NoAmp Low Rider DI & Obsidian B7000: Free Bass Pedal Plugins by Leigh Pierce
Leigh Pierce has released two free bass pedal effect plugins under the NoAmp banner: Low Rider DI, a circuit model of the Sansamp Bass Driver DI covering all three hardware revisions, and Obsidian B7000, modeled on the Darkglass B7K Ultra. Both are available as VST3, AU, and CLAP for Windows and macOS with no sign-up required.
Low Rider DI — Sansamp Bass Driver DI model
Low Rider DI replicates the iconic Sansamp Bass Driver DI preamp/DI, including its three distinct circuit revisions. The plugin offers the same blend of clean and driven signal paths, three-band active EQ, presence control, and a blend knob for parallel processing. All three hardware versions are selectable, letting you compare the tonal differences between revisions instantly.
Obsidian B7000 — Darkglass B7K Ultra model
Obsidian B7000 captures the Darkglass B7K Ultra's high-gain preamp character, four-band EQ, and dual distortion engines (Alpha and Omega). The plugin includes the same attack/grunt switches, blend control, and cabinet simulation toggle found on the hardware. It excels at modern aggressive bass tones while retaining low-end definition.
