The sound is very much the real thing, and I love how the biamping works with the Brainworx IRs. I would say I hear more depth and realism here than with the other GK plugins I've tried. There are bass amps out there that do tight and snappy well and others that do thick and muscular well, but GK amps have always been an excellent choice for bridging those tonal worlds. This is why the 800RB is perfectly at home in so many genres of music! It'll do wonders on much more than bass guitar, but sitting and playing through this with my bass is what made me fall in love. If there's one thing I'm missing here, it's some GK cabs with 12" speakers. Maybe an idea for an update?

It took me less than 2 minutes to fall in love with this plugin. Great tweaking options to make a bass cut through the mix.

Was pleasantly surprised with this monster! It has some fantastic emulation and the voice filters make it easy to get a good tone going quickly. Nice and clean low end that i find myself using on more than just a bass guitar. Great addition to the bass arsenal!
Tones for days

What I really like about this is the breadth of different tones you can get out of it. And it's a wonderful sounding alternative to the Ampeg amps already in the bundle. Oh, and I know it's cliche advice these days, but this is also really great on other things aside from bass.

Even though on paper this isn't a bass-amp I'd think of having in my studio, this is a ridiculous tone machine of a plugin. Even sounds wicked on electric guitar. Very weighty great tones that sit in the mix. Y'all knocked this one out!!

I grew up with bass players that used the 800RB, so I know that sound really well; and I love it. This has become my go to bass plugin for re-amping bass tracks. Just inserting the plugin gives me instant tone! PA and Brainworx hit another one out of the park!!!

I am hugely impressed with this new bass amp emulation. The first time I tried it on a track I was impressed. Without fiddling with any controls and using only the default preset it sounds brilliant. It's solid and detailed and has instantly become my favourite bass amp sim. There are some great models available, including the excellent Ampeg collection, but for me this one takes the cake. It has the sound I have always been looking for. Seriously. Your plugins just get better and better and I thank you.
