Good point. I liked the sound, but it wasn't quite what I was after. That and the "clean boost" was a crock of shit, it added a subtle nasty clip even with the level low and changed the tone of the signal.

I don't see anything called a "Drivemaster" on ebay.

All of my favorite distortion sounds I'd like to achieve seem to be done with Marshalls. What would make my Bassman sond like a Marshall? Think Placebo's "Scared of Girls."
when i was using the bassman rig, i employed a boss od3 and a marhsall blues breaker ii to approximate different marshall tones. od3 on low will get old school crunch; bb2 can yield a more modern overdrive. put them them together, and you get that ultra-high gain marshall sound.
