Lightweight Bass Amps have become increasingly popular over the recent years – and
for a reason. They are small, practical, and easy to transport. However, their tone
still leaves some low end lovers cold.

We at Warwick have pulled out all the stops in order to make our entry into the field of
both loud and lightweight amplifiers with a bang. Our goal was to create a compact amp
design capable of delivering the full, tight tone that meets our high standards. The re-
sult is a Thousand Watt monster that weighs only 6 lbs. A true featherweight that is a
genuine heavyweight when it comes to low end!

And that is not all: The LWA 1000 also offers two individual channels with a 4-band EQ
and a compressor, as well as Effects loop, DI-Out, and Tuner Out features - all in a com-
pact package. Our powerful featherweight that we first introduced to the public at
NAMM 2013 was definitely the main attention-getter at our booth.

We are now happy to announce that our low end wonder is now also available as a
stylish and beautiful black version. Combined with sides crafted from genuine bubinga
and the "Warwick Amplification" logotype that illuminates in blue, we have created a
true eye-catcher. See more pictures here:

Small, stylish, powerful - this beautiful 1000 watt wonder is sure to turn heads on
every stage!
 
Thank you all for your interest in the LWA!

The amp will be available in August 2013 in both markets.

I picked up an LWA 1000 a few months back and promptly went in for surgery.

Tried a 408 cab with it promptly returned it. The eights were nice (Celestion) but the horn implemented made me clench my teeth and not being able to turn it off was the deal breaker there.

The LWA 1000 is presently pounding the snot out of an Acme Low B-1 III as my studio rig.

All features work well but it has started making hissing/crackling noises occasionally on channel 1.Maybe every third or fourth power up so with my usage means daily. The noise is reduced if I remove the included channel changing footswitch and TRS cable and go straight in. I will have to dig out a spare TRS cable and see if it is the cable.
Although straight can still be noisy.
Cycling the power makes it go away every time and it only occurs at power up. The LWA 1000 has never gone noisy during a session or gig only upon start up.

Cheers,
Steve
 
Hey Mike, can you verify where the on board channel compressors are placed in the signal relative to the FX loop and EQ? Is it EQ > Comp > FX? Comp > EQ > FX? I'd want to use it instead of a pedal comp, but would be problematic if it's FX loop > comp. Thanks!
