A Fully-Loaded Bass Laboratory
When a stack is too high and a practice amp just doesn’t cut it, then this truly affordable wedge-shaped Bass Workstation with a powerful 12" special high-impact cone speaker is exactly right! With 180 Watts of output horse power, your performance will never run out of breath. And it’s fully loaded: one clean and one distortion channel with full control, a 7-band EQ with a revolutionary “See-What-You-Play” FBQ frequency indicator that immediately shows you which bass frequency corresponds with which fader on your EQ to allow you instant sound shaping, a switchable Ultrabass subharmonics processor and a compressor with adjustable threshold are just a few of the feature highlights. A musical limiter guarantees playing without distortion on the clean channel even at the highest volume levels, plus we’ve included a dual footswitch for channel select. Using external FX units is easy with the dedicated FX insert, and you can use the separate headphone output whenever you need to keep your music just to yourself.
Behringer's Ultrabass BXL1800 180 Watt 2-Channel Bass Workstation comes with a 12" Classic Tone Series BUGERA speaker and a Compressor function that helps to smooth out volume peaks.
