GUSSY MAE - Tube Bass Head
New!

Click to magnify drawing

Big, fat and round bottom end w/ sparkling highs that are never harsh but always cut through.

Why should guitar players be the only ones to get hand crafted gear? This one is designed and built by a bass player.

It's more versatile, reliable and much easier to carry than most other tube bass amps.

Use either a common 12AX7 (or similar 9-pin preamp tube) or an octal 6SN7 (or similar) for a more vintage vibe.

Input works flawlessly with piezo, passive and active instruments.

Body control takes you between tight, modern response and loose, fat vintage feel and character.

Drive lets you dial-in just how much compression you want - extreme settings result in a great old-school overdrive.

Both vintage style passive EQ and modern active EQ let you dial-up any flavour you want and tune the amp to your speakers
and environment.

- 200 Watts RMS.
- Uses four 6550 or KT88 power tubes in an exceptionally reliable circuit that promotes extended tube life.
