One bass amp for practice, rehearsal and the stage.
Your week might hold a quiet practice night, a loud band rehearsal and a gig. The BQ500 has a connection for each of them. At 2.3 kg, it is easy to carry between them.
Play along in your headphones
The stereo AUX IN plays a rehearsal track or a metronome click through every output. That includes the headphone output, so you can practise along on headphones. A mini jack to mini jack cable is included.
Thicken the tone with THRUST
Set the GAIN switch for the pickups in your bass, active or passive. Switch THRUST compression on, then turn the THRUST knob clockwise for added fatness and sustain. The THRESH LED lights whenever your signal exceeds the threshold. Four tone controls, BASS, LO-MID, HI-MID and TREBLE, address four relevant bass frequency areas.
From the stage to the studio
On stage, the balanced XLR output connects to the PA. In the studio, it feeds a recording device. A PRE/POST button taps that signal before or after the EQ. Cabinets connect by speakON, with a minimum load of 4 ohms.
