Studio-Quality Compressor - Stairway to Heaven
Our studio-grade compressor is based on classic and famous studio equipment from the 70’s.
This totally transparent and musical compressor design allows your full dynamic range to shine
through until your signal reaches the compression threshold, which is indicated by the highly visible
status LED. The compressor increases sustain and gently smoothens out signal peaks, which is
especially handy when you’re laying down the funk, à la slap and pop – or hammering home your
most-aggressive metal lines. Theresulting output level lets you unleash powerful and impact-laden
bass lines, while still sitting right where you need to be in the mix!
MOSFET Preamp - High-Voltage, High-Headroom Tube Sound
BUGERA’s revolutionary high-voltage MOSFET preampli er rede nes solid-state bass tone, providing
the sound, feel and immense dynamics of an authentic tube amp. Like with real vacuum tubes, our new
MOSFET design equally operates at high voltages, providing this preamp with unheard of headroom to
honor all of your playing dynamics; from your subtly-nuanced signature ri s and bass lines, toyour most
powerful, attention-grabbing solos. TheULTRABASS BXD15A is all about tone, and this highly-versatile
and responsive MOSFET preamp provides an abundance of headroom for consistently crystal-clear and
faithful sound reproduction – no matter what style of music your gig calls for.
DYNAMIZER Technology - The Secret Weapon
What is known as Parallel Compression or “New York” compression, is a dynamic range compression
technique used as a secret weapon in high-end sound recording and mixing. Parallel compression
is achieved by mixing an unprocessed “dry”, or lightly compressed, signal with a heavily compressed
version of the same signal. Rather than bringing down the highest peaks for the purpose of dynamic
gain reduction, it reduces the dynamic range by bringing up the softest sounds, adding audible detail.
It is most often used on stereo percussion buses in recording and mixdown, on electric bass, and on
vocals in recorded and live concert mixes.
Now this amazing technology is available to you! We have integrated parallel compression in our
DYNAMIZER technology to provide you with tone and dynamics that are unheard of to date. Byworking
directly with the ampli er, our DYNAMIZER technology adds incredible detail and powerful, fat punch,
so your sound is always impeccable, whether you’re playing super-soft – or at the extreme volume
levels that push a dB-meter to the max! DYNAMIZER allows you to take full advantage of every single
Watt of your ampli er!
