This helps bring the total weight down to an extremely portable 39 lbs/17.7kg - making it one of the lightest yet loudest combos in its class. This combo has a warm, powerful and fat sound but never loses the high mids or treble frequencies.

This is the age of class D bass amps and this might be the best combo going in a class D format. Very uncolored and useful gain & master section. Really functional tone stack. Tube emulation is spot on for a B15n and makes it almost like a new age version of that amp, in fact I was able to dial in the "motown sound" almost instantly. Tone print is a cool trick, works perfectly. I beamed the spectracomp in and it will probably stay. It really adds value to the amp but doesn't really need it, it'd just a super clean machine. And light? Wow! I was able to carry it with one hand easily (i'm no HULK) and although it's a bulky shape you can manage it with the handle on top with no problem. The cab itself is really quiet and solid for an amp in this price range, no rattles, buzzes, or rings. I've been playing for 20+ years and have tried dozens of combos and owned many. This one might be the best one I've ever had so far. I need to gig with it yet, but I have no doubts of it's potential.
