VST Bass Amp

You can select your amplifier/cabinet combination using the Amp Model and Speaker Model pop-up menus.

Amp Model

The amplifiers available on the Amp Model pop-up menu are modeled on real-life amplifiers. Each amp features settings typical for bass recording, such as gain, equalizers, and master volume. The sound-related parameters bass, low mid, high mid, and treble have a significant impact on the overall character and sound of the corresponding amp.

• Valve Amp 300 is a famous tube amplifier from the 70s. It is suitable for rock playing styles.

• Greyhound is well known for its typical growl. It is suitable for several playing styles.

• Green T is a classic amplifier from the 80s. It is suitable for funk and rock playing styles.

• Paradise is an amplifier from the 90s with a hifi-like clear tone that makes it applicable for several styles.

• Tweed is a classic vintage amplifier from the 50s with a characterful and bright tone.

• iTech is a modern amplifier with a universal sound.

Speaker Model

The cabinets available on the Speaker Model pop-up menu simulate real-life combo boxes or speakers.

• 4x10 emulates four 10" speakers. These speakers provide a punchy, clear sound that is suitable for “slap” bass and regular playing styles.

• 8x10 emulates the sound of eight 10" speakers.

• 4x12 emulates the sound of four 12" speakers. These speakers provide a mellow and full sound, making them a good choice between 10" and 15" speakers.

• 1x15 emulates the sound of a 15" speaker. These speakers provide more low frequencies, compared to the other models. They are suitable for rock and vintage-oriented styles.
