Lightweight Bass Amp Top, 500-watt with TC Electronic Effects

The TC Electronic BH500 Bass Amplifier Head is packed with their state of the art effects processors such as, TubeTone, SpectraComp as well as built in bass tuner and bass tuned tone controls with 3-memory settings. The TC Electronic BH500 is housed in a sturdy wooden cabinet covered with tough black vinyl and the red preamp panel looks really cool.

Features of the TC Electronic BH500 Bass Amplifier Head:

• SpectraComp
  A conventional compressor is often dominated by the lower string, but with SpectraComp, which is taken directly from the original RH450, you get 'per string' multi-band compression that evens out the compression across all strings. In short, you get an even and rock solid tone that cuts through any mix whether you play finger-style, with a heavy pick or slap the strings hard. 
• TubeTone
  The TubeTone effect was originally introduced on RH450. Most transistor designs try to replicate tube sound using one small preamp tube, but why not take the crucial characteristics of a full preamp and power amp into account? Both are essential to the sound when you want that classic tube warmth as well as when you go for a full-on overdriven rock sound with a massive punch! 
• Presets
  BH500 can store three of your favourite tones. For instance, if you need a nice chunk of overdrive on specific passages, presets are king. Not to mention, with great sounding bass tones and seamless switching between them, you will be able to focus on the important thing - rocking out! 
• Built-in bass tuner
  Every once in a while, you need to tune up, and whenever that happens, just let the built-in tuner guide you. It's simple, it lets you tune silently, and it gets you back to rocking in no time. 
• Tone Controls and TweeterTone
  EQ is always a bass essential, so we have equipped BH500 with a great sounding, 4-band EQ which is perfect for shaping your fundamental tone. Further, with two contour filters you can scoop the mid-frequencies, which creates an amazing low-end punch on demand.
• The tweeter control is usually located on the rear side of the cabinet, but on the BH500 you can simply adjust the tweeter level right from the front panel. Further, the sound also gets modified slightly with filters giving you a much more intelligent control over the high frequencies that are critical for giving your sound that razor-sharp edge. 
• Connections
  Just plug and play! And for rehearsing or jamming along you can connect your portable music player to the AUX input. If you don’t want to disturb the neighbours, plug in your headphones and the drivers will be muted automatically. Finally, you can send a signal to a sound-engineer via the balanced XLR output – or to an audio interface when you are recording the rock hits of tomorrow!
