Description
This new small and lightweight amp is designed SPECIFICALLY for buskers; it runs on a battery, and has multiple channels with flexibility and enough low end to convincingly use with a bass. And it's affordable! How do they do it?
With four to six hours of play time on the built-in battery, this should provide amplification for your street corner busking, your campfire jams, your traveling street band, your parade float, and more. Super-easy to set up and use, it features familiar tone controls (Bass-Mid-Treble) and a built-in DI output - as well as auxiliary inputs and outputs (for smartphones, linking amps, and more), dual-purpose input jacks (1/4" and XLR) and even its optional (included) bluetooth module.
Its class D (digital) amplifier module pushes with authority with well over 200w of power (around 236w on battery, and 276w when plugged into the wall). It has a robust 8-inch main driver (woofer) along with dual 3" tweeters for rich, full tone and plenty of bass to provide a solid bottom for your bass instrument(s).
Stood on its end, it's only around a foot and a half tall, and under 11" in the other two directions. And it weighs less than 21 lbs, with the onboard Li-Ion battery included. It's kind of insane!
We've tested this amp here in our shop with upright bass, and it sounds fantastic - real, not hyped, and quite transparent (meaning that it's not adding tonal coloration or distortion). The input impedance on both channels is 1MΩ, which is very good for most piezo pickups (the type of pickups most of us have on our basses) - though channel one can also be switched to line level impedance if desired.
Bluetooth (w/ module) and AUX-In mean you can stream backing tracks or music through the same speaker. It's even got a standard pole-mount socket on the bottom, so you can get your sound up into the air where it can be heard.
This thing should cost WAY more than it does, and that's why it's hard for us to keep it in stock. Jump on this bandwagon while you can!
