Brand new bass amp sports Tubetone and multiband SpectraComp technology
TC Electronic has followed up its award-winning RH450 with the Classic 450 bass amp.
The new amp offers a wide range of classic tones, backed by TC Electronic’s Tubetone and multiband SpectraComp technology. TubeTone emulates every characteristic of a tube pre-amp and power-amp to deliver a genuine tube sound, while SpectraComp allows virtual ‘per string’ compression.
The Classic 450 delivers 450W output power through Class D amplifier technology in combination with TC Electronic’s Active Power Management. This ensures maximum power impact and tube amp characteristics at full volume.
The amp’s input section caters for both active and passive basses, while its fully transformer-balanced linedriver output, featuring a pre/post tone control switch, delivers a perfect reproduction of its tone for both recording and live use, making it ideal for use on the road or in the studio.
The Classic 450 is fully compatible with all TC Electronic RS cabinets and it will drive any triple combination of the existing models (RS210, RS212, and RS410). With its auto-sensing power supply operating from 90 to 240 volts, easily switching to the local rating.
