    Great go-to clean guitar amp when room/gear/mics aren't behaving and you just HAVE TO get a quality guitar part down NOW. Recommended!

    I've tried a lot of guitar amp simulators (Bias Amp, Guitar Rig, Eleven, Scuffham, etc). In my experience, it's relatively easy to find good emulations of classic higher gain guitar tones (Marshall, Mesa Boogie, etc). Bassdude is the first one I've found that , though, that does a 5 star job of rendering the warm, clean tone that you get from a valve-based Fender tweed amp like a Bassman (or Blues Deluxe) with the gain low. This thing is incredible!

    I own this amp in real life. A late 60s 50W head that has the gold flecked silver sheeting on top - just before the silver face era began. Its my favourite guitar amp for many reasons. Primarily because it doesn't really stick a sound on to anything. Every guitar's character comes to life in its own way. The amp itself is very open and just breathes. Its a bit dirty to use as a bass amp at a real world volume, but for recording and blending its also really good.
    This plug in sounds a lot like it. It even reacts to the EQ changes in the input signal in the same way. Im not sure why it includes a delay and not a spring reverb, it kind of makes me scratch my head a little. I get the feeling the Brainworx guys are a bit more into the metal/hard 80s rock concept of guitar. The Rockrack amp suite is that kind of thing. The JCM 800 on that is really good but I find everything else far too outside my genre pool. This amp, however, is the one. We are talking about a plug in, here, which amazes me. It doesn't sound or play or react like a plug in. Totally different level of quality than Guitar Rig or whatever else I have...

    I tried almost all virtual guitar amplifiers - Amplitube, S-Gear, BIAS, Waves PRS, all others from PA, Guitar Rig 5, stuff from Softube etc. but, in my humble opinion this one is by far the best.
    So mix ready, great character, awesome drive, amazing clean, big, open - amazing!
    Thank you PA. You made my life easy!

    A very cool plugin with a special edge. From SRV to bassmaniac. And it works also great in the mix! Thanks.!

  • Bass Dude is the dude

    I love this plug-in. To me, Bass Dude feels like I'm plugging into an amp. I use a control surface in the first place so tweaking knobs probably adds to that experience but this plug-in does feel quite natural and it simply sounds fantastic. As an HD user, I also appreciate that it comes in AAX DSP. At it's normal price, it's a bargain. I happened to pick it up on sale and used a coupon to get it for a ridiculously low price. I have a bunch of amp sims that do all kinds of things but this one is the one I now go to when i feel like all I want to do is plug into an amp. The fringe benefit of it being virtual is just the icing on the cake. I love it and would highly recommend it.

  • Classic Fender Sound!

    I love this amp plugin and is used in most of my productions on either guitar or bass. Sounds great on both! Classic Fender sound with that chime on the clean tones that Fender is famous for :)

    Bassdude is quickly becoming my number one choice for smooth, creamy, clean tones. As with all the PA guitar sims, the addition of a host of signal chain impulse responses adds a tremendous amount of flexibility to the sound.
