General
TC Electronic's Thrust BQ500 is a bass guitar amplifier head with 500 watts of power. It has a built-in compressor and its robust steel housing is compact and lightweight making it easy to take with you. A great sound is assured thanks to the powerful class D amplifier along with a MOSFET preamplifier and the newly-designed 4-band EQ. Whenever you want extra punch, simply activate the thrust compressor.
Thrust BQ500
The BQ500 also has a passive/active switch which optimises the sound for basses with passive or active pickups. There's a DI output which means this amp head can be connected directly to a mixer or recording equipment too. For practising in silence, you can make use of the headphone socket that features speaker simulation.

Ampli de bonne qualité et robuste. Couplé au RS212 de chez TC Electronic il fait des merveilles.
Le grain est neutre c'est ce que je cherchais et avec l'EQ il est possible de colorer à souhait le son.
