Nembrini Audio has announced the release of the Blackice Beta Gamma Bass Amplifier, a new Audio Unit, VST plug-in and AAX plug-in for macOS and Windows.
On Apple Store it's available for iOS in AuV3 format.
Here's what they say:
The most modern bass tones are characterized by a dynamic and complex sound obtained using different tools and recording techniques.
For this reason Nembrini Audio has decided to create the Blackice Beta Gamma Bass Amplifier plugin based on a modern-classic 900 watt bass guitar head and complete it with a virtual recording chain worthy of the best recording studios.
This innovative bass amplifier combines a custom tuned overdrive/distortion circuit, a studio-grade VCA compressor and a flexible six band graphic equalizer.
In the amp section you can blend the clean signal with the Beta Gamma Distortion circuit that can morphs from tight and defined overdrive to raw and brutal distortion.
A custom VCA style compressor allows you to optimize the bass signal before hitting the six band graphic equalizer carefully tuned to sculpt your bass tone.
Cabinets
To obtain a great and usable modern bass sound Nembrini Audio has included an enhanced recording chain with 4 selected bass guitar cabinets and 4 microphone emulations, plus a parallel D.I. Out signal with console-style compressor that you can blend with 3 ambient sounds. When available in the selected bass cab you can also adjust the tweeter level.
Impulses Response Loader
Instead of the included bass cabs you can also use your favorite cab impulse responses utilizing our Impulses Loader that let you load up to two 3rd-parties impulse responses, blend them together and mix them with the amplifier D.I. output. A convenient browser window has been added so you can easily search through all your third parts IR files.
Bass Enhancer
Nembrini Audio has also included the Bass Enhancer circuit modeled on famous analog processors to increase your low end. This is a fundamental tool for your five strings bass guitar tone.
Intro Price: $39 until January 31st (Reg. $137).
