Ampeg BA600/115 1 x 15 Bass Combo, Black Feature

  • LF Driver: 1 x 15" Lightweight, custom designed Neodymium speakerHF Driver: 1 x HF horn w/Level control Preamp: Tube (2 x 12AX7)Channel Switching: Vintage B15 channel, Modern channelPower amp: solidstate, Class DTone Controls: 3-Band EQ Ultra Hi/Lo switches Variable compressor Balanced, tube-driven XLR and unbalanced 1/4" direct line out w/Level control, Pre/Post-EQ switch, and ground liftEffects Loop Footswitch for Channel select and MuteRemovable casters
The Ampeg BA600/115 bass combo epitomizes portability. Despite containing a 15" LF driver, an HF horn (with Level control), and 600W of power, this just over four cubic feet cab is quite transportable thanks to removable casters and its very manageable 50 pound weight. Soundwise, it's also quite versatile. You get Ampeg's legendary tone-shaping thanks to the multi-stage 12AX7 tube preamp, Style control, 3-Band EQ, and Ultra-Hi/Lo switches. With the simple click of a switch you can also choose between the vintage B-15 channel or the aptly named Modern tone.Ampeg integrated a Class D power section and universal switching power supply, which helps keep the BA600's weight factor low, but doesn't sacrifice power output or impressive sound quality. It also features a variable compressor, selectable pre/post XLR tube DI with Level control (the same as our stunning SVT-DI), and an effects loop.

Electro-Harmonix 6550 Matched Power Tubes Soft Duet

Electro-Harmonix 6550 Matched Power Tubes Soft Duet Review


See more picture


The Electro-Harmonix 6550EH power tube is the finest current production tube for any amp using 6550 or KT88 valves. The 6550EH offers the maximum power of any 6550 with the linearity that guitar and bass players want. With 42 watts of plate dissipation in tetrode operation and 44 watts in triode, the 6550EH offers an improvement in power over even the most desirable vintage types including the Tung-Sol 6550 and Genelex KT88. This extra headroom in a 6550EH equipped amp means bass players can finally realize the full dynamic range of the instrument and the sweetest tone available. The extra ruggedness of the 6550EH power tube was engineered with the punishing abuse of guitar amps in mind. The nickel steel side rod mica supports ensure that the 6550EH will hold up in even the most punishing environment of high powered bass amps like the Ampeg SVT and combos where the tube is only inches from the speaker and still deliver the sweetest tone of any 6550 or KT88. The 6550EH will greatly improve the performance of any amp using 6550's.
