Developed by Acustica in collaboration with N4 SoundDrops, the Graphite bass amp emulator is fully endorsed by GR Bass, one of the most innovative and dynamic Italian bass amp and enclosure manufacturers.
This is the first Acqua plug-in in VST, VST3, AAX, AU formats, fully tailored to the needs of bassists,
and one of the most authentic and modern sounding bass amp plug-ins on the market today.
Graphite includes:
GR Bass One head emulation
An emulation of the AT 212 carbon fiber bass enclosure (2×12 inches), sampled with four different classic microphones,
each selected and installed by pro audio experts.
Our goal was to recreate as accurately as possible the sound of the GR Bass One head combined with the AT 212 enclosure,
also produced by GR Bass. The head was designed according to the “pure sound” philosophy,
delivering realistic sound with natural transparency. The AT 212 is the lightest 2×12” bass cabinet
available in the world: it is part of the revolutionary AeroTech series and is an example of the incredible technical achievements
that GR Bass has achieved with its line of carbon fiber cabinets.
