Bass effect pedals are critical for the tone that gives power, build a solid foundation for a track’s groove, and to a bigger extent; great sounding mixes and masters. In order to achieve this result without losing the original character of the bass, it is important to use a plugin with good analog modeling. This type of technology is critical in retaining the essential bass frequencies while also preserving the unique tone of the original instrument, allowing for a more nuanced and authentic sound.
Bandung, Indonesia – Kuassa, software company specializing in creating high-quality digital audio plugins for guitarists, producers, and audio engineers, is proud to announce the release of three new bass distortion effect pedals as part of their second generation of Efektor products. Following the success of Efektor Whammo and Efektor Harmonitron, the new Efektor Bass Cruncher Preamp, Bass Smasher Distortion, and Bass Driver Preamp pedals offer a full spectrum of distorted bass tones to achieve tonal varieties, add bites, and solid aggression to bass tracks.
While these pedals are developed specifically for bass guitar, they are versatile enough to use on any low-frequency instrument, from synths to percussion and even vocals. As with all the newer generation Kuassa products, the second-generation Efektor series models a more specific effect type, feature sets and improved GUI framework.
“Bass effect pedals are critical for the tone that gives power, build a solid foundation for a track’s groove, and to a bigger extent; great sounding mixes and masters,” said Adhitya Wibisana, Technical Director of Kuassa. “Distortion and saturation effects add upper harmonic content to the original sound, resulting in a fuller and richer tone. However, in order to achieve this result without losing the original character of the bass, it is important to use a plugin with good analog modeling. This type of technology is critical in retaining the essential bass frequencies while also preserving the unique tone of the original instrument, allowing for a more nuanced and authentic sound.“
The VST/VST3/AU/AAX/A360 version of Efektor Bass Cruncher Preamp, Bass Smasher Distortion, and Bass Driver Preamp are available to purchase from Kuassa’s website or selected resellers. The MSRP is $19 each, with a special intro price of $9 valid until March 31st, 2023.
Additionally, a bundle of all three pedals is available for an MSRP of $39, with an intro price of $25.
