Waves CLA Bass

Multi-effects optimized for modern rock/pop bass. 

Grammy winner Chris Lord-Alge (Foo Fighters, Green Day, Muse) has laid down some of the punchiest sounds ever for modern rock music. CLA Bass translates his experience, forged in world-class studios around the world, to a monster tone machine for bass.

Whether you record electric or synth bass, CLA Bass delivers the full tonal spectrum from shaking sub-bass to a deep chainsaw growl—and makes it easy to dial up the right bass sound for your mix.
