    very good product

    well nothing wrong, but I 9 because with a passive I find the sound a bit muffled but with active just excellent.
    The 250w is really present. I often use the drive tube to sound a bit outdated. I use very little tone print but it's pretty easy to integrated on the amps.
    Mute button and quite handy and balance and good grip with a choice in pre or post eq eq.
    And it remains fairly light for its size.

    UTILIZATION

    easy to use, I find the sound very good no complaints used on stage and in recording with no fault on my part.

    Excellent combo of bass, good power, not too heavy to carry, great sound (well not too easy to adjust, apparently the knobs interact with each other) but when mastered it makes great
    Good they make a big Tone-Print. blah I is not very practical
    Great Value (tested with a Fender Precision, a Hofner violin and fretless 5-string HB)

    UTILIZATION

    No manual or hardly
    Not easy to adjust to the top

    Previous opinions clearly explain the features. Needless to repeat everything.
    15 "250W with tube emulation + opportunities to add an effect via the tone print all for a very light weight.
    The connection is very complete, except perhaps the fact that you can not plug in another forum (which does not appear to be necessarily required because of the volume that can achieve this combo).
    And coupled to the auxiliary input jack allows headphones to work at home in the evening without tt sound to the world.

    UTILIZATION

    Simple setup and the manual clearly explains the various features including equalization and level of use of TonePrint.

    And coupled to the auxiliary input jack allows headphones to work at home in the evening without tt sound to the world.

    UTILIZATION

    Simple setup and the manual clearly explains the various features including equalization and level of use of TonePrint.

    SOUNDS

    I use this amp with a PB and JB in a more rock context (but using clear as well as rather fat and saturated sounds sounds).
    One can easily get a wide variety of sounds through the very effective equalization.
    Caution, if equalization is effective, there is still some subtleties to understand how to use it: all three knobs is on a frequency that is not the same depending on whether it is cut or boost.
    Knob boosts the treble around 6 or 7 kHz, so we do not really hear the effect with a passive bass. on the other hand, if we decrease the effect on her was immediate.
    To have a more sculpted custom sound, add a front pedal allows more subtle (but hey this is the case for the majority of amps that do not have integrated equalizer bands). So this is not a criticism.

    The Tubedrive allows you to add a standard color tube amp.
    This effect comes into its own when the gain and master (like a real tube amp, what) we boost. For my part I find effective and sound very convincing.
    Namely: the fact to mount the drive boosts the mids on a fairly broadband -> very effective group. If you do not like it need a little boost the bass and treble to compensate.

    The Toneprint allows you to add an effect to choose from a list available via a mobile app. For my part, I tried many things but not very focused on sounds too tampered with, and they are not really configurable, I leave continuously the compressor (SpectraComp) which gives a little more thickness and definition to the sound and made me put my Multicomp.
    But it is a good feature to test many different things.
    Caution some pedals if enabled can prevent TonePrints to load correctly (VT Bass include: deactivate it).

    Meanwhile, this amp has the particularity to really flourish when mounting the volume. A low volume is a little deaf. The trick is then down a bit serious.
    But once you turn it up, you feel the power and clarity.
    Similarly, although it is not always possible, it is not adhered to play this amp if you want to hear the subtleties.

    Finally, setting the standard combo does not necessarily have a very sexy sound: the preamp is very flat and the speaker does not seem to have a huge sound signature. So playing by yourself you can find it less attractive than some config that emphasize the bass and treble. But this is actually a good advantage when playing in a group. The sound is effective immediately, the mids are not recessed.

    I play in a rock band with a drummer who does not have the nimble hand and a guitarist who likes to push the distortion. And frankly, I've never managed to get the sound to more than 4 or 5 without it is too loud for everyone. So large a volume as possible without any problems.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a little over 1 year and again in concert and I am very satisfied.
    It is lightweight (finite transport with devil breaking 5 vertebrae during loading and unloading in the trunk of the car), a powerful and versatile enough.
    And with that, it is really not expensive compared to other amps offering the same type of performance.

    SOUNDS

    J have a lmk markbass couple with markbass. Hf 104.
    Great stuff but he remains in the home studio, too heavy
    And as sone a little dry and clear, I was looking rounder warmer lighter ..
    There was the marbass cmp 151 that sounds wonderful but has three times more expensive than the TC

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have it a little depuiseu enombrant to go repeat but it does, its 16 kg arm are acceptable, the bass in the other hand ...

    Only downside is the connection, lack the possibility to use the hp from an external head, but it is a good combo
    And headphone mini jack ... I think it can be a delicate twists

    The use and download the tone-print is child's play, and the better we are here to have fun!
    The very positive with CT is the presence of the built-in tuner, handy!

    The foot-switch is optional but I recommend it brings a real comfort on stage, to enable or disable the tone-print, or mute the distortion.

    SOUNDS

    The particularity of this TC is to have its very modern, clean, we like it or not. However EQ TC can cover a very wide range of sound that will satisfy the majority of bassists. Over the bowl 15 "gives a scope, well-rounded and deep bass. Concert there in nothing wrong, I've never been short on volume, it delivers a rich and powerful.
    The tone-print is a real plus! There are a plethora of TC on the site and it troubleshoots well (compression, flanger etc.).. I heard that you could even make yourself ... I demand to see and hear.
    Only downside is the drive tube below level reporting, and bad luck that there is serial ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had a little less than a year and I can tell you that this amp perfectly fulfills its function. It is not bulky lightweight, cheap, and quality: the dream of every bass player!
    It should sound like TC: very clean after that depends on the people.
    The tone-print are very significant even if the distortion is not terrible.
    Maybe the tweeter delivers sharp enough for my taste, I go nitpicking as to price, you are on an excellent quality / price ratio!

    SRC2496 pour conversion SPDIF. Vu que j'enregistre à plusieurs places

    SOUNDS

    Toneprint amusant, Tubedrive décevant*, mais je voualais le son TC et j'ai
    maintenant le son TC. C'est clair, clair clair, comme dirait l'autre:
    enfin le vrai son de ma bass.

    Fidelitée des hauts parleurs vs la sortie XLR réglée en post EQ et
    écoute sur des moniteurs: 94% : c'est qu'il manque 6% d'aigus que le
    tweeter n'est pas capable de restituer VS des moniteurs de studio.



    *Tunedrive décevant, tout simplement parce que le son sans le mettre est
    tellement pur et bon, le Tubedrive n'est pas intéressant. Ne préférez
    donc pas le BG250 au BH250 pour le simple fait que l'on peut mettre le
    Tubedrive en même temps que le Toneprint.

    OVERALL OPINION

    J'ai une BBG5S (active). ATTENTION! au magasin, j'ai essayé avec une basse
    active et une passive, et avec la passive j'ai été déçu: le gain peak,
    mais même le volume de l'ampli au max, ce n'est pas assez fort... Je
    vous laisse donc le soin d'en faire votre propre opinion si vous avez
    une passive, de toute façon, moi, je ne jure que par les active...

    Si le BH250 sonne aussi bien (pas encore arrivé au ici en Amérique), il
    peut être une alternative intéressante pour mon genre d'utilisation,
    disons avec un de leur cabinet RS112 qui semble sonner très bien aussi,
    mais au total la facture va monter...

    Pas de souci avec le gros Si !
