Hi guys.

i'm thinking of picking this up at some point.

just wondering what your thoughts were on it and if anyone has used it with good results.

cheers

It's ok. I prefer micing up an eden rig though.

It's pretty good, but I think the bass amps in AT3 are slightly better.

it's chincy ...but i'm sure it can be used to make a "decent" tone.


another option:

mic a cab using a bidirectional pattern (figure 8). (most notably) position the cab (in the room) where the kick drum was and mic 4" off axis.

play at high level, the room will fill with bass and you will capture a huge sound.

You can get some good sounds out of it, just not very metal. My favorite bass amp sim is probably the Studio Devil Virtual Bass Amp Pro. Plus, it costs about half as much.

has anyone tryed micing up a bass cab with another bass cab 9using it like a yamaha sub kick)

SVX is pretty good. I've used it in conjunction with a Sansamp with really good results. There is a sale on it currently if i'm not mistaken on audiomidi. I had them price match a sale at GC and got it for $79

Studio Devil is good too.

It's on sale for pretty cheap now so you may as well snatch it up. I used it on the bass on this track (not metal) and liked the results.

I prefer Vandal Ampsim for the bass and the Redwirez cabimpulses.

I use it mixed with Onqel's BOD for most of my tracks.
