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 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 incredible 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. The Blackice Beta Gamma Bass Amplifier includes a complete recording chain emulation and our custom design noise gate circuit. Works as a standalone app, AudioUnit v3 effect, or Inter-App Audio effect
