Welcome to the THICCest of THICC bass tones. Say hello to, The Growler!
The Growler is an all-in-one bass plugin suite that delivers a wide range of incredible bass tones. Whether you're looking for something more natural or full on nasty, The Growler has you covered. What's more, is it super quick and easy to use.
Here's an overview of it's current feature set:
• Input – Use this to increase or decrease the overall distortion. Turning down the input will hit the distortion circuit with less gain, resulting in less distortion. Turning it up does just the opposite.
• Gate – Sets the threshold for the built-in noise gate to cut out unwanted signal noise.
• Output – Use this to compensate for any additional gain added from the Input or other processing doen within the plugin.
• Mix – Want to blend a bit of your DI signal in with the processed signal? This is where you'll do that.
• Bass & Treble – This two band shelf style EQ is super power and can actually act as if it was a 3 band EQ. For example, if you want more midrange content, simply pull back the Bass and Treble settings and turn up the Output. Or, if you want less midrange, simply do the opposite.
• Bypass – Bypasses the entire plugin. Switching the Bypass on will result in only the original DI signal coming out.
• Growl – Adds low-end distortion and that highly sought after THICCness. Turning it off reduces the low-end distortion and will basically be the DI signal but this can change dpending on how you use the Input knob.
• Hot – Adds top-end distortion for a more aggressive sound. Turning this off will still result in some distortion but it will be very minimul. You can use the Input knob to either add a touch more or less distortion overall.
• Impulse Responses – We teamed up with Airis Effects to provide 9 incredible bass IRs built in to the plugin. These 9 Airis Effects IRs all offer a unqie tonal characteristic. Flip through them and hear just how different, but also amaizng, they all sound. Have your own bass IRs you want to use? No problem, just turn the built in IR loader off by selecting the "No IR" option from the dropdown menu and then use you're own external IR loader to load up whatever IRs you want.
