WNAMM11: Forge Your Bass Sound With The Blacksmith

TC Electronic introduce a new bass amp 14-Jan-11
WNAMM11: Forge Your Bass Sound With The Blacksmith


Here's what TC has to say...

Bass amp 2.0 has just reached a high point. Blacksmith unites immense power and versatility, achieving raw excellence.
With Blacksmith on-stage, power is not an issue – large clubs, major venues or full-scale stadiums, Blacksmith covers it all. A massive 1600 watts delivers a huge bass tone that will follow the user's slightest moves while playing those hard-rocking bass lines and hammering riffs.

Taking bass to a higher level
Blacksmith offers more than excessive power, with renowned Bass amp 2.0 features such as integrated chromatic bass tuner, refined tone-shaping tools including 4 bands of EQ, SpectraComp™ 'per string compression', TubeTone™ 'complete Tube pre- and power amp recreation' and TweeterTone™ 'intelligent HF control' as well as the unique 3 user-defined memories, Blacksmith takes bass amplification to a new level in more than one respect.

8, 4 or 2 ohms, your choice
Blacksmith is capable of handling cabinet combinations all the way down to 2 ohms, so ultimately, four RS410 cabinets could be fired up simultaneously – that's 16 x 10" or 8.7 square foot of speaker cones blasting air at the bass player standing in front of the rig... Better put that foot on the monitor to keep upright.

Blacksmith Main Features:

  • Power - 1600 watts (4500 watts peak).
  • Presets - 3 user-defined presets.
  • SpectraComp™ - Multi-band compression - the musical way to compress!
  • TubeTone™ - Emulation of both the tube preamp and tube power amp sections.
  • On-board chromatic tuner - Always active for instant pitch monitoring at any time.
  • 4-band EQ - Semi-parametric Bass, Lo-Mid, Hi-Mid and Treble.
  • TweeterTone™ - Front panel tweeter level control for crisp and modern bass tones.
  • Transformer balanced Studio grade Line driver output

Pricing and Availability:
TBA
