Four Vintage Mic Signals
Each microphone position offers a distinct tonal character, allowing you to blend multiple signals for a customized sound: Direct Signal – A clean and balanced tone, serving as the instrument’s default setting. Ribbon Mic – Warm and rich, with deep low-mid frequencies for a classic vintage feel. Dynamic Mic – Stronger low-end presence with added bite, perfect for driving bass lines.
Warped Signal – From 1968 to 2068
This unique “Warped” signal path manipulates the original bass samples through bending, shifting, and processing, resulting in lo-fi, textured, and character-rich sounds. You can use it independently for a distorted, gritty tone or blend it with the mic signals for a layered effect.
