Our vision of a great tone
Does a conventional virtual bass gear underwhelm you?
Dig no deeper! We got the gemsTone you may be searching for.
Based on more than 10 years of experience in modern metal mixing and mastering, our engineers have developed this gem of a plug-in to share their favorite distorted bass guitar tones with the rest of the world. Now you can experience the mighty rumble that shakes our company office windows every other day! Everything packed in an intuitive yet complex pedal-like tool.
Meet Sphene LE
Sphene is a collector's gemsTone. In nature, it rarely occurs as a clean stone. It is rather raw and rustic. When polished, however, it has a strong ability to reflect light because of its exceptional dispersive power. It is bright and luxurious, and its fire exceeds even the shiniest of minerals. ...Oh, you thought we were talking about the jewel?
Wait until you hear Sphene in action!
