Dude. Heard this, walked out and bought it. Just from the standalone (you have a standalone, yes!) I know you just made my job as a producer so much easier! Folks this thing rocks out of the box as promised. You want VST 'clean?' Yup! Whatever crunchy goodness he stuck under the hood for distortion? HellzYa! And just in time to record one rippin bass track! Thanks Bogren!
@@Bogren.Digital No! I know his work with Angra and Almah, he also made a great job with the Bittencourt Project and the Kiko Loureiro solo albuns, I'll definitely check the new stuff! Thanks !!!
This sounds so great! I just need you to make an 5150 style amp, one jcm 800 style crunch amp and one clean amp. Then I can finally move away from an other well known amp sim company which is so slow in making their plugins work natively on M1 Macs. Please, Jens! 😅
I personally really digged the sound of the midi + Bassknob default preset in the unison parts. For the solo parts a real bass will always sound cooler. But the Midi Bass really shined here
Please, PLEASE, give us a one-knob of one of those Marshalls sitting behind you. I've never heard anything capture the vibe of the Mesa like the one knob.
Love this plugin, I think it's based on an Ampeg SVT (CL?) maybe? I wondered if you'd consider taking on other iconic bass amps with this approach? I feel there are some gaps in the market on the bass amp side, but one knob really works well for bass emulations. I'm thinking of things like Fender Super Bassman, Vox AC50/AC100 and maybe even rarer/solid-state like Sunn, Model T Acoustic 360/370 (well, maybe two controls with the fuzz)?
Amazing how much the plugin sounds like Cliff Burton's tone on Puppets. Not so much how it sounds in the normal mixed album version, but more the RUclips versions where the bass is turned up.
Hi Jens, as a designer of interactive things, and also someone with massive ADD... _(Oh.. And don't forget n00b when it comes to guitar playing, recording, mixing, etc).._ ...I sincerely appreciate the simplicity of the UI; and the limited options. (Why would I need EQ settings on my fake amp, tone settings on my actual bass, somehow a difference between 'volume' and 'gain'... _*[I know the difference. But it doesn't make sense to me ;)]_ . Only to start correcting the tone & EQ settings with EQ settings in my DAW. Then tweaking said EQ settings in the final mix, and somehow "mastering" them - yet with more EQ tweaks...) (Does this make any sense?) -- Anyways - recorded 2 albums in Kohle's studio (on vocals) before I started to learn about playing any melodic instrument - (let alone mix or master anything) DAWs still kinda overwhelm me. I prefer to work in mobile DAWs, because the info is presented in the most minimal of ways. People like yourself making plugins like this... You're doing the dark lord's work 🤘💃🔥🦄 Cheers from Amsterdam
Watching other people EQ makes me question my own technique. I start with a spike in a frequency, I move that spike around until I hear a spot I like, I pull back the amount of spike, widen the curve out a bit if it sounds good, and work from there. Everyone has their own method.
It will depend on the manufacturer of the bass instrument, so please check with them. If you want to see Jens use Bassknob on MIDI bass, skip to this part of the video: ruclips.net/video/lj10jOIU690/видео.html
The amp we modeled is a studio classic and has been used on thousands of records across different genres. Best bet is to get the free trial and see how it works for you.
It switches in the clean channel of the amp and works great on non-metal music as well. Grab a free demo and try it out: bogrendigital.com/products/bassknob-std
Hey, Jens. I recently got Bassknob, and am unable to get it to work. I have a Steinberg UR12 and am running Bassknob as a standalone. I set my output as my computer's speaker, and nothing comes out. Any ideas on why that is?
Just downloaded the demo yesterday. It is a good plugin for metal. But not so much for other styles. I think the lows are much too prominent and can't be dialed out in the plugin itself. This goes for the dirt but also the clean channel. You need post EQ to do so. I wish the plugin had a simple 3 band EQ in it. That would make it much for versatile cause now you have only one knob. Maybe an idea for the next version?
Jens, ALL of your products have been top tier quality. This one seems to be no exception as well. But I've to ask, what's the deal with the name? You'd think the term "STD" would not be very appealing to, anyone. But to each their own, brother 😅🤘
i though the same when i started playing magic the gathering and people used it as a short form for the format called "standard. however after a while you get used to it meaning "standard" and not the other less pleasant meaning
Sounds sexy. As someone who generally goes Grove Bass DI into an amp sim/chain, this speaks to me!😎 Looking forward to the future of your OneKnob concept!
I would love to have a plugin like this that wasn´t aimed exclusively for metal players. Even at the lowest settings it´s starts to sound like metal, that means completely awful.
The plugin models an Ampeg SVT, an amp that has been used on countless albums across all genres. The clean channel should give you a very versatile tone. If you are having trouble, please shoot us an email at support@bogrendigital.com, and we can help to troubleshoot. As a side note, you might be surprised how many non-metal albums have a distorted bass. The added harmonics are not obvious in a mix but help the low notes stand out a lot better.
@@Bogren.Digital I always use the UAD Ampeg plugin and it sounds very nice, BUT if it only had ONE knob there would be no chance in hell to find a descent sound. And by the way, I don´t think I can dial in the sound of your plugin in that one, it just doesn´t sound like a SVT amp to my ears.
In my humble opinion! This is very well explained, even if the plugin is "one konb thing", is very important to know how it works and what Jen´s did there. Not everything can be explained in 30-60 seconds as you mentioned. Have a good day!
There’s already those demo videos. He’s showing how to use this in a mix… since he’s, you know, a world renowned engineer and producer. And he’s not a RUclipsr for a living. SMH 🤦♂️
I love the warmth you get when activating the tuner.

Thank you and happy riffing! 🤘
Jens, thank you for doing the plugin walkthrough personally!
Thanks for watching. Cheers!
I love thunderous bass guitar!
Finally something simple which work directly !
Felipe is awesome! Really cool plugin!
An outstanding musician. Have you had a chance to check out his last solo album?
@@Bogren.Digital No! I know his work with Angra and Almah, he also made a great job with the Bittencourt Project and the Kiko Loureiro solo albuns, I'll definitely check the new stuff! Thanks !!!
Great plugin!!! and cool song!!!

We have our best men on it!
Avoid M1 and M2 macs at all costs. Such a greedy and dumb move on Apple's part. It just breaks everything.
That riff is killer

What distortion pedal was emulated in the dirt channel, the distortion sits really nice
Love it. I'm really impressed. I have this and the Rev C.
Love the technique and the demo session 😍🎸
Thanks for checking it out, Vinícius!

Love it. Great midrange and great dirt tone.
PS. Still waiting for the Diezel VH-4 channel 3 OneKnob from you.
Just bought it and it sounds great. Man, I wish I had a present on my HX Stomp that sounded like this. 😋
We hope you have a fantastic time playing bass! Cheers!
I love this plugin. If I wanted the tone of this plugin in a pedal, what's my best bet?
Thanks Jens
Cheers!
I hope you make an Orange OneKnob in the future.
The clean channel is actually pretty good on funk/slap, it has that high freq "snap"
Cool plugin Plus some nice tips/tricks! 🙂 👌👌
Thanks for checking it out, Filip!

Fascination street studio ? Cure fan ☺️
Good catch! :)
Awesome demo of the plugin Jens! Bass sounds so good!! 🤘
Thanks, Peter!
We need that cab on off to the guitar plugin too

Is there a safe NON-STD version? Could call it the “ONE KNOB - CONDOM“ ... ore “SAFE KNOB“. Cheers
No. We need to spread how good the tone is.
@@Bogren.Digital I meant a version, that does not translate to: One knob (=penis) STD (=Sexually Transmitted Disease). :)))
Fantastic title to this video FYI
Watching other people EQ makes me question my own technique.
I start with a spike in a frequency, I move that spike around until I hear a spot I like, I pull back the amount of spike, widen the curve out a bit if it sounds good, and work from there. Everyone has their own method.
Results are what matter. Look at the insanity of Buster Odeholms EQ techniques.
Do all vst bass plugins have a di option so I can put this on top? I have Spectre digital singularity bass

which styles is this good for?
The amp we modeled is a studio classic and has been used on thousands of records across different genres.
Best bet is to get the free trial and see how it works for you.
@@Bogren.Digital what amp?
So what does the ‘clean’ switch do and sound like? Not everyone is in to Metal..!
It switches in the clean channel of the amp and works great on non-metal music as well. Grab a free demo and try it out: bogrendigital.com/products/bassknob-std
This was so damn helpful. Bassknob is sick!!!! You’re making it difficult for me not to grab out my wallet!
I just loved “if that’s not the perfect rock tone, I don’t know what is” 😎👏🏻
Hey, Jens. I recently got Bassknob, and am unable to get it to work. I have a Steinberg UR12 and am running Bassknob as a standalone. I set my output as my computer's speaker, and nothing comes out. Any ideas on why that is?

Now you need to pay to get knob STD? I got it for free years ago
The trial is free. Give it a go and hopefully it will stay with you forever.
Great walkthrough! (BTW it's "Grove" rather than "Groove" - as in a grove of trees, or in this case, the surname of Simon Grove)
Grandiose

ONE KNOB TWO SWITCHES, must be the name.
Sounds sexy. As someone who generally goes Grove Bass DI into an amp sim/chain, this speaks to me!😎
Looking forward to the future of your OneKnob concept!
This is so good. A whole suite of one knob amps would change the game.
In the U.K. STD means sexually transmitted disease 😂
Oh, we are well aware of our catchy name.
We just release three new Ampknobs! bogrendigital.com/pages/ampknob-bdh-bundle
@@Bogren.Digital 🔥🔥🔥🔥
STD, didn’t think that one out did you… lol
the naming though ... 🙃
I wish I had an STD

16 minutes ? We just wanna hear how it sounds, this can be done in 30-60 seconds.
Grab a free trial and hear for yourself :)
How is this something to complain? You got 16 mins of Jens' time not the other way around.
@@Djunnnn exactly, luckily I quickly found the 7 seconds that were needed.

Plugin for dumbs. Better show us your EQ settings. I see Flux Epure v3 and FabFilter Pro-Q 3.
