Bass fuzz plugin
Aminato
The rare Japanese fuzz that bass players hunt for, as a plugin.
Aminato is a faithful recreation of the Human Gear Animato* pedal: the thick, treble-forward, attacking fuzz the hardware is known for, with controls that behave the way the pedal's do.
Introductory price, in Australian dollars. Usually A$59.
A faithful recreation
Aminato was built from studying two physical pedals, and a lot of time spent modelling the tone exactly. It was compared against the hardware again and again until the plugin responded the way the pedals do.
The result is the pedal's sound and feel in your session, with the two things a recording needs added: a clean blend and a noise gate.
Controls

- From a rough edge to full, sustaining fuzz, changing character as the pedal does.

- BLEND
- Mixes your clean bass back in, the classic way to keep the low end under a fuzz.
- GATE

- Footswitch
- Click-free bypass.
