If you accidentally connect a non-valid combina-
tion of cabinets to a TC Electronic bass amplifier, 
the amplifier’s protection mode may be invoked – 
see  “Protection mode” on page 17. However, 
the amplifier will not be damaged.

More than meets the eye

There is a lot of clever technology under the 
hood of this product – but that doesn’t mean it’s 
hard to use!

Use the EQ controls as you would with every 
other amp – but know that great attention and 
effort was put into the way these controls affect 
your sound. Different frequency areas are af-
fected when boosting and cutting to make it feel 
“just right”.

There’s a tuner for 4, 5 and 6-string basses, a 
balanced output with a Pre/Post EQ button, a 
headphones out and a rehearsal (“aux”) input for 
a stereo source to play along with…

This may already be more than you would ex-
pect from a bass amp… but why not expect even 
more?
