TC Electronic Guitar Amplifier Head BQ250

I really like this amp for home practice. Headphone output is great. Don't expect a tube amp sound out of this as advertised without pedals in your chain. Driving two 1x12 Bergantino cabs with no effort at all.

Mi sto trovando molto bene, sia a casa che in prova. Pratico da portare (lo metto nella tasca del borsone del basso).

Lo compré porque vi el video de Deep Purple promoviendo su ultimo disco y Roger Glover usa un ensamble de amp. de esta marca. Quise saber cual es la razón por la que cambió a esta marca. Es bien simple, el sonido, cuerpo, sostenimiento a cualquier volumen es increíble para el tamaño y precio -este ultimo obviamente no creo que él lo haya considerado-. Uso un bafle Hartke 115XL y lo mueve sin ningun problema. Lo que no me gusta es que las especificaciones no proporcionan el valor de salida en Watts RMS, esto es realmente lo que debe uno de poder saber.

I own an Ampeg SVT Classic, so I admit I am spoiled when it comes to bass tone. And until I bought this amplifier, the SVT was my only bass amp, and I wanted something more portable and practical for practices, smaller gigs, etc. (for those who don’t know, SVT Classics are amazing all-tube amps, but they weigh 80 pounds. Not like, the entire rig; the amplifier unit itself weighs 80 pounds. They’re great if they live in a studio or practice space, and they’re essential for larger gigs because they can put out something like 800 watts. But they’re overkill in pretty much any other situation.). Anyway, I admit that I picked this particular unit because it met my incredibly discerning criteria (i.e. it was cheap and it would get here in time for the gig), but I was honestly blown away by the quality of the tone. I was hoping for “OK, I can live with that,“ but I honestly didn’t miss my SVT at all. I could not be more impressed, especially considering how inexpensive these are. I can’t really comment on durability yet, since I’ve only been able to use it once, but it’s wonderful having an amplifier that will fit in my cord bag that is probably 80% of the quality tone-wise of an all-tube amp (I haven’t gotten to compare them side-by-side yet, but based on my initial impressions, I would be shocked if my opinion changed), but for a fraction of the cost and an even smaller fraction of the weight. There’s a headphone input too, so it’s also great for that. Oh, the only other thing to note, and I guess the only thing I didn’t really like, is that these do require a SpeakOn speaker cable, and not a standard speaker cable. So make sure to order one of those as well if you don’t already have one. They also take a second to warm up, so don’t panic if you plug it in, flip it on, and you don’t get a green light/signal right away. Other than that, I say buy without hesitation. It’s a killer product, especially considering the price point.

Super bass amp , nice sounds
