Dirty bass A1 patch?

Anyone have any newb tips for programming a dirty bass patch for the A1? Mine always end up sounding a little thin.

Try a square wave mixed with a sine sub, and the ladder filter with middle resonance and low cut off (75 to 120 Hz). Maybee some drice on the filter. And a very fast LFO on the mix of the 2 OSC (or on the filter freq).
Actual synth: Nord Modular G2 - Nord Stage 3 73 - Virus Ti2 - Peak - Prophet 6
Before: Nord Lead 3 & 4, Stage 1&2, Wave, Virus C, DSI Tetra, P12, and few others...

There is an interesting trick I recently learned and which works well on my Prophet rev2, would be curious how this works for A1 (I am not at it now to test it):
In one of the slots, take a sawtooth and use the hi-pass filter with no or slight (experiment with that) key-tracking, cut-off freq all the way to the left and turn up resonance. This resonance will now boost the lower edge of the frequency range.
