BassKnob Trivium Black Friday deal: Bogren Digital's amp simulator plugin for bass is 50% off at $24.50, with the offer ending Nov 30, 2026.
The BassKnob Trivium plugin is designed around the bass tone of Trivium's Paolo Gregoletto.
The maker describes that tone as bright. String noise and snarl poke through the wall of guitars, while the low end stays solid.
The maker's advice is to start with a bass that has bright, clean strings and clear pickups, then run it through the plugin. Bogren Digital says that gets you to Paolo's signature tone in seconds.
If the amp sounds too clean, the Drive button kicks it into overdrive.
There are three boost modes:
The amp comes with two matched cabinets, Modern and Vintage, captured at Fascination Street Studios.
Producer Jens Bogren chose and dialed in the speaker cabinet, microphones and recording chain. You can disable the cab, or load your own impulse response from inside the plugin.
The plugin uses Bogren Digital's IRDX (Impulse Response Dynamix) technology, which Jens Bogren developed. It uses machine learning to rebuild the difference between a real cab and an impulse response.
The reason is that an impulse response is a static snapshot. It captures tonality and resonance, but without dynamics the maker says it sounds lifeless and fatiguing.
Real guitar speakers move air, compress and break up depending on how hard the amp pushes them. IRDX adds that behaviour to the impulse response.
The standalone version has built-in recording, so you can capture a riff without opening a DAW.
It also has a metronome. You can change the meter and the accent, or set automatic speed increments. A built-in tuner is included too.
Yes. The BassKnob Trivium Black Friday deal takes 50% off, bringing the plugin to $24.50. The offer ends Nov 30, 2026.
It is available as Standalone, VST3, AU and AAX. System requirements are Windows 10 or newer, and Mac OS 10.13 or newer, running natively on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs.
Green Boost is a sparkly clean tone with reverb that can be pushed to edge-of-breakup. Orange Boost starts at crunch and reaches huge distortion with the gain up. Red Boost is a high-clarity, high-octane tone for fast picking.
Yes. You can disable the built-in cab and load your own impulse response from inside the plugin. The included cabs are Modern and Vintage, captured at Fascination Street Studios and set up by producer Jens Bogren.
