Full Power of the Legendary Drive Pedal for the Highest String Gauges.
Legendary Effect Pedal – Now in a Form of Plugin – Designed based on the famous pedal bearing the same name, TL BassDrive is ready to unleash the true power of the lowest guitar frequencies. Well-known as an excellent overdrive for bass guitars, this effect has found a new wave of popularity in heavy musical genres, where the guitar string gauges have gone far beyond the standard .046. Although this effect was developed primarily for the frequency range of a guitar, this does not limit the range of its application in any way: in the right hands this effect can be useful for creating music of all genres and directions.

BassDrive Unit – Legendary Effect Pedal – Now in a Form of Plugin
The well-known pedal at the base of this plugin needs no introduction. BassDrive is the steady favorite of a vast amount of bassists and guitarists worldwide. The particular emphasis in the functioning of this effect is on the overdrive of the lower frequency range. This makes TL BassDrive a great solution for processing bass or low tuned guitar. Depending on the effect setting, overdrive can be sharp and aggressive as well as deep and gentle.

This feature makes working with sound as visual as possible, and it becomes clear exactly what a particular parameter is doing on the frequency range.

In this update we have
We have updated the GUI to the new format, focusing on the plugin’s usability. A new display mode of the plugin interface – Compact View Mode – has been added. In addition, we have fixed some minor graphics bugs occurring on certain systems, and also improved optimization of CPU usage and increased the overall stability of the plugin.Compact View Mode
In this update we are introducing a new display mode for the plugin interface – Compact View Mode. It optimizes the plugin’s usable interface space and makes it more convenient to handle the plugin, especially when you don’t need to monitor specific frequencies and fine-tune using a signal graph. In this display mode we have put all global parameters (Input/Output level, Bypass switch etc.) in a single rack, making navigation in the plugin interface more visual and handy. In addition, for Compact View Mode we have added several options for interface scaling, so you could easily adjust the plugin window size to your display.Updated Interface – A/B Switch
Together with the updated GUI, a new toolbar has been added to the plugin, which houses a new Preset manager, Compact View mode toggle, A/B states switch and other features.New Preset Manager
We have put all the controls for presets in the updated Preset Manager menu. In addition, we have added a hierarchical structure that will allow you to organize the sorting and storage of your presets.Updated Preferences Section
We have updated the preferences menu, focusing on making the plugin settings management as user friendly as possible. Organized menus allow you to easily find and configure all important plugin settings. The global search function will help you find the required parameters instead of scrolling through separate menus.Summary
