Eden CXC110 Hybrid Bass Combo Amplifier (330 Watts, 1x10 in.)
This tiny 110 Combo will handle a serious five-string bass player. The low end is deep enough for upright or standard electric basses. The tone is deep and solid on the low end. It is well defined and open in the mid-range with a smooth flawless transition to the co-ax tweeter. Great for small gigs, studio and rehearsals. The dual inputs make it great for teaching as well as playing.

CXC Series
The CXC Solo Series brings to the market a unique group of combo amplifiers designed to answer the requests of bassists for gear that is smaller, more powerful, easier to move, and more cost effective. With a 400 watt power stages, these units feature Eden's first discreet FET preamp. The drivers in this series use the same voice coils, cones, and magnets used in our renowned cabinets. Stamped speaker frames, however, help minimize system weight. Also new to this series are coaxial high frequency drivers mounted within the top speaker in each model.

The CXC amplifier section includes Eden's famous EQ system, as well as a compressor defeat control, tuner out jack, effects loop, aux input, headphone out, and d.i. output with level control and ground lift. Also featured are a low-noise, constant-speed fan and universal power voltage transformer.

Eden
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 read more 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.

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.

"Best power-to-weight with luscious, tweakable tone. Gig-worthy."

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Sound
Great power to weight ratio. Great features. Good DI, with option of pre or post eq. Believable tube-like O.D.and tweakable to taste. Sounds great when stacked with matching 10. As loud as many lesser 410s.
Features
Universal Voltage, compressor/limiter, tweakable and believable overdrive, non abrasive highs and usable DI with post/pre option.
Ease of Use
usable tone shaping. Graphic EQs are cheesey. Which is why I like the Eden. The voicing is very much set and forget.
Quality
Made in U.S.A. Great build quality.
