Universal Audio Releases Manley VOXBOX and Ampeg B-15N Bass Amplifier Plug-Ins
Universal Audio got amped for the release of their UAD v8.7 software update, releasing both an Ampeg B-15N bass amp and a Manley VOXBOX channel strip plugin.
The Ampeg B-15N bass amp was an iconic amp of the 60’s and 70’s rock, funk, and soul genre. Naturally, Universal Audio thought it only appropriate to bring that iconic sound to the hands of Apollo and UAD-2 owners everywhere.
Play that funky music with the Ampeg B-15N plug-in.
Developed by Brainworx, the Ampeg B-15N Bass Amplifier plug-in perfectly emulates the circuitry, tone stack, and thump of Ampeg’s limited-edition Heritage B-15N bass amp. Unique to the plug-in, UA has included the following key features:
- Expertly modeled version of the legendary B-15N from Ampeg, exclusively for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces
- Modern workflow enhancements including an onboard FX Rack and 42 recording chains
- Two flavors of the iconic B-15 circuit — 1964 and 1966 — each with switchable bias controls
- Re-Amp previously recorded DI bass tracks to add warmth and depth
- Available as part of the Ampeg Heritage Bass Amp Bundle which includes three Ampeg bass amps and the Brainworx bx_tuner
- Unison technology for Apollo interfaces offers authentic tone, touch, and feel of Ampeg’s B-15N bass amp thanks to impedance matching
The Ampeg B-15N Bass Amplifier Plug-In is available now for $149 MSRP.
It is also part of the new Ampeg Heritage Bass Amp Bundle, which includes the Ampeg SVT-VR Bass Amplifier and Ampeg SVT-3 PRO Bass Amplifier Plug-ins for $299.
The Manley VOXBOX plugin evolved from its hardware namesake, a high-end blend of tube-driven preamp, dynamics and EQ circuits, designed specifically for vocals.
Featuring UA’s Unison™ technology, the Manley VOXBOX Channel Strip plug-in for Apollo and UAD-2 hardware is a faithful emulation of this premium vocal channel strip.
- Track rich, luxurious vocals in real time through Manley’s high-fidelity, Class A tube mic preamp
- Easily sculpt vocals with Manley’s Pultec-style passive EQ with 33 selectable frequencies
- Expertly dial-in signals with transparent optical compressor with 25 Attack and Release combinations
- Harness Class A EQ and compression for bass, acoustic guitars, vocals, voiceovers, and more
- Organically tame sibilance with unmatched de-esser/limiter section
- Control Apollo interface mic preamp gain staging and impedance directly from the VOXBOX plug-in with Unison™ technology.
