This is great for when we want to add back some of our playing dynamics to the compressed sound or for when you want some volume back in situations where the compression starts taking away the volume.Ī High Pass Filter control – Low frequencies on a bass guitar signal normally overwhelm compressors. The Cali76 offers two more controls dedicated to us bass players.Ī Dry control – This allows us to mix in our dry, uncompressed signal to the pedal output. Together with the common controls we see in most compressor pedals – Ratio, Attack/Release, input (just like the original 1176, the threshold in this pedal is fixed), and output (makeup gain). For those of you who are not familiar with it, a FET (Field Effect Transistor) compressor is essentially a solid-state tube compressor emulation that allows for fast and precise control over the attack and the release parameters allows for extreme compression ratios and finally adds the typical 1176 color and character to the sound.

It’s not limited to just amps and effects, either. The visual aspect of BIAS FX 2 is what sets it apart from other comparable software, and it’s apparent they put a lot of time into the user interface aspect of it. I opened up a couple of the bass presets, and was able to very quickly adjust effect settings, mic placement, signal chain order, etc. Simple to use/understand interface makes tweaking a breeze Imagine if our actual rigs were that simple…! Grabbing an effect and throwing it either in front of the amp (or in its effects loop) is a simple click/drag away. BIAS FX 2 has everything laid out, just like how you’d see it onstage. If the layout of the presets look really familiar, it’s because it is. With the latest release of BIAS FX 2, the folk at Positive Grid have released a package tailored to us bassists. Having a plethora of amplifiers previously unattainable to most at your fingertips is incredibly helpful to dial in the perfect sound. Guitarists have long known the name Positive Grid and their Bias software as one of the leading tools for home recording. ![]()
