Toontrack Rock EBX V1.0 for EZBass

AN IN-YOUR-FACE BASS

Bass, presets and MIDI – all tailored for thunderous classic rock.

The Classic Rock EBX is an expansion for EZbass featuring a meticulously captured 1960s bass. Picked for its optimal qualities, this bass embodies all the wants and needs you’d be looking for in a workhorse of a rock instrument: the thick low end, the soaring harmonics and that bright and articulate sustain that cuts through in any mix without being overpowering. Simply put, this is a bass that oozes rock at the strike of a single note.

Aside from the actual instrument, the EBX also includes a broad selection of presets for all tools and striking options as well as a custom collection of MIDI, making this much more than just a bass sample library – it’s a well of ideas and a true toolbox of sound.

Can you imagine an earth-shattering groove without the raw power of the bass? Without that deafening rumble that perfectly interlocks with the drums and melds everything into the thunderous wonder that spells classic rock? Of course not. Welcome to your new go-to bass.

FEATURE SPOTLIGHT

THE PRESETS

The presets in the Classic Rock EBX were engineered and customized for each striking tool and recorded option. Each collection of presets involves amp and cab simulation as well as various degrees of saturation and effects. In order to give you full flexibility to use any outside processing, DI options are available for each recorded configuration.

“Going in, our aim was to engineer presets that covered as much ground as possible without straying from what’s uniquely classic rock. I think we managed to create a very broad and telling picture of the genre, offering a library of anything from clean to heavily distorted tones,” comments Ulf Edlund, lead EZbass sound designer.
