Enter The Guitar World
If you are new to recording guitars or you simply want to use lightweight amp simulations in combination with other effects you are probably searching for United Guitar Essentials. This affordable bundle contains Electrum Core with five amp types and over 300 cab options, and Bassment Core - the sophisticated multipurpose bass amp with dozens of cabinets. Both include the intelligent input option for the best possible performance. Also, everybody who records their guitars without a proper DI box will love DIFIX.
Electrum Core
The Lightweight Guitar Solution
For some, Electrum, United Plugins all-in-one guitar solution is too complex. Electrum Core offers a much more straightforward attitude. United Plugins simply took Electrum's amazing amp and cab simulations and stripped them from the additional effects to give you a fast way to get straight to the desired guitar tone.
The Agile Son
Electrum Core may have not inherited all its Mother's features, but it is capable of delivering any style of guitar sound - from clean guitars to heavy tones. It is meant to serve in quick operations and to get you to the goal as quickly as possible.
Smart Input Setting
Hit Analyse Input Level button and hit the strings of your guitar as hard as you intend to play. Electrum will set up the input level automatically to find the perfect sweet spot to match your signal's strength with the particular processors' ideal working point. Perfect gain-staging and volume balance helps to get the most out of Electrum.
All Amps in One
Any guitar, any style. Electrum provides five guitar amps of different levels of gain and distortion. They share common controls for quick and easy setup with no confusion. United Plugins analyzed the most profound amps on the market and created Electrum with these in mind. But United Plugins also added several perks, which let you create an amp that is truly yours.
300+ Cabinets
Electrum's unique guitar cab simulation brings 16 types of cabinet simulations combined with 21 alterations, over 300 models. Then it lets you add resonances and ambience. And it's no simple IR set, United Plugins' cabinet produces a great natural sound no IRs can provide.
Upgrade Anytime
If you will ever feel like ElectrumCore is not enough, you can always upgrade to the Mother of All Guitar Amps (Electrum, the all-in-one guitar solution) at a special price (EC owners see it after log-in).
Hassle-Free Software Protection
No iLok, no dongle nor internet access is required for activation. United Plugins' software uses licence files to activate your software. You can freely use the purchased software on all your computers as long as you are the user.
Realistic 3D, Yet Flexible GUI
The photorealistic graphic user interface of the plugin gives you the feeling you are touching the real hardware. But it easily adapts to your needs. You can always drag the arrow in the bottom right corner to change its size - make it smaller to save valuable screen space, or enlarge it to make it easier to use.
64-bit Audio Quality at ANY Sampling Rate
The plugin provides the maximum audio quality you can get. It uses internal 64-bit audio processing and can handle any sampling rate. 192 kHz or even higher.
Smart Bypass
The intelligent way United Plugins manage bypassing ensures that you don't get any clicks or harmful noises when automating the parameter. It also compensates for latency ensuring that the bypass states are perfectly in sync with each other.
Intelligent Sleep on Silence
This plugin intelligently detects whether it makes sense to perform processing at all. And if not, it temporarily turns on sleep mode. In such a state, it requires virtually no CPU at all to save the computing sources for other processes.

Basement Core
The Basics of Bassment
If you find Bassment all-in-one bass solution too complex you may be pleased with its simplified yet powerful version. Bassment Core can offer all that some bassists need. Just the amp and cabs.

Smart input setting

(Most) Flexible Amp
One amp is enough if it is truly universal. Bassment's amp doesn't go to eleven but its input gain goes from gentle to brutal. And it has a perfectly tuned 5-band EQ that matches any style. Even when mentioning the amp's dry/wet control United Plugins may say: That's not all!
Bass Treatment
BassmentCore's amp can give extra care to bass frequencies. It has a dedicated compressor for the low-end, low-pass filter and Aggression and Presence knobs to help your sound fight through.
The Mids
The middle frequencies can determine the final bass sound character. Not only you can control the frequency and low-cut, but also the brightness and colour of your midrange. And it also has dedicated drive control.
Trebleshooting
High frequencies have 6 controls dedicated. Give them some drive, choose colour and brightness or add some rust with corrosion control.

DIFIX
A lot of sound cards claim to have a Hi-Z instrument input. But in reality, the input impedance is not high enough to make your pick-ups work properly. And that has a displeasing effect on your instrument‘s signal. If you use one of the kind you definitely need DIFIX to make your directly recorded guitar or bass sound right.
Key Features
What it Does
Soundcard's instrument input is not the same as a proper DI-box. When plugging your guitar or bass directly in it your recording may lose brilliance and sound really dull. DIFIX uses a multi-band dynamic processor to level the sound and adds a little bit of analogue saturation as if you used a real DI-box.
Not Only for Home Studios
Mostly, you will need DIFIX when recording in a home studio with a cheap sound card. But even with hundred-dollar hardware DIs, you may still need a little fix. The question is not IF but HOW MUCH.
First Step Fix
The first step wrong, all track bad. DIFIX should be inserted as the first plugin on the guitar track. After you fix the input imperfection use all your favourite guitar effects and amp simulations.
Easy Operation
All the science is inside this easy looking plugin and so controlling it is no science at all. Simply choose if you are recording guitar or bass and decide how much should DIFIX improve your input signal.
Guitarists, Prepare for More
DIFIX is United Plugins' first electric guitar/bass dedicated effect. But it is definitely not the last. Expect something bigger to use in combination with DIFIX...
Save your Old Records
To play it fair, DIFIX can fix a lot. It can save and help to remix your old records. But if you are serious with direct recording buy a propper DI-box and use DIFIX in a combination with it.
