Developer Leigh Pierce has released NoAmp Low Rider DI and Obsidian B7, two free bass pedal plugins modeled on classic hardware circuits. Both plugins are available now as open-source downloads from the developer's GitHub repository with no sign-up required.
What's Included
- NoAmp Low Rider DI — a circuit-modeled DI/preamp pedal based on a vintage bass direct box, delivering clean tone shaping and impedance matching for recording or live use.
- Obsidian B7 — an overdrive/distortion pedal modeled on the legendary Darkglass® Microtubes B7K, covering everything from subtle grit to aggressive saturated bass tones.
Both plugins feature circuit-level modeling rather than simple impulse responses, preserving the dynamic response and harmonic character of the original hardware.
