Bugera BTX36000 The Nuke Bass Amplifier Head (3600 Watts)

No longer available at zZounds
3600 Watts of brutish might and a bountiful bevy of EQing options and tone tapering techniques give The Nuke peerless power and tonal clarity.

Bugera named it "The Nuke" for a good reason -- with 3,600 Watts in bridged mode and 2 x 1,800 when run in stereo or bi-amped mode, this bad boy is the most powerful bass amp in the world!

But The Nuke isn't just about power, thanks to its staggering array of tone-sculpting options, including 3-band EQ with sweepable mids, Ultra-High, Ultra-Low and Bright switches, and a 9-band graphic EQ.

A built-in adjustable Compressor and switchable Limiter ensure distortion-free performance. And if bi-amping is your thing, you'll love the onboard Crossover with Balance control. The Nuke even provides XLR and 1/4-inch outputs to send the bi-amped signal to the front of house.

Need even more features? How about two Insert Channels with Preamp Out and Power Amp In connections? How about a footswitchable stereo Effects Loop? They even provide the footswitch, which pulls double-duty for FX and the graphic EQ.

Ive read things like it blew breakers in peepls house (better that than have a low voltage burn out of yer transfomer [been there done that...] Dont matter what amp you own if you get loud yer gonna pull amps. I always put this guy on a seperate circuit than anything else and it has yet to brown or trip any breaker. Has tons of features (truly versatile as h3ll!). negative: lacks heaphone output but u can get around that only u hear in one ear../ heavy as an armored truck/ thats the only 2 things i can say bad about it. where ANY Bass amp (or preamp for that matter/ onboard that is) Ive only seen mid-switch of 250/600 k this thing has 5 shifts of mid 250-3000k!/ 9 band EQ and yes the EQ is REAL you can hear/feel every slight of hand that you shift a band. Main thing is I got this at some stupid markdown or closeout at Amazon for only 256.00$ delivered! Thats right! at that price i couldnt refuse it and i wish i would have bought 2 of them! That said if it delivers 3000 (true in ther regards of how most peepl view watts as if they were a reliable reference to decibels....) no way..BUT..you rig up 3 cabinets and run 2 ohms I will promise you there will not be a window or anything in your house not nailed or glued down that wont vibrate like Sybil (Exorcist) on steroids has brought yer house down. Bottom line kids...it Do Deliver! Just use common sense and reference material if you need when hooking this guy up and play by the rules and you will not be unhappy---well you may get read more a hernia toting it around w/o a rack on wheels but otherwise you be happy :D
