Trying to find a plugin from years ago... it was part of a suite of plugins, and I think it was called V Bass - it was a compressor of sorts. Does this ring any bells to anyone?

I'm looking for this too, does anyone remember it? I just need to find out what it did, I may be able to make something similar. It did something like compress harmonics? Or so it said, I imagine it's a multi band compressor.

Would this be it? The name is close, it includes a compressor and qualifies on the "years ago" criterion:

I'm not sure whether it was ever part of a suite, but several of the ViperITB plugins -- collected at Plugins4Free -- have a similar look and feel.

No that isn't it, but that's a very good guess considering the vague info to go on.

I remember the GUI being slightly bigger and more dark.

Renaissance bass ?

No it was called VBass, and is quite old, around the Cubase VST 32 days

Wasn't VBass one of the first VSTs?

This was the VB-1 )probably not what you're looking for)

Sorry no, that is an instrument, this is an effect I'm talking about.

Are you sure it is not Maxxbass ?

No, VBass. I know it wasn't made by waves.

AHA that was the first thing that popped in my head but I could not remember the name of it, only that GUI. I believe that was introduced when, or shortly after, that first VST synth Neon was included in Cubase (VST24 I think?)

I still use neon, it's utterly sick. Might just be me but you can get a nice bright sound out of it.

Well, it was worth a shot.

For a second shot in the dark, this post right here at KVR suggests Pluggotic made a VST called VBass once:

viewtopic.php?p=4068717#p4068717

The bad news is, it was described as "classic" at the time, the post is nearly 14 years old and the link is long, long dead. But it could be a thread to tug at.

Searching for an ancient plugin... V Bass?
