A Complete Amp Modeling Solution for Your Studio

The Positive Grid BIAS Studio Platinum Bundle is jam-packed with everything you need to achieve world-class guitar tones in the studio. It starts with BIAS Amp 2 Elite — one of the most advanced amp modeling solutions on the planet. BIAS FX Elite supplements this endless array of amplifier tones with a virtual pedalboard. You also get three expansion packs: Acoustic Signature Pack Expansion, Bass Signature Pack Expansion, and Metal Signature Pack Expansion, which supply specially tailored tones for acoustic-electric, bass, and metal guitarists, respectively. BIAS Pedal provides component-level modeling of distortion stompboxes. BIAS Delay and BIAS Modulation give you a full arsenal of time-based effects. Pro Series Compressor and Pro Series EQ pu the sound of high-end studio gear at your fingertips. Whatever you need, it's in the BIAS Studio Platinum Bundle.

BIAS Amp 2 Elite

You'll probably agree with those of us at Sweetwater who think that amp modeling is pretty cool. It generally sounds pretty amazing these days, and for most of us, it's way more feasible than hauling a truckload of amps to and from gigs and the studio. In addition to an advanced amp-modeling engine that emulates the warmth and feel of real tube amps, BIAS Amp 2 Elite lets you capture the sound of all your favorite tube amps. Positive Grid's Amp Match Technology analyzes and compares your currently selected BIAS amp model and the sound of a target tube amp, its speaker cabinet, and the microphones used to capture its sound. It then implements the tonal compensation and enhancements necessary to make your custom amp model sound like your target tube amp.

BIAS FX Elite

BIAS FX Elite is a virtual pedalboard for your guitar rig. Component-level modeling gives these effects a responsive, nuanced character. In all, BIAS FX Elite offers 52 effects pedals, 10 rack processors, and 32 amp models, plus even more on the way. Create your own custom effects rig complete with dual signal paths, dual amp processing, and flexible signal splitting. Share your virtual pedalboard online with other BIAS FX Elite users. Positive Grid BIAS FX Elite is an outstanding solution for creating a virtual effects pedalboard.

Acoustic Signature Pack Expansion

Get the Acoustic Signature Pack Expansion for your BIAS FX software to maximize your acoustic-electric guitar tone. It adds four powerful modules to BIAS FX: Acoustic Image, Acoustic EQ/Chorus/Reverb, Acoustic Simulator and Acoustic Preamp. The Acoustic Preamp and EQ/Chorus/Reverb modules help you optimize the tone, dynamics, and character of your acoustic-electric guitar. Use the Acoustic Image module to make your guitar's electronics sound like a studio microphone. And the Acoustic Simulator allows you to capture acoustic tones with your electric guitar. The Positive Grid Acoustic Signature Pack Expansion is a great solution for optimizing your acoustic-electric guitar tone.

Bass Signature Pack Expansion

Make your BIAS FX software your complete solution for epic bass tone with the Bass Signature Pack Expansion. In all, you get seven processors to shape your tone, manage dynamics, and add effects optimized for bass guitar. These modules include Bass Preamp, Overdrive, EQ, Compressor, and three modulation effects, based on some of the most widely used bass processors and pedals of all time. BIAS FX software is already loaded with great guitar effects, and with the Bass Signature Pack Expansion, you can make it a powerhouse for your electric bass as well.

Metal Signature Pack Expansion

Add a range of aggressive sonic tools to your BIAS FX software with the Metal Signature Pack Expansion. Positive Grid worked closely with three masters of modern metal — Jeff Loomis, Ola Englund, and Keith Marrow — to bring you six amps and six effects that are tailor-made for savage metal tone. The amps range from clean to high-gain insanity. The effects and processors include Overdrive, Distortion, Delay, EQ, Noise Gate, and Chorus. If you play rock or metal and use BIAS FX to shape your tone, you need the Metal Signature Pack Expansion.

BIAS Pedal

At Sweetwater, distortion is a food group. Not only an essential effect for electric guitarists, distortion in all its myriad flavors is a savory ingredient of many awesome synth and percussion sounds. But from mild crunch to heavy overdrive to full fuzz-fest, guitar is distortion's home turf. Borrowing tech from Positive Grid's acclaimed BIAS Amp designer, BIAS Pedal invites you to create your own virtual stompbox, complete from circuit to transistors. You can also use BIAS Pedal to tone match your favorite distortion pedal.

BIAS Delay

Add dimension to your guitar tracks with Positive Grid BIAS Delay. Delay and modulation modules enable you to craft an entire universe of interesting sounds. And you can add the modulation to either your entire signal path or just the echo repeats. An array of delay flavors are on tap, including standard, ping-pong, tape, and reverse, while the modulation module includes chorus, flanger, phaser, and tremolo effects. BIAS Delay boasts several essential features, such as tap tempo, a noise gate, an amp room simulator, a trio of EQs, and more. And for more sounds, you can download presets from ToneCloud.

BIAS Modulation

Inject your tracks with depth and dimension with Positive Grid BIAS Modulation. Blaze new sonic trails with chorus and tremolo modules. An entire universe of modulation flavors are at your disposal, both pitch-based like chorus, vibrato, flanger, rotary, and phaser effects; and amplitude-based like tremolo, pan, ring modulator, and auto swell. BIAS Modulation is loaded with must-have features, such as a noise gate, an amp room simulator, a trio of EQs, and more. You can also download presets from ToneCloud if you need more sounds.

Pro Series Compressor

Pro Series Compressor sidesteps the limitations of traditional plug-in architecture by using component-level compression matching to authentically re-create the modeled circuits of the finest compressors ever made. From coveted vintage tube and optical units to modern FET designs, Pro Series Compressor delivers a cornucopia of compression that covers all your dynamics-processing needs. If you take your dynamics processing seriously, you'll be impressed with the unique approach Positive Grid has taken with Pro Series Compressor.

Pro Series EQ

Positive Grid's Pro Series EQ employs component-level EQ matching to authentically replicate the modeled circuits of the finest equalizers ever made. From revered classic tube and passive units to modern digital designs, Pro Series EQ delivers a vast array of EQ flavors that covers all your equalization needs. Positive Grid has employed analog filters to match the frequency response of each type. EQ matching analyzes the difference curve between input and sidechain and adjusts the controls to match the curves. With Positive Grid Pro Series EQ, the results are always outstanding.

If you can dream it, you can have it

This bundle offers all of Positive Grid's computer software, except for the Celestion Modern Speaker IR's (Worth the investment just for the Creamback IR's).

I bought this for use as both stand-alone and within Cubase Pro 11, and both work great (Cubase requires Bias FX2 to be on a group channel or FX channel if you want to use it with mono tracks, and have it output in stereo). I control it with a Behringer FCB1010, and it works flawlessly. The work flow is really straight forward and intuitive. Sound-wise it is top notch. You can create single or dual amp chains. And there loads of FX, amps and speakers to choose from, including thousands to download in the ToneCloud. You can create 8 quick snapshots to quickly change between presets without menu diving. Also each preset can have 4 foot-switchable scenes, perfect for setting up clean, rhythm and lead variations. The tuner is accurate, and foot-switchable with mute option. I don't really use the looper function, but I probably would if it include at least a basic drum machine, but it will play MIDI files. I have never used the Amp Match feature, but the Amp Matches I have downloaded all seem to be really good so far. The Guitar Match feature sounds really good, but is bit glitchy (Read Below). If you feel extra creative you can dive into Bias Pedal and Bias Amp and build your own custom FX and Amps complete with custom graphics, and bring them back into Bias FX2 or use them on their own. Good stuff.

I am deducting 1/2 star unfortunately. Intially when I bought it, Bias Amp wouldn't work when computer was offline (or when their server was down). Additionally I could only load 1 instance of Bias FX2 in Cubase. Anymore than that and Cubase would crash (could load many instances of Bias Amp). The latest update addressed both of those problems.

However 2 things need to be addressed still. First, is the Guitar Match feature. Sometimes it is just NOISEY for no reason. Pretty much to the point of rendering it useless. Seems to be a common problem I have found out, and hopefully will be addressed soon. My biggest complaint though, is the user interface can be scaled up to 125% and 175%, however it just makes everything bigger. You still cannot see your entire FX chain without having to use your mouse to scroll, if you have more than about 6 FX loaded, unless you are in Pedalboard mode.

Bottom line here, this software is well worth the price. It sounds Killer, and inspires new creativity every single time I open it up. I can't ask for much more than that.

Great tone, terrible plugin

You can't use the plugin at all unless it's connected to WiFi. I've relied on this plugin and not been able to use it when I need it the most because WiFi's weak or down. Wish I got guitar rig
