BIG (Bass Integrated Gain) by AcmeBarGig is not just a plugin, it’s a complete virtual studio for processing your bass signal. This powerful suite combines a carefully modeled amplifier and a set of effects designed to achieve maximum flexibility and control over every nuance of your performance. Designed with the most demanding musicians and sound engineers in mind, BIG provides unprecedented opportunities to shape a unique bass timbre.
Advanced Functionality and Flexibility of BIG
Unlimited tonal sculpting possibilities
BIG is designed for in-depth customization of your bass tone, allowing you to control every element of the sound chain.
- Two emulated tube preamps based on classic 12AX7 tubes. Each preamp can be turned on/off independently, which opens up endless possibilities for combining their characteristics and obtaining a unique “warm” or “bright” tone.
- A high-precision Tonestack equalizer, which allows you not only to correct frequencies, but also to shape the overall “character” of the amplifier, reproducing the interaction of the components of the real equipment.
Integrated arsenal of effects
The plugin includes several essential effects, seamlessly integrated into the overall workflow, allowing you to get a finished sound without using third-party plugins.
- Effective Noise Gate: an indispensable tool for maintaining signal clarity, automatically removing background noise and hum, especially when using high gain settings. Your playing will remain clear and articulated even at maximum volume.
- Phoenix Compressor: a signature solution from AcmeBarGig for professional control of dynamic range. Provides a dense, even bass sound, while preserving its natural attack and sustain, which is critical for punchy and expressive bass.
Exclusive AcmeBarGig technologies
BIG is based on innovative technologies developed by AcmeBarGig, which give the plugin unique capabilities.
- “Gut” technology: a real breakthrough in amplifier modeling. Allows you to deeply customize the internal circuit of the amplifier, changing the parameters of crossovers and filters. This allows you not only to imitate, but to *create* a sound character close to legendary bass amplifiers, adapting them to your own needs.
- Innovative Cabinet Shaper: AcmeBarGig’s proprietary technology for realistic emulation of bass cabinet sound. It can reproduce the characteristics of almost any configuration of speakers and the body, adding physical presence to the sound. Can be disabled to use third-party impulse responses (IR), giving you complete freedom of choice.
- “Whisper” mode: a separate amplifier channel with crystal clear sound and extremely flexible equalizer. Ideal for getting transparent, but voluminous bass parts, where maximum clarity and articulation are needed.
- Ability to bypass any section: each component of the plugin (gate, compressor, preamps, cabinet) can be disabled independently. This allows you to use BIG as separate effects or seamlessly integrate it into an existing processing chain, using only the necessary elements.
Centralized preset management
BIG is equipped with a convenient and powerful preset manager that greatly simplifies the workflow.
- The manager allows you to easily save, organize, and quickly load your favorite settings for different songs or styles.
- Web integration allows you to share presets with a large community of AcmeBarGig users, expanding your sound palette and finding new ideas for sound.
Whether you’re creating a dense fundamental bass for rock, adding a funky groove with a characteristic “click”, or experimenting with modern electronic genres, BIG (Bass Integrated Gain) by AcmeBarGig will provide you with all the necessary tools to realize any creative idea. Thanks to the deep customization options, unique technologies, and integrated high-quality effects, this plugin will become an indispensable element of your arsenal for professional bass work.
