sub808 is the end result of countless hours dialing in and perfecting the perfect 808 - so you don’t have to!

Experience the instant power of sub808 in your productions and sculpt your bass into something uniquely yours with our intuitive interface, all within moments.

At its core, sub808 includes 50 Factory Presets, featuring 4 distinct flavors: Smooth, Tape, Gritty, and Nasty. Each flavor comes with its own unique analog character, providing excellent starting points for your creativity. Fine-tune these sounds to perfection with 8 Drive modes, offering precise control over drive and mix levels.

Variable Source Control

Each of the 4 distinctive flavors were created using our warm analog chain with mastering-grade converters, meticulously designed to seamlessly allow itself to integrate into any track.

• Smooth - classic analog sine based 808 bass sound, the go-to sound for booming 808 bass drums, kicks, and sub bass lines.
• Tape - mild tape-saturated triangle based 808 bass sound, for adding a warm, lo-fi touch to your bass lines.
• Gritty - driven saw-triangle based 808 bass with a coarser sound, giving your tracks more attitude for hooks and choruses.
• Nasty - Complex waveform based 808, completely abrasive, nasty driven bass to break outside genres and give you your signature sound.

Limitless Drive Combinations

Every 808 needs just the right amount of saturation, whether that is a crazy over-the-top tube overdrive, or just some subtle soft clipping. To ensure you can navigate the spectrum between subtlety and intensity while preserving your original sound, we've equipped it with 8 robust Drive modes. Dive into precise control over both drive and mix levels, empowering you to sculpt your audio with unmatched precision and finesse.

• Classic - A go-to hard-clipping saturation designed to introduce warmth and grit to your sound.
• Legendary - The legendary tahn wave-shaping (or soft-clipping for those who don’t know!) saturation pushed to an extreme at high levels.
• Crusher - A powerful bit-crusher designed to give a warmer tone and take your signal out of the norm.
• Unique - A non-linear wave shaping saturation designed to take you where you wouldn’t usually go
• Eighties - A recreation of the transistor-based saturation found in a lot of famous drives
• Tube - A warm sporadic saturation to push your signal with the juicy goodness of a tube power section
• Preamp - A reproduction of the type of saturation produced by a pre-amp section of most audio consoles
• Killer - A broken sounding, dying transistor (germanium) saturation to give you a unique killer sound
• Cassette - An emulation of the gritty goodness of a tape cassette saturation

Easy-To-Dial-in  Cutoff & Glide Times

Experience enhanced versatility with a filter cutoff featuring both pre and post-saturation modes, enabling you to position your filter precisely within the signal chain. Elevate your bass playability with the added convenience of an easily adjustable glide function, facilitating seamless pitch bending between your bass lines for added depth and expression.
