Massive output, advanced tone shaping, and convenient controls make the B450 combo a must-have.
The Acoustic B450 bass amplifier features two inputs—one for passive and one for active pickups, plus input gain and output volume controls. The clip indicator lets you know when your signal is overdriving the preamp, although with the harmonically rich distortion of the B450's preamp circuit, you definitely should try overdriving it. Add the 6-band EQ and footswitch controlled notch filter into the mix, and you've got total tone control. The amp's tuner Send signal, coupled with the footwitchable mute function, allows you to tune your bass silently on stage.
The Acoustic B450 bass combo's rear panel offers an array of possibilities. The external speaker output allows you to add additional speaker cabinets (down to a 2 Ohm load) for earthshaking bottom, and increases the total output to 600 watts (2 Ohms). The direct out with independent level control—which you can send pre or post EQ—is perfect for getting a solid DI signal to a console for live sound reinforcement or studio recording. The 450-watt bass amp's effects loop with mix control allows you to work with line-level, studio-grade effects for advanced tone shaping. The B450 is the perfect combo for high-volume club gigs and more.
