New Release
A new approach to bass enhancement.
bigBASS is a zero-latency harmonic enhancement tool built to make sounds feel deeper, thicker, and more exciting.
Not More Low End.
Better Low End.
What is bigBASS? A plug-in built on years of experimenting with how low end fits in a mix.
A source can have plenty of low end and still feel small. That is the problem bigBASS was built to solve. It is a zero-latency low-end and harmonic enhancement chain featuring different ways to build low-end weight: RESO gives you clean, focused basses; GRIT brings in the dirt, adding harmonics that help bass translate on smaller speakers, and DRIVE adds proprietary saturation designed specifically to make the lows feel thicker and more exciting. You can use them on their own, or blend them together until the low end feels right.
Because low end alone is never the whole picture, bigBASS also gives you a HI side to add edge, presence, and upper harmonic movement. This can either help you to rebalance after a big bass boost, or can be used on its own to make mid or high frequencies pop. HI’s full-range focus control lets you target the exact area that needs energy, from low thickness to midrange definition and top-end shine.
And it does not stop there. As with every fedDSP plug-in, we made sure to include additional advanced controls: a HEADROOM knob that sets the internal headroom of the processor and, together with Input and Output, makes gain staging a breeze. Transformer emulation to give the signal even more attitude. A global Mix for easy parallel processing. And our signature final limiter, so you can clamp any peaks exceeding 0dB FS.
bigBASS can be subtle enough for mix bus duties, or obvious enough to turn a weak source into something much, much bigger. Kick, bass, 808, drums, vocals, synths, guitars, keys, full mix. It all makes sense here.

Use Cases
Bass that translates.
GRIT helps low-end energy read on headphones, laptops, phones, cars, clubs, and real-world playback systems.
Instrument groups: one plug-in to rule them all.
Use bigBASS as a finishing tool on your instrument busses or mix bus. Add subtle low-end confidence, upper harmonic polish, transformer attitude, and final control without building a long chain of extra plug-ins.
Not just a bass-focused plug-in.
The HI section brings edge, definition, and upper harmonic energy to vocals, drums, synths, guitars, keys, and full mixes.
Big kicks.
Add weight where the kick actually lives, not just random sub. Use RESO to focus the thump, DRIVE to add density, and GRIT when the kick needs to translate on smaller systems without losing its size.
Massive 808s.
Make flat 808s feel bigger, longer, and easier to read. GRIT adds harmonics that help the note translate on phones, laptops, headphones, and cars, while DRIVE adds thickness without relying only on sub level.
Synth bass.
Add density and presence without smearing the part. bigBASS can thicken the low end, add harmonic movement, and bring out the edge that helps a synth bass cut through a dense production.
Shiny vocals? Absolutely.
Not just for bass. Use the HI side to add shine, edge, and expensive-sounding presence, while the LOW side can add chest and density when the vocal feels too thin.
Drum buses.
Ground the kit and give it more authority. bigBASS can add weight to the shells, density to the room, and a little upper movement so the whole drum bus feels bigger.
Bass guitar, redefined.
Reinforce note weight while keeping the performance precise. bigBASS can add body and harmonic density so the bass can feel hefty without turning into a blurry low-end blanket.
More low end, not more mud.
Use FREQ LOW and RESO to focus the weight exactly where the track needs it, instead of spreading bass everywhere.
Low-end pressure.
Use DRIVE when the source needs more body, more thickness, and more analogue-style force down low.
