Bass Cab Ultimate

Bass Cab Ultimate is a zero-latency cabsim loaded with a collection of 500 ms IRs recorded from various bass cabinets. The plugin includes a total of 80 impulses: 20 unique cabinets with 4 variations each.
Rather than raw “cab + mic” snapshots, Bass Cab Ultimate impulses are multi-mic mixes with studio frequency correction applied. For each cabinet, a set of mics was picked (1–4 mics and one sub mic) to best capture the cab’s character.
Bass Cab Ultimate cabinets are perfectly in phase with one another, allowing them to be blended together without comb filtering or loss of low-end frequencies.

The pack includes 20 bass cab impulses, each with 4 character options:

• Bright: A brighter, more open sound.
• Focused: A tighter and more focused tone.
• Balanced: The sum of Bright and Focused types, offering a balanced sound.
• Extended: Covers an extended range of the cab’s frequencies. It’s a highly precise in-phase mix of the Balanced version and the DI signal, using only the lows and highs from the DI

Cabinets
Bass Cab Ultimate contains legendary bass cabs as well as unique cabs specifically designed for studio work:

• 1. Alu-Cone 4x10
  Hartke™ XL410 featuring iconic aluminum cones. Delivers a fast, ultra-flat response with a strong peak around 4 kHz.
• 2. California 2x10
  Mesa™ Road Ready 210 with Electro-Voice™ speakers. A heavy cab with a unique character and flat midrange response, ideal for heavy genres and high-end clarity.
• 3. California 2x15
  Mesa Road Ready 215. This is a more modern-sounding 2x15 cab with a bright tweeter and a crushing tone.
• 4. Citrus 2x12
  Orange™ PPC212 guitar cab adapted for bass. Perfect for heavy distortion, its guitar-centric character helps the bass sit neatly in a busy mix.
• 5. CMC 1x15
  A custom 1x15 studio cab with an Eminence™ KappaLITE 3015 neodymium speaker and a titanium dome compression driver. Crossed over at 5 kHz (similar to Gallien-Krueger™ cabs), it offers a mild scoop around 1 kHz alongside pronounced lows and highs.
• 6. EDN 1x15
  Eden™ D115 XLT cab. Featuring a custom Eminence™ speaker, this cab is radically different from the Ampeg™ B-15 in both design and tone, offering a strong low-mid focus and pronounced sub-lows captured by the port mic.
• 7. EVO 1x12 BE
  Electro-Voice™ EVM12L speaker, working equally well for guitar and bass. The Bright version delivers a drier sound, while the Focused version is more saturated and spacious due to early reflections.
• 8. Peggy 1x15
  Ampeg™ Heritage B-15 cab with a custom ceramic Eminence™ driver. A classic 1x15 cab with a prominent peak at 100 Hz that adds girth to your sound.
• 9. Peggy 1x15 + 4x10
  Ampeg™ Heritage B-15 and HLF 410. A classic combination highlighting both cabinets’ strengths. These impulses deliver a rather flat frequency response with a thunderous tone.
• 10. Peggy 4x10
  Ampeg™ SVT-410 HLF. A modern classic with a universally usable tone that fits any genre. The mild mid-scoop and flat low-end response facilitate great dynamics.
• 11. Peggy 6x10
  Ampeg™ SVT-610 HLF. The Classic series featuring Eminence speakers and a 1-inch compression driver with volume control. Considered THE bass sound, these impulses combine the strengths of 4x10 and 8x10 cabinets.
• 12. Peggy 8x10 AV
  A modified Ampeg™ SVT-810AV studio cab. While structurally identical to the SVT-810E, this unit features 4 Celestion™ speakers alongside 4 classic Eminence™ speakers. This not only affected the overall tone, but also allowed us to capture two sonic characters: the Bright version is biased towards Eminence, while the Focusedversion is more Celestion-heavy.
• 13. Peggy 8x10 E
  Ampeg™ SVT-810E cab with custom Eminence™ speakers. The classic “fridge” loved worldwide. Compared to the SVT-610, this cab has more lows and slightly rolled-off highs.

  Sunn™ 200s 215. A unique cabinet delivering a massive, fat sound that pairs effortlessly with distortion and fuzz.
• 15. Swedish 4x10
  EBS™ ProLine 410 cab with a 2-inch tweeter. Features accentuated high-mids with a boost at 2–3 kHz, allowing it to cut through the mix effortlessly (especially on clean tones).

  TC Electronic™ BC 410 cab with custom Eminence™ speakers. A clean, brilliant cab with a flat frequency response and a subtle boost at 100 Hz.

  Celestion™ V30 guitar speaker in an isolation cabinet, blended with a sub-mic for enhanced low-frequency response.

• 20. Yellow 4x10
  MarkBass™ Standard 104HR cab with four B&C neodymium speakers. Offers a tight, focused sound with a mild scoop around 650 Hz, great for both clean and distorted tones.
