Busy One Jump (Pearce BC-1 preamp (jumped))

Released With Helix Version 2.20
Busy One Jump, the Helix model of a Pearce BC-1 preamp (jumped)

Recorded using the default amp and cab settings for this model. The performance was recorded using an ESP "The Surveyor" bass using both J and P bass pickups set all the way on. A little touch of reverb added for depth. All Helix bass amp demos use the same performance, for easy comparison.

The Pearce BC-1 Bass Preamp is well known as Billy Sheehan's preferred unit. It contains two separate channels, that can also be "jumped" for a third channel.

This model emulates the tone of "jumping" channel 1 and channel 2 together, and includes a power amp stage which is not on the original unit.
