Audified Updates GK Amplification 3 PRO with Marek Bero Presets and New Tone Tools
Audio plugin company Audified has launched version 3.1.5 of its GK Amplification 3 PRO software, which includes three signature sounds from No Treble contributor Marek Bero. Bero, who writes our Bass Gym articles, got to test the plugin and its new features.
“When the lovely people at Audified asked me to test drive their newest GK Amplification 3 PRO plugin, which offers a wide variety of signature GK bass sounds, I couldn’t resist,” he explains. “You get three iconic amps (MB 150, 2001 RB and 800 RB), which you can combine with three cabinets (4×10, 2×12 and 1×15). But the coolest feature is the nine industry-standard microphones, which you can adjust in terms of position, angle and distance for each channel. On top of this, you’ll get a straightforward noise gate and compressor that are easy to adjust. The latest addition is a practical tuner and an IR Loader to enhance the sound and add audio depth.”
Bero tested the settings with fingerstyle, slap, and pick techniques to create his top three settings. Hear them in his demo video below:
“Personally, I found it very user-friendly, with all the familiar GK sound characteristics. It adds grit and authenticity to your bass tone, so you won’t need to worry about logistics if you want that amp, cab and mic tone,” Bero adds. “I think it works exceptionally well with rock and alternative music, but I can also see it being used in various mixes where the bass needs to stand out.”
Audified’s GK Amplification 3 PRO plugin is available now for $99. No Treble readers can get a 15% discount on the Audified Website.
