Overview

Bass that sits and stays.

CLA Bass is Chris Lord-Alge's bass chain in one plugin, six effects tuned specifically for electric and synth bass. Each offers three modes rather than continuous controls, so a sound arrives in a few decisions instead of a long tweak. The range runs from a sub-bass boost that shifts air in a room to a hard, growling distortion, with stereo chorus, widening and spreading available when the part needs to sit wider than dead centre.

Highlights

Six modules: Bass, Treble, Compress, Distortion, Reverb and Delay
Stepped Thin, Normal and Full positions per module for fast, committed decisions
Distortion adds harmonic edge so the bass reads on small speakers
Compression tuned for rock and pop bass, tightening without pumping
Two reverb and two delay characters for depth without wash
Preset list built from Chris Lord-Alge's own bass settings
Mono and stereo components
Included in the CLA Signature Series bundle
