Description

ALLOMORPH: STANDARD PRECISION BASS EDITION Transform your stock Fender P-Bass into 35 legendary active, vintage, modern, hollow-body, acoustic, and rig-calibrated Studio Super pickup configurations. OVERVIEW Allomorph turns your Fender Precision Bass into a versatile tonal chameleon. Instead of modeling an amplifier or speaker cabinet, Allomorph sits at the very beginning of your signal chain (Block 1 on the Darkglass Anagram) to reshape the actual sound, pickup response, and feel of your instrument. With this pack, your single P-Bass can instantly deliver: • The iconic scoop of vintage '60s and '70s Jazz Basses, series humbucking punch, and aggressive Music Man StingRays • Modern active slap preamps, boutique P/MM hybrids, and cutting multi-scale progressive rock clank • Warm Motown flatwound thump, woody 1960s Hofner hollow-body violin bass, and semi-hollow Gibson EB-2 rumble • Acoustic upright double bass resonance for jazz and acoustic sessions • 10 Studio Super tones that pre-shape your bass in Block 1 for specific Darkglass Anagram amp and cab combos so the full rig sits mix-ready with zero extra EQ Calibrated specifically for a 34" Standard Precision Bass with stock split-coil pickups. Plug in, select a model, and hear your P-Bass transform into a completely different instrument in real time with zero latency. RECOMMENDED SIGNAL CHAIN [Fender P-Bass] -> [Block 1: Allomorph Pickup Twin] (Input / Pickup Front-End) -> [Block 2: Amp / Drive / Preamp] (Darkglass B7K, SVT, B-15, etc.) -> [Block 3: Speaker Cabinet IR] (8x10, 4x10, 1x15, etc.) -> [FOH / Audio Interface / DAW] Why Block 1? Overdrive pedals and amps react directly to the resonant character of your pickups. Putting Allomorph first ensures downstream pedals and amp models distort the authentic growl of a Jazz bridge pickup, the clank of a StingRay, or the scoop of dual single-coils, rather than a generic DI signal. QUICK INSTRUMENT SETUP • Physical Volume Knob: 100% (Wide Open) • Physical Tone Knob: 100% (Wide Open) Start with your knobs wide open for the calibrated baseline—all pickup positioning, pot loading, tone capacitor shaping, and active preamp EQs are handled automatically by the models. From there, feel free to roll back or tweak your onboard controls to shape the tone to taste. THE 35 DIGITAL TWIN VOICINGS Jazz Bass Family 01. Jazz Pair Active NYC '70s active slap tone: tight, massive sub-bass and crisp, glassy highs with a midrange scoop. 02. Jazz Pair Open Vintage '60s Jazz Bass: hollow midrange scoop, warm low-mids, and smooth, singing top-end. 03. Jazz Pair Series Series-wired dual Jazz coils: replaces the parallel scoop with hot, muscular humbucking midrange punch. 04. Jazz Bridge Growl Jaco-style bridge growl: vocal, honky upper-mid bark that retains full low-end body. 05. Jazz Neck Warm Solo '60s neck single-coil: deep, round, woody low-end bloom with open single-coil clarity. Music Man StingRay Family 06.

PJ Active Modern active P/J: split-coil body and bridge single-coil cut boosted by an 18V 3-band preamp. 09. PJ Passive Classic '80s passive P/J: thick hard-rock punch with aggressive midrange bite and low-end grunt. P/MM Modern Hybrids 10. P∕MM Parallel Modern active P/MM hybrid: warm Split-P neck blended with a scooped, sparkling parallel Music Man bridge humbucker. 11. P∕MM Series Active P/MM hybrid in series: punchy, mid-forward humbucker roar and muscular rock authority. Rickenbacker 4001/4003 Family 12. Rickenbacker Clank Classic prog-rock bridge clank: tight, lean lows with biting pick attack and upper-mid grit. 13. Rickenbacker Vintage Vintage 4001 dual-pickup pair: full-range neck sub-bass combined with high-passed bridge clank. 14.

Dingwall Series Multi-scale bridge and middle coils in series: massive low-mid wall of sound and modern rock authority. 17. Dingwall Parallel Multi-scale bridge and middle coils in parallel: scooped aggression, fast transient snap, and tight sub-bass. Gibson Mudbucker & Hollow-Body Family 18. Mudbucker Deep Solid-body Gibson EB-0 Mudbucker: a dark, colossal wall of vintage sub-bass rumble. 19. Mudbucker Hollow Semi-hollow EB-2 Mudbucker: massive short-scale low end with warm maple archtop wood bloom and decay. 20. Mudbucker Baritone Semi-hollow EB-2 with Baritone filter: cuts sub-bass mud to focus a snarling, woody midrange rock bark. 21. Hofner Violin Warm Hollow-body 500/1 violin bass with flatwounds: explosive woody attack thump and fast, blooming decay. Acoustic Transducers 22. Upright Piezo Acoustic upright double bass: woody pizzicato decay and organic finger feel (pair with 3 Sigma Audio Upright AST IRs). Precision Bass & Super P Family 23. Precision Active Active split-coil P-Bass with 18V 3-band preamp: authoritative low-end weight and bright transient punch. 24. Dingwall Super P Multi-scale passive Neodymium Split-P: fanned-fret low-end tightness with a focused 3 kHz presence peak. 25. Precision Warm Classic Motown flatwound P-Bass: fat, pillowy sub-bass thump with smooth rolled-off highs. Studio Super Family (Requires Matching Anagram Amp & Cab Blocks) Instead of emulating a historic bass in isolation, each Studio Super tone pre-shapes your instrument in Block 1 for a specific Darkglass Anagram amp and cabinet pairing—taming cabinet sub-boom, filling amp mid-scoops, and smoothing harsh speaker/mic peaks so the full rig sits record-ready in the mix at 100% wet with zero extra EQ. These models do not include the amplifier or cabinet; load the listed Anagram Amp and Cab blocks after Block 1 to complete the chain. 26. Studio Super SVT Classic Classic and modern rock studio front-end with tight lows and authoritative midrange growl (requires Anagram blocks: Peggy Classic + Vintage Peggy 8x10 + Dynamic 421 Cone On-Axis). 27.

Studio Super Mesa Block Modern hard-rock and metal front-end with tightened sub-bass and aggressive pick clank (requires Anagram blocks: Modern ISOBRICK750 OD + Modern Bass 4x10 + Dynamic 421 Cone On-Axis). 32. Studio Super Orange Thick stoner, doom, and indie front-end with creamy British midrange roar and smooth highs (requires Anagram blocks: Fruity Horror Bass 500 + Fruity Bass 4x10 + Dynamic 7 Cone On-Axis). 33. Studio Super SWR Goliath Hi-fi '90s slap and fusion front-end with extended lows, supportive mids, and crisp slap snap (requires Anagram blocks: Swirl-900 + SWIRL 4x10 + Condenser 103 Cap Off-Axis). 34.

@chiefzika, that's almost what my program does. The DAWs are simulations of basses, so it's not the best to create sample dry/wet files via DAW to train the NAMs. My program creates a transfer function from the source bass to the target bass using a bunch of physics. You can check the GitHub link. That actually produces the majority of the tonal transfer and can be represented in an IR. The NAM part is the modeling of the non-linear mechanics - mainly the magnetic interactions with the strings at different pickup locations. I originally made it so that I can make my active fretless EMG bass sound like an upright by preprocessing it before using a 3 Sigma IR. I've made a bunch of improvements and bug fixes, so there will be v2 files in a bit. The best use of the system is on ceramic EMG pickups, where the response is flat and the attack is sharp. The NAMs can simulate the organic bloom of alnico magnets and the IR transfer. It's hard to make the warmer, more easily saturated, pickups brighter sounding. But, it's the best you can do without making it sound artificial.

New Studio Super tones added! These tones are engineered to sit perfectly in mixes and are designed to be used with an amp + cab. This lets you customize the tones using amp controls instead of being baked into the model. Check the tone pack description for the Amp + Cab + Mic to use with each one.

Very cool concept! I've always wanted something like this, despite being a diehard P-Bass fan. Best pickup. After testing it, though, I find that it feels more like a set of sophisticated EQs. The frequency response is similar to what you'd expect from the titles, but it still sounds like a P-Bass. The Stingray Parallel preset, for example, has the trademark clack, but it still sounds like a neck pickup. For changing how your bass sits in a mix, this is pretty good. But for emulating other basses, it's not there yet. Since we have a shared goal here, though, I'll try putting out a few of my own NAM captures, as I've developed a way of emulating basses with DAW plugin magic. Perhaps we can exchange notes. But once again, admirable and well-researched project. I'll follow your findings closely.
