Bergantino B/Amp at NAMM

Here they are. Here's George of BSD lifting the 410 with one finger on each handle. This one weighs 49 pounds. They both sound fantastic. The 210 is bound to be a favorite, at 33 pounds, with unbelievable tone and volume (but then again, as you know, I am a fanboi). They should be on the street within a month or two.

any more details on these cabs? Both look to be of interest.
 
so it's been a number of hours... and no more info about this! :) I don't care that this timezone thingy means that most of you might be asleep!

To those who have heard it.... what does it sound like? I'm guessing the way that the profiles can tune the Eq, HPF, multiband compression and limiting to the cab - a bit like Jim did with the ip series - but what does the preamp on this thing sound like?

You can't really tell much at NAMM - can't turn up loud enough and too much other noise. My bet would be this tends towards the clean/pristine side of things.
 
Man it would be great to have a footswitch w/ an amp like this, so you could do EQ presets and muting, in addition to optimizing for cab out puts. That would be great for doublers. One setting for Upright, another for electric...boost, solo, etc. Maybe down the road. -DK

It will... that front USB port will also accept a dongle for a Bluetooth enabled footswitch.
This amp has a huge amount of flexibility, all of which won't necessarily be available at launch.
The best part is, it won't need to be, as it'll continue to evolve and with the ease of updating (USB), won't be obsolete or "old" for a very long time.

Actually, Jim's in Hall E, which is notably quieter than the cacophonous upper halls, so you can actually hear what's being played. It's difficult to describe sound in words. I'll give it a shot after Sunday. The amp is clean and versatile. It's more akin to GK than Aguilar (but really has its own voice, which is to say not very much inherent coloration with everything at noon). I didn't spend much time dialing in different frequency centers, but I should have a chance to do that next week. I'll add more info in the next couple days. Clean and pristine would be appropriate adjectives.

:) more info would be amazing - I'm intreaged what the filter button/knob does too.... Wondering if the stock sound is the clean pristine sound you would expect and the filters add more "amp colour" in if needed.
