Just tried it with my Fender Precision. Didn’t like it. Put my Jazzmaster through it. Pretty nice. 
I’m away to order an AC30 now. 

I'd just use ToneX.  There are quite a few excellent AC30 profiles (of different eras).

And there are many variations of what an AC30 is.  A pre-top boost AC30 isnt' anything like a modern AC30, etc.

No no no. I mean I’m going to order a real Vox AC30 so I can do stereo with my Fender HotRod Deluxe and this pedal I just got built :)

have yet to find a bass sim that works for me. picked up the PA B-15 when it went native but it sounds -nothing- like the one i have.

this ^^. pretty much the only reason i gave Tonex a spin.

fwiw, the only PA amp that ever got any use here is the Train II.

Have you tried any of the Bass amp captures in ToneX?  :) 

The PA B-15 can be ok with a good external IR and I always think of these things in terms of the "mic'd" sound instead of the full range of an amp which is a very different thing.  I get some use out of the PA V4B , but again external IRs can be helpful in addition to post processing.  

 

I like the Train II and was one of the only in the box sims that started to win me over, that said - some actual Wreck captures with ToneX are on a different level.

Do you have the links to specific Wreck ones and any other of your favourites in ToneX Brian? I've approached ToneX a few times, but it's been a bit hit and miss so far, but I'd like to check it out further.

Liverpool 3 is outstanding, but all of those Liverpool ones are excellent (and IMO, better than anything I heard IKM release - and I have MAX).   https://www.tone.net/tonex/users/holy_grail

 

ToneJunkie has a Express 60 paid pack I recommend on his website, but he also gave away some samples - note this is a Master Volume Trainwreck which is under the Trainwreck official name/release but it wasn't one of the 3 models Kenny made himself for public sale.

(paid version below)

https://tonejunkiestore.com/tonexcap/twreck-express-60-tonex-capture-pack

(also suggest signing up for his mailing list as he gives away free captures there that he doens't upload to tone net - this includes a full capture of a vintage AC30 from 1966, and I think a 65 Twin Reverb, also a couple profiles of a Purple Plexi and most likley a Express 60 or two)

The others are ok, but they are basically Kemper profiles - so you are getting that degridation in there and not the full capability of what ToneX can do with a direct capture:

And if you want the Train II sound (but in ToneX pedal form)

https://www.tone.net/tonex/tonemodels/19588

 

 

Also in the Wreck vein:   These of a Dr. Z Wreck Jr. are pretty awesome:

no luck the couple  of times i gave it  shot. but with ya on the "mic'd" sound.  markbass into a berg cab is working really well atm, trying to capture that w/o having to pony up for a fet47, planning to try amp out post-eq into some berg ir's, but haven't had a chance to sort that out yet (smoked the markbass, waiting on r&r).  that being said. sessions are usually just a pbass > di (redd tube/demeter) > neve channel... ?

the Softube bass amps, the Eden one in particular

thx, great suggestion, was not on my radar. played through an eden rig for a couple of years and ya, one of the best sounding ever. their 4x10 is still my goto when I need to fill out space on a larger stage.
