tc electronic BH800 Features:

• Built-In Tuner: The BH800’s ultra-precise on-board tuner is there when you need it. It’s always on, so you constantly have a clear read of whether you’re in tune or not. And with a frequency range that supports up to six-string basses, you can be sure that your low-notes will always be in tune!
• TonePrint: Your Vision, Your Sound: BH800 features a wide range of TonePrint effects, from Chorus, Flanger, Vibrato, Octaver to ourcustom SpectraComp & BassDrive – and they all sound killer! They even have combined TonePrints that let you enjoy the power of two TonePrints in one!
• Frequent Awesomeness: The intelligent EQ section is designed to cut and boost at different frequencies. Tailored specifically for bass for ultra-precise tonal shaping.
• Balanced Output: Use the balanced output to send asignal to a PA or a sound engineer when playing live, or use it as a high–quality bass preamp in the studio when recording, taking advantage of the tone controls and TonePrint features. Choose between sending a pre signal for a completely clean and direct sound or chose post to get the flavor of the amp.
• Plug & Play: Use your iPod, phone, MP3 player orsimilar to jam along your favorite tracks. Just plug it into the AUX input and you’re ready for a rehearsal session, combining your favorite music with your favorite bass tone!
• Late Night Jammin’: If you like jamming late at night, plug in a pair of headphones for a silent session. Keep it grooving, and keep your family and neighbors happy at the same time.
• Foot Control: You can hook up a Switch 3 pedal for complete creative control. The first switch will turn TonePrint 1 on and off, the second turns TonePrint 2 on and off, while the third will mute the amp. Glorious sonic options straight at your feet!
• Effect Types: You can load and swap effect types on the BH800 via USB or the TonePrint App for smartphones. Once you load an effect of your choice to the amp, you can use the white TonePrint knob toadjust the wet/dry balance - more or less effect so to speak.
  • Octaver: You will find that the Sub'n'Up Octaver is one of the most flexible octavers you'll ever come across. It can take you up an octave, or down an octave, keep it clean, or add some dirt. And it tracks like no other octaver you have ever tried - all the way down to the low B-string!
  • Chorus: The Chorus effect is based on their legendary Stereo Chorus Flanger - aka SCF - that set new standards for chorus greatness decades ago and is still going strong. Now, it has been tailored with painstaking attention to detail for one specific purpose: Bass!
  • SpectraComp: SpectraComp is the same multi-band compressor that you'll find in the Blacksmith. In essence, you get a 'compressor per string' that is not fooled by the impact of the lower strings only, which is a known problem when using single-band compressors for bass.
  • Flanger: The Flanger effect builds on the Vortex Flanger pedal that has amazed and inspired bass players all over the world ever since its release in 2010.
  • Bass Drive: Bass Drive will give you the same convincing tube-like character that the TubeTone feature of e.g. RH750 and the Blacksmith is so famous for. On top af that, it can also get downright dirty and add drive, distortion or fuzz for more heavy duties.
  • Vibrato: The Vibrato effect is similar to their Vibrato Shaker pedal. It may not be the most common effect for bass players, but many have found it great for experimenting with new styles and creative ideas.
• Light and portable
• Inspirational - TonePrint® signature bass effects
• TonePrint Enabled - two switchable TonePrint slots
• Built-in bass tuner
• Intelligently contoured tone controls
