Sound samples for bassdude and particle accelerator?

Looking for sound samples for the bassdude and PA. Trying to figure out how much dirt you get from them. My plan is going to be run the nobellium which is what I need for 90% of the shows I play. Then for the others I would like a bit of gain/light dirt kind of like an ampeg svt sound where it’s just breaking up is the max I’d need. I have some fuzz and od for the more severe sounds.

I built a steady go and it’s great after by multieffect with amp/cab sim, but i wanted to go to a hardware solution. If I could get a preamp that gives me some eq before the steddi go, that would probably work too.
 
The Particle Accelerator stays clean throughout the gain range, it doesn't break up much.
The Bassdude breaks up beautifully at about 9, 10 o'clock on the gain knob. The Bassdude sounds like it will fit your needs better.
 
I did some basic gain sound clip for the bass dude. Details about the build, tubes used and the sound clip are here:

Here's my Bass Dude, sounds glorious.

I wanted the Gain to stay clean for at least 50% and then get into OD territory, so I put a 12AY7 / 6072A into V1 ... and a 7025 WA in V2, both from TAD.
Turned out pretty good, here are some notes on the E string to illustrate.

quick test of the gain range, bass and treble are always on 12 o'clock or 50%. when turning up gain, master gets adjusted (turned down).
0:00 clean
0:07 gain 9pm or 25% (master between 1 and 2 pm)
0:15 gain 12pm or 50% (master 12pm or 50 %)
0:25 gain 3pm or 75 %
0:33 gain 100% (master around...

The gain of the Dude also depends on tubes used, I opted for something "in the middle".
 
The original Bassman that the Bass Dude is based on had two 12AY7 tubes in it, I have been thinking of trying some 12AY7's in my Bass Dude as well.
It sounds great with the 12AY7 and the high speck 12AX7 tube you used in yours, I might try that as well now.
Now I have to get myself some 7025 tubes as well for experimenting with, it should sit between a 12AX7 and a 5751 tube in the gain band.
