BDH 66o6+

Devilishly Heavy

Devilishly heavy 'Sixty-Six-Oh-Six' is based on a hot-rodded and modified “plus” version, which was originally a later generation of the amp from around 2000.

The modifications ordered by Jens make this amp breathe, spit and bite in a way that is the opposite of stale modern high-gain amps.

It’s truly one of a kind — a sound you will not find anywhere else!

Go Into Overdrive!

Need a boost? Every amp in the BDH collection includes a pedal switch, activated with the push of a button on the plugin’s front panel.

The pedal will effectively tighten up the lo-end and drive the input a bit harder. For heavy riffing, this would be the ideal default mode.

Record Your Ideas

When inspiration strikes, every second counts before that golden riff is gone forever.

With Ampknob, you can capture your ideas quickly and easily without even starting a DAW. The standalone version of Ampknob includes a built-in recording functionality that makes it effortless to always stay creative.

A scratch book has never been this inspiring!

Stay In Time, Stay In Tune

The standalone version of Ampknob now comes with a built-in metronome for you to stay sharp at your guitar playing skills.

Change meter, accent, or set automatic speed increments so you can focus on practicing without even taking your hands off the guitar.

The excellent built-in tuner means you're always ready to jam!

The Perfect Tone

The perfect speaker cabinet, microphones, and recording chain has been expertly chosen and dialed in by producer Jens Bogren to capture the tone with outstanding detail.

If you feel like experimenting, you can disable the cab or even load your favorite impulse response right from the plugin.

Why Just One Knob?

AmpKnob was designed with two clear goals:

1. Give you the best tone available in a plugin.

2. Help you focus on creativity rather then fiddling with settings and losing your ideas.

AmpKnob captures iconic, high-gain amps perfectly dialed in by one of the best metal producers in the world.

Ampeg SVT-VR

THE Bass Amp. Period.

Drum Roll Please.. Let the Bass Begin!

The proven expert of bass amplification, the original all-tube Ampeg SVT-VR bass giant, is now available in all major native and AAX DSP formats. Built by Brainworx from the ground up, this exacting emulation of the original 300-Watt amplifier along with its equally well known 8X10 cabinet, the SVT-VR was Ampeg’s ambition to create the, ‘biggest, nastiest bass amplifier the world has ever seen.” Throughout history, the SVT-VR has proven itself time and time again across many genres, with unrivaled power and heavy tones.

Get Your Bass On Demand

And now, you can join the ranks of Bootsy Collins, Darryl Jones, Michael Bradford and Chris Wyse along with thousands of other bassists who have looked to the SVT-VR for all of their bass needs for decades. The story of the SVT began in 1969 when Ampeg changed the game of bass amplification with the release of their Super Valve Technology titan. Featuring six(!) 6550 power tubes and a killer 8x10 speaker cabinet, the amp quickly became the go-to choice for all those seeking to fill small and large venues with a massive low end. The amp’s tone is equally effective across the frequency spectrum, delivering a roaring low end, punchy mids and a pleasant high end. The Ampeg SVT-VR plugin contains all of the raw energy and punchiness of the original hardware, bringing this bass bad boy right into your DAW.

What's Included?

Inside we have access to the preamp, the power section, and even rocker switches that offer the exact signal path, tone, and vibe of the original hardware. The SVT-VR is an absolute must-have for anyone that wants to get that classic thumping Ampeg bass tone. The SVT-VR runs with two channels spread over four inputs along with a 3-band EQ on Channel One and a simpler 2-band EQ on Channel Two. Our native version also comes with Brainworx’s well-known FX rack that offers a noise gate, power soak and pre/post switchable Hi-Pass&Low-Pass filters. The rack wouldn’t be complete without a great collection of recording chains that were crafted through a Neve VXS72 Console, using classic vintage mics, various cabinets and a selection of boutique outboard gear.

Whatever your bass sounds desire, the Ampeg SVT-VR is ready.

Features

• Exacting emulation of the world’s most beloved bass amp
• Fully endorsed by Ampeg!
• “Ultra Hi,” “Ultra Lo” and, for Channel 1, a “Bass Cut” switch and a midrange frequency select switch for crafting midrange timbre around either 220Hz, 800Hz or 3k center frequency
• Record and reamp with maximum beefiness and unmatched tube tone of the SVT-VR bass amp
• FX Rack includes a noise gate, tight and smooth filters, Power Soak and a horn On/Off function for the cabinets
• 23 Recording Chains with multiple speaker cabinets recorded in a state of the art NEVE equipped studio

Smasher

A faithful emulation of a uniquely modified 1176

All Buttons In, All the Time

Smasher is an unprecedented custom modification of the classic Urei 1176 compressor circuit, a unique formula that the Pulsar team stumbled upon while fine-tuning other algorithms.

The original 1176 compressor hardware offered a selection of four ratios, but studio engineers soon discovered that pressing them all at once led to a distorted, explosive and highly compressed sound. It’s this “All buttons in” or “British” mode that Smasher was painstakingly designed to recreate.

While remaining very close to the original circuitry, the modifications Pulsar have built into Smasher will add definition to transients and make your tone more aggressive. Pulsar love using it to enhance the ambience in drum busses, but there are many more creative uses too. Smasher won’t work on every single track, but where it does, it works magic.

Smasher excels at raw and gritty sounds, calling to mind bands like Vulfpeck, The Whitefield Brothers and The Black Keys.

Why It's Unique

Based on an internal feedback configuration, FET compressor designs like the Urei 1176 are known for their super-quick attack times and a colourful tonal response that ranges from soft limiting to heavy saturation.

When running in all-buttons-in mode, several things happen to the 1176’s circuit, including changes to the bias voltages. In Smasher, all these phenomena have been perfectly reproduced for the first time using Pulsar's proprietary Topology Preservation Technology, bringing the full sonic capability of this classic effect to your DAW.

With its unique tuning and beautiful, uncomplicated interface, Smasher gives this mythical circuit a new personality.

How does it sound?

Smasher can add thickness and grit to any drum or bass track, or completely crush a bus, producing an aggressive sound that’s impossible to achieve with other plugins.

• On a drum buss: Smasher imbues drum mixes with the typical sound of the 1176’s all-buttons-in mode. You get that signature delayed transient squashing and an explosive sound which instantly propels your drums to the front of the mix.
• On a snare drum: Add body and sustain to bring out a snare’s tone. Try thickening your snare drum by reaching between -6 and -10dB of gain reduction, then mix a few percent of the resulting huge snare drum sound back into your original dry sound.
• On a bass: Since bass often requires a combination of compression and saturation, Smasher is the ideal tool to get it dirty, letting you control precisely how much grit to add. Use the Mix knob to add just a small amount of fuzzy saturation.
• On lead vocals: Please don’t try this at home.

Main Features

Topology Preservation Technology

Pulsar's proprietary modelling technology guarantees a perfect emulation of the original 1176’s behaviour. From the saturation of the magnetic flux in the inductors to the precise response of the transistors and the tiny calibration effects, everything is perfectly reproduced.

Low CPU Consumption

Pulsar have spent ages optimizing Smasher to consume as few system resources as possible while keeping the same complex sonic results. Smasher takes full advantage of modern CPUs to do more with less but also allows oversampling at rates up to 384kHz.

Parallel Compression

Smasher’s Mix knob lets you blend in the original unprocessed signal. This means that you can really squash the transients with extreme compression, then bring back just a hint of the processed signal to add sustain to a sound without compromising its dynamic qualities.

Linked Sidechain

On a stereo bus, channels are usually compressed independently to get smoother control of dynamics… but when you’re compressing audio more brutally, it’s essential to keep the stereo image stable. That’s why Smasher uses a single detector to process a stereo track.

Green Reaper GR9

Analogue Modelled Vintage Overdrive Plugin

The first incarnation of the Tube Screamer series, the TS-808, was first released in the 1979 and hand-wired by MAXON® engineers, who have been Ibanez’s production partners until 2002.

This pedal quickly became wildly popular due to its ability to deliver one of the smoothest and most responsive overdrive tones ever with just three controls. That’s why, still today, this is one of the most cloned and modified pedals ever.

Audiority carefully modelled the original pedal and added some goodies, including several modified versions of the circuit, to further shape your guitar tone.

Features

• Analog Modelled Overdrive
• Drive, Tone and Level controls
• Pre and Post effect gain
• Mix control
• Noise Gate
• 12 different circuit types
• “To Amp” output mode
• Resizable interface

Efektor Bass Driver

Extended Range, Tonal Shaping Bass Preamp

Inspired by a renowned bass DI unit, Efektor Driver provides an extensive range of tonal shaping capabilities to satisfy your interest in low and deep sounds. Bring out vintage tube tone, glow up your slap, or just add an extra dirt without sacrificing the bottom end.

Introducing Kuassa's newest addition to the second generation of Efektor products: Bass Cruncher Preamp, Bass Smasher Distortion, and Bass Driver Preamp pedals. As bass players themselves, they understand the importance of having a reliable set of pedals to achieve a variety of distorted bass tones. That’s why they developed these pedals specifically for bass guitar, with the ability to also use them on any low-frequency instrument, from synths to percussion and even vocals.

Their second-generation Efektor series models a more specific effect type, feature sets, and an improved GUI framework. They’ve worked hard to ensure these pedals offer a full spectrum of distorted bass tones to achieve tonal varieties, add bites, and solid aggression to bass tracks. Their aim is to create a set of pedals that retain the original character of the bass while also adding upper harmonic content to the sound, resulting in a fuller and richer tone.

Bass effect pedals are critical for building a solid foundation for a track’s groove, and to a bigger extent; great sounding mixes and masters. That’s why they’ve used our latest analog modeling researches in these pedals, to retain the essential bass frequencies and preserve the unique tone of the original instrument. So whether you’re playing in the studio or on stage, these pedals will give you the power and versatility you need to create the perfect bass tone.

Don’t wait. Get your hands on the new Efektor Bass pedals today and start creating the perfect bass tone!
