If you are involved in making heavy music, you know that Gear Gods is the definitive source for unbiased, expert reviews on the tools we use every day. When they decide to put a piece of gear through its paces, the metal production community listens.
We are thrilled to share that Gear Gods has just released their comprehensive review of our all-in-one bass suite, Element Bass.
Mixing modern rock and metal bass is notoriously difficult. It often requires complex parallel processing chains, multiple amp sims, and a master’s degree in signal routing just to get the low end to sit right with heavy guitars.
In their review, Gear Gods tackles this head-on, calling out how Element Bass simplifies this “nightmare” workflow into a single, powerful interface.
The review dives deep into the architecture of Element Bass, praising its proprietary three-channel blend system that mimics the workflows of legendary producers like Andy Sneap.
They heavily scrutinized the plugin’s features against industry leaders like Neural DSP, noting that while competitors often require you to “work” hard for a specific tone, Element Bass provides a complete, mix-ready workflow instantly.
Here are just a few highlights of what Gear Gods had to say:
On Workflow: They describe the UI as a “parallel processing powerhouse” that effectively brings a professional, multi-band studio setup into a single window.
On Precision: They highlighted the massive advantage of having a parametric EQ on every single channel, allowing for surgical control over crossovers and problem frequencies that competing plugins lack.
On Versatility: While marketed for modern metal, the review showcased how easily Element Bass dials in classic thrash growl and warm modern rock tones, proving it’s not merely a “one-trick pony” for djent.
Their final verdict? They concluded that Element Bass isn’t just another amp sim, but rather a “production necessity” that removes the friction between a raw DI and a polished record.
We couldn’t be prouder of this feedback. If you are still on the fence about whether Element Bass is the right solution for your low-end needs, we highly recommend reading their in-depth analysis.
