TC Electronic Blacksmith 2.0 Bass Amp Head

More details:

Blacksmith offers more than excessive power, with renowned Bass amp 2.0 features such as integrated chromatic bass tuner, refined tone-shaping tools including 4 bands of EQ, SpectraComp 'per string compression', TubeTone complete Tube pre- and power amp recreation and TweeterTone 'intelligent HF control' as well as the unique 3 user-defined memories, Blacksmith takes bass amplification to a new level in more than one respect.

Presets

Anyone using different basses or changing playing style during shows, knows that a few amp presets would be welcome. Blacksmith offers 3 on-board user memories for effortless switching between 4 and 5-string basses or Rickenbackers and Fenders for that matter. Alternatively, three entirely different tones for one bass can be stored - e.g. overdrive, slap and a vintage tone.

8, 4 or 2 ohms, your choice

Blacksmith is capable of handling cabinet combinations all the way down to 2 ohms, so ultimately, four RS410 cabinets could be fired up simultaneously - that's 16 x 10" or 8.7 square foot of speaker cones blasting air at the bass player standing in front of the rig.. Better put that foot on the monitor to keep upright.

Be prepared, this will get loud!
