plug-in that sounds like DBX 120A sub-harmonic synth

[hard truth]

Is there a VST or MAS plug-in with results akin to the DBX 120A subharmonic synth? I'm looking to create the kind of big bass sound Bill Laswell gets.

I recommend subBASS, by mda. It's among the VST 5.1 plug-ins (& can be installed with SX). You can download it [url=http://www.mda-vst.com/]HERE[/url] for free (go to the VST Effects page). How much it really "sounds like" the very distinctive dbx unit is debatable, but I would definitely say that subBASS qualifies for "results akin to...". ;) I've gotten very satisfactory results with it, precisely for adding that hi-fi tweaked jazz sound to electric bass - that & judicious compression, & we don't NEED no stinkin' EQ! (As I recall, the "Floppy Bass" & "Reinforcements" presets are good starting points.)
