DJAA MAASTA

DJAA MAASTA is the lowest tuned guitar virtual instrument, now with double tracking.

A bit about it:

Over the last few years, the Jazzmaster Baritone guitar has grown in popularity, and a bit of infamy with it's "Antigua finish". Given Otto Audio's ethos of heavy, low, heavier, what better time to bring this to the forefront?
Say hello to your new go to, Djaa Maasta, for uniquely heavy tones in your mixes and tracks. This sampled Squier Jazzmaster Baritone was setup in C#1 Standard & then was tracked down all the way to F#0 -- That's a chuggernaut of 22 steps down from E Std on a regular guitar... & 7 steps lower than the lowest tuned guitar sample library in the world.

Other Specs:

• Optimized sample library method while retaining HI-FI quality: most libraries are 30-50gb, Djaa Maasta is 8.5gb. Fast load times, saves hard drive space.
• Setup with Stringjoy Bass VI strings.
• Mogami Gold cable for highest possible fidelity, Low-Capacitance and Low-Series Resistance which results in improved frequency response.
• Rupert Neve RNDI Box for ideal transient response preservation with no compression and perfectly phase centered.
• MIDAS Preamps.
• All of this to obtain the highest quality RAW DI guitar signal from the Djaa Maasta.
• Based on the Squier JazzMaster Baritone with a 30" scale length.
