The first Fender Artist Signature Series Bass Amp
From the FenderArtist series now comes the ACB-50 Signature Combo Bass amp, which produces with a warm tube sound over twodifferentchannelsFender typical bass sounds. The ACB-50 has an XLR output and decent power through two 6L6 tubes in the power amp and is Fender's first Artist Signature bass amp. The bass signal can be boosted by the built-in pre-amp and adjusted by 3-band equalizer. Last but not least, the sound is reproduced through a 15" Eminence Neodymium speaker.
Sound possibilities over two channels
The dual-channel design of the Adam Clayton ACB50 Bass combo amp provides flexible yet manageable sound shaping. Both channels feature separate 3-band EQs, with a control for frequency adjustment of the mids in Channel 1. Both channels are further equipped with dual inputs with different input sensitivities for passive or active bass. Channel 1 delivers a traditional Fender bass sound with reduced mids. However, if you switch to Channel 2, a HiFi sound is possible which covers every frequency range flat.
Various outputs
The rear panel of the Adam Clayton ACB50 SignatureBass combo offers a variation of connection options. The sound can be reproduced on stage or in the Studio via a transformer-coupled XLR output with ground lift switch or a ¼ Balanced Out, for which an extra speaker (8Ohm) can also be connected in parallel. Furthermore, a standby switch ensures that the installed tubes remain as long as possible.
