TC Electronic Bass Amp Combo 450

More details:

Combo450 also includes the on-board chromatic bass tuner, three user memories alongside our Active Power Management system, giving it maximum power impact and result in Combo450 behaving like a tube amp at full blast - all key features that don't exist in any other combo.

The amp comes matched with the customized Eminence 2 x 10" drivers and 1" tweeter that deliver the clean, punchy and powerful Combo450 sound. The amp and speakers are housed in an 18mm hard-wearing plywood cabinet with a pull-up handle and wheels for easy transportation.

Other features include an auto-sensing PSU so the combo can be safely plugged in to mains power in any country while on tour, and a Rehearsal Input socket that allows you to plug in a variety of audio sources so you can play along for practice. Connecting the optional RC4 foot controller to Combo450 gives you instant control over the three user memories as well as on-floor tuner indication.

Spectra Comp

Most bass players know that integrated compressors generally don't sound that good. A regular compressor tends to be dominated by the lower string, but Combo450's SpectraComp technology allows virtually 'per string' multi-band compression that evens out the compression across all strings.

TubeTone emulates all characteristics of both the pre- and power amp to deliver the full tube sound. Combo450 uses the TubeTone to add the growl when really diggin' in.

With the 3 user memories on Combo450 you can easily switch between, for example, your 4- and 5-string basses, or your Rickenbacker and Fender Jazz. Just plug in the bass and use the 'car radio' style Store & Recall controls to easily switch between presets for your chosen model. There are three bass user memories, remote control access and visual indicators for Mute and the Tuner.

Straightforward controls like you know them from traditional amps. You've got plenty of tweaking options to nail the perfect tone. Chances are that this is all you're ever gonna need. However, if you're not fully satisfied with the default frequency areas, fear not - we've given you the option to change the focus of each of the tone controls through semi parametric access through the shift button.

Every bass player needs a tuner, so we built one in. Simply push the Mute button to get a full-resolution tuner light ring to help you tune your instrument quickly and accurately. You can also use the RC4 for easy remote access to this functionality - Once you've tried it, you won't go back!

Playing any instrument on its own can be a little dull, but everyone needs time to practice, which is why Combo450 has rehearsal inputs. This rear panel-mounted feature allows you to plug in your iPod, phone, computer or MP3 player via the supplied mini-jack to RCA cable adapter for easy practicing and playing along with recorded music.
