    Lots of control to get your bass sounding just right

    I tested several UAD Bass amp emulations and ended up with svt-3pro and Gallien Krueger, between these two I can get any bass sound I am looking for. svt has the EQ and tube drive and Gallen has ability to use two IR cabinets at the same time. I tested other bass amp sims and they all sound similar the IRs change the sound more than the amp. Also I am having hard time dialing in good slightly distorted bass tones but I am sure I get there with more experimentation.

    Great quality amp

    The model sounds great, I record a 6-string bass guitar with it. The cabinet and microphone combinations are very versatile, and in bi-amp mode, with the signal doubled, it offers truly diverse possibilities.

    New to me and very impressive

    I have most of my Ampeg experience with the old SVT and the B-15, but I took advantage of a UA sale and added this plugin. I like it very much and find the much more granular EQ a real asset when recording a 6 string bass.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you’ll need an Apollo audio interface, UAD-2 Satellite, or UAD-2 PCIe card to run these plug-ins, using the onboard DSP. The plug-ins run on the hardware itself, without adding strain to your computer’s CPU. In an Apollo, onboard DSP processing allows you to run realtime UAD plug-ins with near-zero latency, and even record that processing directly to your DAW.

This refers to the number of SHARC DSP processors in Apollo and UAD-2 hardware. A DUO core system has twice the amount of processing power compared to a SOLO core system. More SHARC DSP cores increases the number of UAD-2 plug-ins you can run on the hardware.

No, Satellites provide DSP to run UAD-2 plug-ins in your DAW.

Yes, you can start a fully functional 14-day demo from any plug-in bundled with the UAD software. Simply click “Start Demo”, and start using it in your DAW.

UAD-2 licenses follow the hardware, it does not matter which computer they are connected to. You can have up to six UAD-2 devices registered to a system in your Universal Audio account, which share those licenses. See UAD-2 Plug-In Licensing Explained for full details. Authorisation of UAD-2 hardware is managed by the UAD Meter & Control Panel Application.
