The complete bass channel strip
HoRNet L3012 is a channel strip plugin tailored for bass players, offering all the essential tools to make your bass sound great.
Developed in collaboration with Italian bassist Lusi, this plugin aims to provide everything you need for bass processing, whether in the studio or live settings.
HoRNet L3012 features an analog tube preamp section that can be overdriven for added grit, followed by a smooth “bass boost” circuit and a transient shaper to enhance the attack and clarity of your bass. The plugin also includes high-pass and low-pass filters, a low shelf, high shelf, and a fully parametric mid band for resonance control and sound shaping. The final stage is a compressor modeled after a renowned VCA compressor frequently used on bass.
This lightweight and versatile plugin delivers top-quality sound through analog modeling technology in every part of the processing chain. It employs “intelligent oversampling,” adjusting the oversampling rate (up to 4x) based on your DAW settings.
The GUI is fully vector-based and hardware-accelerated, ensuring a sharp appearance at any screen resolution without burdening your CPU, making it ideal for DSP processing.
Additionally, two presets created by Lusi are included, showcasing how the plugin can be used with two of the most popular bass models. Just ensure the input meter hits the yellow zone, and you’re ready to go

Copy protection
The HoRNet L3012 has no copy protection, we don’t believe in copy protection, they are always cracked and they are annoying for the users, we all know you are not going to give away the plugin on the internet…
So simply download the plugin and enjoy your recordings!
This Bass plugin is not just good, it is exceptional. I take my sound very seriously when mixing a song. This is a great plugin, worth every penny…
My go-to plugin on the bass channel… amazing sound and easy to use.
Great job HoRNet!!!
Purchased this one not long ago. Is stable and works well. What you see is what you get. A channel strip for bass, but could technically work on various other instruments as well. Not a bad price either. For some reason though, it in its own folder named "HrNt" in the plug-in select menu in my DAW (Pro Tools) when all my other Hornet plug-ins are in the folder named "Hornet." I would prefer it was in the latter with all the rest instead of its own folder, so maybe in a future update that can be fixed? That is a very minor issue though. Overall happy with my purchase. Cool plug-in.
