BassEras 0.1.0

First release.

Added

• Bass preamp/DI with Level, Blend, Drive, Character, Low, Mid, High, Bite and Cab Bypass. Character sweeps a pre-clip mid cut or boost, adds gain above noon and lets hard notes bias the second of two 4x oversampled clipping stages.
• Eight factory presets (Studio Flip, Clean DI, Seventies Stack, Thumpy Funk, Fat Tube, Warm Compression, Modern Crunch, Fuzzed Out), loudness-matched on a bass line, in LV2, VST3 and CLAP.
• KiCad schematic of the modelled circuit, drawn as analogue stand-ins.

Install

Download the CLAP, VST3 or LV2 archive for one format and unpack it into your plugin folder,
or take the all-formats tarball with SHA256SUMS and run the installer:

sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS --ignore-missing
tar -xzf *-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
cd *-linux-x86_64 && ./install.sh

Needs x86_64 Linux with glibc 2.35 or newer (Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12 or later).
See the install guide.

MidHump 0.1.0

First release.

Added

• Mid-hump overdrive with Drive, Tone and Level, and an optional full-range clean Blend. The diode clipper is 4x oversampled.
• Four factory presets (Edge of Breakup, Mid Hump, Lead, Bass Grind) in the LV2, VST3 and CLAP plugins.

Install

• KiCad schematic of the modelled circuit, with the circuit notes' values now reported from a public parts list and schematic.
