Shaping Bass Tone and Low-End Control

Telos - Bass focuses on the frequencies that usually cause bass to sound muddy or uneven in a mix. Its EQ and compression sections are designed to give a tight, controlled low end with clear midrange definition.

A touch of grit can be added for presence, which helps the bass cut through on smaller playback systems. The developer says the dynamics are tuned to lock in with the kick while leaving the bass its own space in the mix.

Neural Amp Section and DI Blending

The built-in amp section uses neural modeling to provide bass tones ranging from smooth definition to heavier grit. You can blend the amp signal with your clean DI to set the balance between clean and dirty.

This makes it possible to keep the low-end core of a clean signal while adding character from the amp tone.
