Bergantino B/Amp at NAMM

[Munjibunga]

So many times around here, we see the term "digital" being used very loosely and incorrectly, to apply to any Class D amp, and/or any amp with an SMPS power module.

THIS is a digital amp!

Yes, it is a digital rendition, but it does have digital signal processing, so it is indeed a digital amp.

 

[Alistair R]

Can't wait to get one...Jim, you're the man.

So the amp does A/D conversion and D/A conversion of the bass signal. Wonder what converters are in there...

Anyone know the weight?
What does the filter do?

Im not wrapped that tight, to worry about it that is ... Should leave it as it was.. Its a forum not a novel.

Thought it was funny. Guess not. Move along, these aren't the lols you're looking for.

I will tell you this: it SOUNDS 1,000 times better than any CB radio.

Ah! But can you receive a CB radio signal coming through it while you're on stage, playing at a gig? That's the question!

What's the 411 on the new cabs CN210 and CN410?

 

[JFOC]

Any idea of what the power module is? Ice power or ncore?

 

[MrLenny1]

Thanks Munji.
Nice to see amp design coming into the 21 century.
TC was the only one it seems that did something new with the RH series.

 

[MrLenny1]

Hey Munji.
A favor please?
Gibson TobiasUSA made basses seem to have been dropped.
No info from Gibson as usual
Can you ask around?
Thanks

There was a guy playing a Stick through it today. It was clean all the way to the highest notes without a bit of compromise down at the bottom. You want clean, you got it. Here's the studio shot of it.View attachment 545840

Was the guy with the stick tall and bald?

 

[MVE]

If it has A/D/A inside, will it have a Digital DI via the USB?

 

[tombowlus]

Here's another shot. This is an amazing head, for sure!

Nope. That is for software updates and loading cab profiles.
