Description
Bass Deluxe is a virtual tube bass amplifier from Lostin70s Audio, combining amp and cabinet modeling with effects for shaping an electric bass signal. It brings a range of bass tones into one plugin, from a rounded amp character to more driven sounds.
The two channels each have compression, drive and a nine-band graphic equalizer. Set up contrasting sounds and switch between them, using the presence control to bring out the detail of your playing.
A pedalboard accommodates six effects, including a Tone Drive designed for bass. Four cabinet models provide different speaker characters, with the developer listing 1x15, 8x10 and 4x10 configurations.
A built-in beatbox and looper make the plugin useful for practice as well as tone shaping. Play against a rhythm, capture an idea, and adjust the amp controls without leaving the interface.
The developer lists version 1.3.0 for Windows and macOS, with VST3 on Windows and AU on Mac. Check the published requirements before installing, since older directories list different formats and versions.
