Nembrini Audio has announced a new take on an old favourite, the SansAmp Bass Driver. We have the details.

For more than thirty years the original SansAmp Bass Driver D.I. from Tech 21* has had a reputation as an essential tool for bass players. The clever design of this key pedal simulates the authentic sound of a tube stack and offers big vintage tube tones, bright modern slap sounds, gnarly distortions and everything in between.

The new Nembrini Audio Bass Driver extends the possibilities of the original, allowing users to sculpt their bass tones even more to give beautiful contemporary textures and balance.

The main features of the new plugin include three band distortion / overdrive sections blended with two crossover parametric tone equalization and Presence for upper harmonic content. For maximum control, there is a nine band graphic equalizer with proportional Q. Four selected bass guitar cab emulations, four mic simulations with position and distance controls, a parallel D.I. pre / post amplifier with EQ controls and desk compressor work together to provide boundless sound variations. Plus the Impulse Loader lets users load up to two third party impulse responses, blend them together and mix with the D.I. pre / post. Bass Driver’s Bass Enhancer circuit is inspired by Little Labs Voice of God* to increase bass low end and its Noise Gate has been bass optimized.

Available at an introductory offer of $39.99 (Normally $137) for a limited period only
