VALVE BASS AMPLIFIER BVP5500
The 550-Watt BVP5500 is an astoundingly versatile and powerful bass amplifier head, with enough tone sculpting options and Wattage to keep everyone from the seasoned pro to the bedroom warrior raptly engaged. But BVP5500 gives you much more than this: a classic 4 x 12AX7 tube preamp; Valve Gain Control for adjusting the dynamics and tonal response of the power amp stage; 9-band graphic EQ for precise tone sculpting; Bright, Ultra Low and Ultra High switches; dedicated footswitch for Mute and EQ functions included – and a host of other professional features and I/O options.
Tube Preamp, Maximum Tone
Bass players love one thing – great tone, so we set out to satisfy even the most-demanding tone seeker with the BVP5500’s well executed front end. The 4 x 12AX7 tube gain stage, in concert with the EQ section, delivers tone like only an authentic tube preamp amp can. Our tube design operates at high voltages, providing this preamp with unheard of headroom that honors all of your playing dynamics – from your subtly-nuanced signature riffs and bass lines, to your most powerful, attention-grabbing solos. The BVP5500 is all about tone, and this versatile and highly-responsive preamp provides incredible headroom for immaculately-faithful sound reproduction, or just the right amount of tube grind in your tone – no matter what style of music your gig requires.
You’ve Got Options
Are you a stickler for tone? If so, the BVP5500’s got you covered. You will never want for more equalization options again! First, we provided an incredibly musical 3-band EQ, complete with sweepable midrange; then we added some other special ingredients – Ultra-High, Ultra-Low and Bright filters you can engage at the press of a button! And finally, if surgical EQ is more your style, we gave the BVP5500 a complete 9-band graphic EQ to carve out the ultimate tone. The BVP5500 is an absolutely incredible tone machine!
