The TC Electronic BH550 Compact Bass Head delivers a massive 550w output, a built-in tuner, intelligently contoured tone controls and 'Dual' TonePrint technology - making for a super versatile bass head.
The front controls are Gain (input level), Bass, Lo Mid, Hi Mid, Treble and a Master volume. The clever TC engineers have perfectly tuned the EQ section, its four dials are perfectly tuned to frequency ranges that are specifi to bass players requirements. Just with these simple controls you'll be able to go from a classic warm thump to a modern slap sound to a driving rock tone.
...and then you have the addition of TWO TonePrint slots...load the effects you want into the amp!
The revolutionary Toneprint concept allows you to upload (via a FREE Android or iOS app) an effect to each of the two available TonePrint slots on the amp and then control them with the dedicated knob. There are a host of bass effects to choose from, be it Chorus, Flanger, Octaver, Vibrato, SpectraComp, BassDrive plus a growing selection of signature Toneprints courtesy of some of the leading bass players including Nathan East, Duff McKagan, Mark King, Richard Bona and more!
Being in tune is obviously essential and with the BH550 you'll never have an excuse to not be! The built-in tuner is an always on feature, with LEDs allowing you to easily see what string you are tuning, plus there is the addition of a handy mute button. Its frequency range will allow tuning for upto six string basses.
The rear of the unit has all the essential connectivity. Use the balanced output to send a signal to a PA (or sound engineer) when gigging or alternatively when you are in the studio just use it as a high quality bass preamp for recording. An AUX input allows you to plug in your MP3/CD player to jam along with and for those lat night sessions you can use the headphone socket for silent practice.
