Get the Legendary Sound of a Rockstar-Approved Bass Amp

Used on countless hit records by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Radiohead, No Doubt, Guns n’ Roses, and more, the Gallien-Krueger 800RB quickly became the industry standard with its punchy articulation. Developed by Brainworx, the Gallien-Krueger 800RB Bass Amp plug-in provides an exacting emulation of the original amp, along with versatile modern features.

Track with the Industry Standard

Like the original hardware, GK's patented voicing filters give you classic EQ profiles in the low, mid, and high frequencies, and its 4‑band active EQ lets you dial in your ideal tone with precision and ease.

Fine Tune with Two Power Amps

The Gallien‑Krueger 800RB plug‑in emulates the original hardware’s bi‑amplified architecture, providing two different power amps ‑ one for the lows and one for the highs. An adjustable crossover allows you to control which frequencies go to which power amp, and each has a master volume knob, making it easy to dial in.

Play "Through" a Legendary Bass Amp with Unison™ Technology for Apollo

Harnessing UA’s groundbreaking Unison technology for Apollo interfaces, the Gallien‑Krueger 800RB Bass Amplifier plug‑in gives you the impedance, gain staging, and circuit behaviors that make this iconic tone machine one of the most recorded bass amps in history.

Take your Tones Further with FX Rack

The FX Rack features an onboard noise gate, Power Soak, and EQ filter controls, allowing you to put the finishing touches on your tones. Plus, its 64 Recording Chain presets give you the ultimate in flexibility, with an endless combination of vintage mics, cabinets, and outboard gear.

    This covers a lot of ground

    Very flexible plugin, will help you get clean uncompressed undistorted bass sound quick. You get to select two IRs at the time which along with all the controls gives you a ton of options. I am still looking for a dirty bass amp, if you are also looking for one this one is not it. I highly recommend this pluggin

    Brilliant bit of Kit

    A colleague of mine recommended Gallien Krueger Bass Amp software. It has the sound characters that I have been looking for and is now my main go to plugin for all my guitar recording needs. In my opinion UAD and their products are brilliant. If you are working in the box or any live or studio environments you must include UAD in you arsenal.

    Simply brilliant

    Blown Away!

    I am really digging this plugin. I have never really been a fan of most amp plugins but this has really brought my bass to life. You can get smooth and clean or down right raunchy with this thing.

    Another great emulation from UA

    Basses sound punchy and have great definition, just like the hardware GK amps.

    Very pleasing

    I was not familiar with playing GK amps, but heard that they had punch, and had solid articulation up the neck. I just finished a project where the instrument was a Bass VI, and this plugin sounded great and mixed really well.

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.
