Aurora DSP describes Gorilla as “Different monsters for different genres” as it features 3 standard preamps that each simulate a standard bass amp.
The Yellow preamp is inspired by Aguilar amps and is the most versatile. It can do anything from clean bass tones to a fat distorted sound in its “drive” mode.
The Green preamp is based on the Super Bassman all-tube amp, and is perfect for modern rock bass tones, according to Aurora DSP.
And finally, the Orange preamp models the classic Ampeg heritage series and has a powerful low end with punchy mids.
You can control the preamp’s gain, blend, and dial it in using the provided 4-band EQ.
Gorilla also features a 3-band splitter to let you control bass, mids, and treble independently, with adjustable crossover frequencies.
Each section has a compressor (or Maximizer, as it’s called in the plugin), and a saturator.
Modern bass guitar tones are usually done by splitting the frequency bands which can get convoluted, but this plugin makes it quick and easy.
Gorilla gives you a total of 18 presets to play with, with the ability to also save your own.
I personally really enjoyed playing around with the “Royal Juice” preset on my P-bass. It’s got that Lemmy / Motorhead kind of sound, which is a lot of fun to play with.
Additionally, it features a low and high octaver, a cab sim and IR loader, a limiter, and a tuner.
I wish it had a noise gate as well, similar to what most modern amp sims do. But I digress; you can always use your own noise gate in front of it.
All in all, I think Gorilla is a great amp sim, especially for crushing bass tones. And for free, it’s a no-brainer.
Gorilla runs as a VST3, AU, or AAX plugin or standalone program on Windows and macOS machines.
