Pros: Pure bass tone, clear as a bell, very musical EQ.
Cons: Unforgiving! Any mistakes come through.

Glockenklang is simply the best bass amplification in the world!

Tone: Clear as a bell, pure, transparent, hi-fi, open, absolutely glorious! This amp will reveal the individual character and nuances of each bass you play through it. It really opened up the sound of both my fretted and fretless basses. With the EQ off, you can hear exactly what your bass sounds like. The EQ is voiced very musically. Small changes do not severely alter tone. If you want a lot of color, you have to boost the desired frequency quite a bit. If you\'ve had a chance to play through a Soul, this one is very similar but with faster transient response. If you like the Soul you will love the Heart-Rock!

I think the EQ Frequencies are as follows:

Bass - 60hz; Low - 120 hz; Mid - 550 hz; High - 4.2 khz, Treble - 7 khz

Features: All the features you could want!

There is a tuner switch on the front which mutes all outs except the tuner - also a nice feature if you just want to change instruments.

EQ On/Off - a true bypass turns off the EQ so you can leave your settings and turn it off for flat EQ if you desire.

Input B Pre-Gain Trim: Let\'s you cut the output level of the instrument. Nice if you have different instruments with various outputs.

The rear panel has everything: effects send/return, tuner, speakon speaker connections, you have the ability to route the preamp section out to another power amp or to run an external preamp into the power section of this amp. Adjustable DI - pre/post EQ switchable.

List price on this baby is $2799 (U.S.) and well worth every penny!
