistent, professional weight before hitting the split.

Split Path:

• Teemah!: Adds touch-sensitive, transparent overdrive. This provides the "growl" and harmonic hair needed to cut through a dense mix without losing the core bass character.
• Script Mod Phase: Injects vintage movement and swirl, perfect for psychedelic soul or classic funk textures.

Ampeg B-15NF: The heart of the preset. This legendary "Flip Top" model delivers the round, bouncy low-end and warm tube saturation that defined the Motown and session-bass era.

Spring Reverb: Adds a subtle sense of space and air, preventing the bass from feeling too "dry" or sterile in a digital environment.

Regal Bass DI: Emulates a premium tube DI box, adding a final layer of analog-style "heft" and deep transformer warmth to the output signal.

Retro Reel: Placed at the end of the chain to simulate the natural compression and high-end roll-off of a vintage tape machine, "gluing" the entire tone together.
