Re: Tech 21 dUg Ultra Bass 1000
I went on tech 21's site and did some reading up on this amp. It's not just a Tech 21 bass amp with some voicing tweaks based on dUg's input. Check this out.
There's the option to just run through one channel and get a conventional bass amp tone, but the amp is designed to be able to run the two channels in parallel, where one is clean and the other can be overdriven.

It was designed in collaboration with dUg to create a single amp capable of achieving the unique sound he developed by running a guitar amp and a bass amp together, plus using a handful of effects, to merge high-end distortion with low-end bass.
There is an unconventional structure to the channels. Rather than switching from one channel to the other, the intent is to use both channels mixed or Channel 2 by itself. Channel 1 handles the role of a distorted guitar amp and Channel 2 provides a clean pre-amp and compressor for a more conventional bass amp sound. Mixed together, you get dUg.
In addition to changing channels, the included Footswitch controls the MIX function, which simultaneously engages both channels.
