Hi guys, i'm searching a bass distortion vst plugin .
Something like bass Zoom pedal or Ibanez but in software way.
There is any very good plugin for bass distortion?

Thanks and have a nice day

The Simulanalog suite will cover your needs.

If you want to spend money then you will not find better than Izotope's Trash.

Has anyone tried modelling a Pro-Co Rat anywhere (maybe AT2, or GR2)? As far as stomp boxes go I know quite a few people (myself included) who consider that guitar stomp box to be the bass distortion of choice.

if you'll pardon the self promotion, check out my effect metallurgy too. i had bass and drums in mind when i was making the distortion. here's an mp3 that shows one of the bass distortion presets.

metallurgy-groove-demo-1.mp3
the first time through is dry, the second time has got a seperate instance of metallurgy on each part.

also check out the free fuzzplus 2 by audio damage.

This is a rather good stomp box simulator. With Blockfish (which has saturation as well as compression) and some sort of eq (like classic eq) and Boogex for speaker simulation you can create a decent and flexible bassguitar channel strip for free.

I just downloaded it ugo, usually I'm not a big fan of distortion on bass (but then this time it will be you playing which will likely make a huge difference...

). I like bass guitar to be clean and powerful...you know that sound where you can really hear the round wounds and it's just so crisp and punchy? But I constantly change "rules", so I'll listen to it tonight and get back to you...

i typically go for the bright, clean powerfull tone too. (DR roundwounds on everything here, main bass right now is a modulus.) but when i get into effects i love filters, some nasty distortions, and of course chorus on a fretless. (edit: truth be told, when i get into effects on bass, i'll use all kinds of stuff. this track consists of only and 8 string and a boat load of effects.)

previously, when in need of distortions, i had just been using my bass pod XT, but when making metallurgy i thought it would be fun for me to tweak it for bass and give myself some new tones to work with.

btw, this track uses an 8 string run through the bass pod's distortion. the slap part uses the bass pod's overdrive too. i cant quite remember what presets i used though.

so I'll listen to it tonight and get back to you...

cool, let me know. i'd be curious to hear what you think.

i've got a couple of fun envelope filter presets in there too.

ps. my apologies to neverexists for my drifting off the thread topic.
