DiBiQuadro released bass amp simulation 'TaurusClassic'

DiBiQuadro has announced TaurusClassic, an amplifier simulator that precisely models analog bass amplifiers.

TaurusClassic, a precision-designed plugin, now puts the vast expanse of the bass universe at your fingertips. Emulating the warm and powerful tube-driven sound of an iconic bass amplifier head, this virtual emulation offers over 300 watts of power within a digital environment.

Iconic Amp Emulation

With the original amp sampled in all its glory, TaurusClassic faithfully reproduces the full-bodied and powerful bass tones associated with classic rigs. Paired with a virtual 8×10 bass speaker cabinet, meticulously sampled using DiBiQuadro's exclusive Non-Linear sampling technique, it promises an authentic bass experience.

Non-Plus-Ultra Preamp

The Non-Plus-Ultra Preamp within TaurusClassic employs a 64-bit engine based on high-quality algorithms and recent non-linear models. The emphasis is on circuit component access, allowing users to manage gain stages, shape tone stacks, and modify tube characteristics, offering limitless possibilities.

Pwr/Cabs: Non-Linear Convolution

Tackling the limitations of conventional approaches, DiBiQuadro introduces Non-Linear Convolution (NLC) with Pwr/Cabs. This chain, comprising a tube power amp, cabinet/speaker, microphone, and high-end studio preamp, is sampled as a unified block, preserving the unique interaction between components.

Double-Precision Non-Linear Computing and Convolution (DNC+)

Under the umbrella of DNC+, DiBiQuadro's proprietary solutions bring a new philosophy, combining Double-Precision Non-Linear Computing and Convolution. The 64-bit NLC engine offers up to 40 kernels, allowing full control over power amp headroom, clipping type, and the interaction of negative feedback with Depth and Presence knobs.

The Renderer: OffLine Processing

The Renderer, a stand-alone application, processes input wave files in OffLine mode, handling configurations with high upsampling efficiently.

System Requirements

TaurusClassic is available for Windows 64-bit and MacOS 64-bit (Intel and Arm). It comes in VST3/AU 64-bit format as a plugin and as a separate Renderer in Windows/macOS executable.

DAW Compatibility

Compatible with popular DAWs such as Cockos Reaper, Presonus Studio One, Steinberg Cubase/Nuendo, Logic Pro X, Cakewalk Bandlab/Sonar, and Ableton Live, TaurusClassic seamlessly integrates into various digital audio workstations.

To install/authorize TaurusClassic, use DiBiQuadro Center. A 15-days trial version is available for testing before making a purchase via DiBiQuadro website.
