The QuickBass Black Friday deal takes 88% off this all-in-one bass plugin from United Plugins, which brings it to $12 until Nov 29, 2026.
QuickBass is a multi-effect plugin for bass guitar. It puts EQ, compression, a doubler, sub-bass generation and saturation into one window, so you polish a DI'd bass without stacking separate plugins.
The maker's reasoning is simple. Several plugins chasing one goal can interact in unwanted ways, and their unneeded extras eat CPU. QuickBass keeps the knob count low to sit between speed and versatility.
The EQ is internally preset for finger style, pick style and funky slap playing. Most of the curve is fixed, with a few knobs left for fine-tuning, and the maker recommends starting from zero positions.
The Millerize button prepares the plugin for slap solos by treating the mids in a special way.
The compressor section blends between Vari-mu, Opto and FET types. You set the character with the blend and the amount of squeeze with the compression control.
For a thin bass, there is a one-knob doubler. It can also generate sub-bass for extra weight in the low end.
The saturator runs in parallel. It covers a light analogue feel up to heavy bass distortion of the kind the maker compares to a valve amp.
QuickBass was developed and tuned with bassists. The preset library comes from mixing engineers and bass players, including Colin Edwin of Porcupine Tree and O.r.k, and spans styles from jazz to death metal.
The interface is a photorealistic 3D design. Drag the arrow in the bottom right corner to shrink it and save screen space, or enlarge it for easier control.
Other details the maker lists:
On Mac, QuickBass needs macOS 10.10 or later, with M1 Silicon Macs and macOS 11 Big Sur supported. It is 64-bit only and needs an Intel/AMD processor with SSE2 support and a VST2, VST3, AAX or AU host.
On Windows, it runs on Windows 8 to 10, 32-bit or 64-bit, with an Intel/AMD processor with SSE2 support and a VST2, VST3 or AAX host.
QuickBass 1.3 also turns into a free version that loses the ability to tweak some parameters. Presets made with the full version still work in it.
