Mix-ready bass instrument for modern metal
Avalanche Bass II
Each purchase of Avalanche Bass II includes 2 device activations. These are for non-simultaneous use by a single user (e.g. desktop and laptop).
Fixed, mix-oriented signal path
Avalanche Bass II gives you a finished, mix-ready bass that adapts quickly to different mixes, with full control when you need it.
If you want a balanced starting point that works across sessions, this is the solution.
Avalanche Bass II is the most balanced starting point in our Bass II trilogy.
It’s built for sessions where you don’t want to steer the bass into place - it already sits there.
Load it, adjust the level, and keep moving.
The Sound
Avalanche Bass II is based on the sound of a Dingwall Afterburner (ABXXX) 5-string. It’s tuned for balance and clarity.
✓ Even low-end distribution
✓ Controlled, articulate transient response
✓ Clear top-end without excess edge
It adapts easily across different mixes without needing to be pushed in a specific direction.
Where some basses lean heavily into a character, this one stays neutral enough to work across a wider range of material.
Where it fits
Avalanche works when you need a bass that translates without adjustment.
✓ Fast writing sessions across multiple genres
✓ Mixes where the bass needs to sit cleanly without additional shaping
✓ Situations where you don’t want to fight the tone
It’s designed to drop in and behave predictably.
The Engine
Fixed, mix-oriented signal path
Sine, DI, Clean, Sub & Grit
Each channel is already shaped to behave in a modern mix.
You can blend, route, and process them independently, or treat it as a single, cohesive instrument.
If you want to customise it, you can. If you don’t, it’s already there.
The idea is simple: the layers you’d usually build are already there, working together.
You can rebalance everything quickly, or leave it as-is.
Aligned and controlled
Shaped to translate without additional distortion chains
Carries the mid detail without getting harsh
Controls
Ducker - Manages low-end interaction with the kick by dynamically controlling the Sub and Sine layers.
Humanize - Applies controlled timing variation to note on/off positions. Movement is repeatable on playback, while preserving tight passages, legato phrasing, and overall timing.
Alternate Picking (Auto) - Automatically alternates stroke direction on repeated notes, reducing the need to manually program picking patterns.
Articulation & behaviour
The performance side is focused, not excessive.
✓ Upstrokes / downstrokes / alternate picking
✓ Three downward slide speeds
✓ Two dead notes
Enough variation to feel intentional, without turning into programming overhead.
Included Presets
Tones from world-renowned producers and mixers
These are practical starting points taken from real workflows.
