Feature:
Feature set is acceptable, but not what one would expect for an amp that costs the better part of $2K.

Quality:
Quality build is really quite good. Am rating as a 5 only as a comparison between anticipated quality and price - a factor no one can (or should) overlook.

Value:
No added value here - not for it's rolls royce price. Perhaps, the worst value (cost vs. performance) equation in the industry. I would urge all fellow bassists (sans endorsers) to turn a blind eye to this product, purchase a comparable Ampeg Pro Series amp, and pocket the hundreds of dollars you'll save.

Sound:
Sound characterisitcs clearly say AVERAGE. Not at all what one would expect for one of most expensive integrated bass amps available. Underpowered i.e. cost per watt is highly excessive. Sorry David, but this botique amplifier only sells because of your impressive list of endorers - a couple of whom are known to me, and use non-Eden amplification when their not in the limelight.

Ease of Use:
Reasonably easy to use. No real learning curve for anyone other than a newbie to to bass amplfication.

Support:
After using this amp for about a month, I called Eden with a number of questions. Received a curt and incomplete/inaccurate response.

From Our Catalog
Since its introduction 12 years ago, the WT-800 World Tour has been the number one choice of Eden's touring endorsers. The new 'B' version now boasts an improved cooling system and more power. Conservatively rated at 440 Watts (4 ohms) per side with both channels driven, and 880W bridged into 8 ohms and a whopping 1100 Watts bridged into 4 ohms (with a minimum of 3dB of headroom), the WT800B is still the perfect choice for the touring professional. Standard features include: switchable automatic compression, 5-way semi-parametric tone control, electronic crossover, pre and post effect loops, stereo aux inputs, DI out with ground lift, headphone out, tuner out, and a thermostatically controlled fan.

Since their beginning as a custom builder for professional artists and manufacturers in 1976, Eden Electronics has had one goal in mind: To build the highest quality bass amplification equipment possible. Their goal is truly realized with the David Series Bass Enclosures and Professional Amplification.

From the beginning, the key to Eden's success was the development of high quality, innovative designs, coupled with the best possible quality control through in-house manufacturing of all key design elements. Each component in the Eden David and World Tour Series is hand built and tested in their new factory complex.

At Eden, each new cabinet design begins its life as a CAD model. Sophisticated relationships between speaker and cabinet size, air movement and baffle design are first designed with the assistance of specialized computer simulations. While CAD has revolutionized cabinet design, nothing replaces the trained human ear. Each Eden cabinet is carefully evaluated for sonic detail and voicing by their staff and professional bass players in real-world situations. The result is a marriage of technology and pure musical considerations: the Eden David Series Bass Enclosures.

All Eden enclosures are constructed with 5/8 in. thick void free plywood with full dado and rabbet jointing. Massive internal bracing prevents vibration and keeps the sound deep, tight and clear. Exclusive Eden Cast Frame loudspeakers and Eden Cast Bell ultra low distortion tweeter horns are designed, hand-built and tested in their own factory.

True to Eden's goal of providing the professional bassist a no-compromise solution to bass amplification, the hand-built World Tour Series amplifiers utilize the finest materials and highest quality control of any system on the market today. The exceptional tone quality of the World Tour Series is the result of a marriage of traditional vacuum tube technology with the reliability of modern solid state devices. The Eden design philosophy is at the heart of their sonically superior hybrid design. Maximum reliability in the amplification of natural bass sound without unwanted sound coloration.

At the heart of the power section is Eden's massive toroidal transformer which provides the World Tour Series with more consistent regulation and sonic quality with less weight than traditional transformer design. For maximum rigidity and rejection of unwanted electromagnetic interference, Eden Amplifiers utilize a unique one-piece main chassis made from a single piece of heavy aluminum plate with 18 gauge steel chassis covers. Lock washers on all the screws prevent loosening from vibration, while on the job or on the road. In the unlikely event of an operational problem, Eden's state-of- the-art modular electronic construction allows for easy repair and simple upgrades. All World Tour Series amplifier systems come standard with rack mount kits, easily selectable AC voltages for international use and a rock-solid two-year world-wide warranty.

Finally, Eden believes that their world-class innovative products are only the beginning of their story. Since their inception, Eden has built an unsurpassed reputation among players for our excellent Customer Service. They thank you for choosing Eden Amplification and are certain you will find Eden products to be technically superior, with an unsurpassed musical quality. More importantly, you will find the staff at Eden to be your partner in your quest for sonic excellence and true bass tone.

Eden would like to thank all of the artists and players who have supported Eden over the years and made our success possible. They are very excited about the U.S. Music Corp. acquisition of Eden. This merger brings a new and exciting chapter in Eden history. U.S. Music Corp. brings a number of strong assets that Eden has always needed to move to the next level. First and foremost is the deep commitment to maintaining Eden's high quality of hand crafted 'Made in USA' products. Secondly U.S. Music Corp is excited to initiate product improvements, product availability, R&D and the marketing capability to spread the word.
