As someone who is not only a bass player but also a live sound engineer/operator, this is a very well thought out amplifier. I look forward to trying it out.
That tone at 3:21 is what's up.
This amp looks amazing. I am an Ampeg guy but still this amp is appealing.. I LOVE all my Seymour Duncan bass pickups and pedals.. There is no better pickups on planet earth in my opinion..
@seymourduncan I love this head. It sounds excellent, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your prototype bass cabinet used in this clip. ????????????????????????
The amp looks and sounds terrific but has some questionable design choices. For example, AUX In on amps are typically used to play along with a music player or drum machine. You don't want whatever EQ settings you've used for your bass to affect the aux in. On this, the EQ affects everything. Further, Aux In are usually only heard through the headphone out for reason. On this, it comes through the speaker. Typically, the Mute switch will only affect the Main out but on this, it also affects the headphone out which seems senseless. I'd want to mute the main out to the speakers when listening via headphones. On this, you have to turn down the Main volume and use the Gain as the headphone volume rather than as a way to maximize signal to noise. I'd have preferred the headphone out on the front with the AUX In on the rear or put them both on the front. I know it's a cost-cutting feature to put it on the rear but I prefer the Power switch on the front. As for the overdrive circuit, I always question them being built into an amp as they can be so subjective. Some people don't like overdrive and don't want to pay for it and those that do like it have strong preferences. Further, it means having a separate footswitch from your pedalboard to engage it. I'd rather have seen the excellent Studio Bass Compressor circuit in it's stead. Finally, while not really a knock but it would have really been appreciated to have another amp on the market that could handle 2-Ohm loads.
Made in USA?
cool Poliana Magalhães
Pops ????
I would be willing to try the head….I saw a cab in a namm clip….what models of cabs did you have 2×10 ..2×12 etc …and why no info or are the cabs still being tested or not up to par yet? I will say the head looks and sounds good.
Cool amp, what make is the cab?
Awesome EQ-section and super sounding overdrive ????????????
Wish I had two 8×10 rig I don't care if everyone is going smaller
Do you have cabs?
What is the speaker cab?
kudos to Skyler for mentioning basement shows at 3:01 . That's where the realness happens
Hi Kevin. Nice amp, killer players. Still haven't switched over to the PS700 guitar version to run Helix, Tonex, Kemper, Fractal, etc. but every time I have to lift my amps and even dolly them down the hall, I threaten them with it.
Bass Cab options?
Is it Class D or Class A/B ? never mind Lightweight = Class D
Sent this to my friend that plays bass???? versatile love the overdrive pedal for the bass ????
