Eden DC210XLT Bass Combo Amplifier (500 Watts, 2x10 in
The new DC210XLT is the answer to requests for Eden's highly acclaimed World Tour and David Series in a combo format. Eden's goal in designing the Metro was to create a self-contained unit that sacrificed none of the performance of our separates. The Metro's dual channel preamplifier section gives you the choice of both a tube and solid state preamp, with full footswitch control. Each channel includes an independent effects loop. With 500 watts into 4 ohms (over 750w into 2 ohms), the Metro truly outclasses any 2-10 combo on the market today. Standard features include: switchable automatic compression, five-way semi-parametric tone control and electronic crossover, independent channel effects loops, stereo aux input, headphone out, tuner mute on footswitch, internal speaker on/off, and -12dB pad.

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, read more 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.

"The LAST bass amp you will ever have to buy!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
This is the last bass amp I will ever buy. How about that? I'm still holding on to a 2 x 10 external SWR speaker cab but have never had to use it.

Sound
After playing a couple of gigs with my old SWR gear at the Boom-boom Room in S.F., the home of the sound sucking stage, I bought one used with blown speakers. I had A Brown Soun in San Rafael install a pair of their hemp-cone speakers and it KICKS! (http://www.abrown.com/ http://www.tonetubby.com/) The BEST sounding bass amp EVER! Add another 2 x 10 bottom (like my SWR) and you'll move the walls.

Features
It's got everything on it and I don't use it. Don't have to. The basic tone with everything flat allows me to get whatever I want out of my basses by using the controls on the basses. Maybe someday I'll experiment if I play in the right group but for Rock and Blues -- it's killer as is.

Ease of Use
Everything's right there on the front. Never had to look at the manual but I have one just in case. The DI out is a nice feature that sound people really like.

Quality
Built like a brick you-know-what. I'm thinking a truck could run over one of these puppies and wouldn't harm it a bit! It is HEAVY though. It's 5 pounds heavier than I can possibly lift into my vehicle but I find a way to lift it in anyway 'cause it sounds SOOOOOO good!

Value
Eden gear costs about the read more same as comparable SWR, etc. but it's a step above in sound quality. That equals incredible value to me. You get what you pay for and you get your money's worth with Eden gear.

Manufacturer Support
I haven't had to have any service after A Brown Soun installed the Tone Tubby Hempcones. It just runs and runs and runs... I'm assuming that if their service is anything like their quality, it's the best.

The Wow Factor
It's flat out beautiful. The gold front panel set off by the fuzzy black of the rest of the unit is beautiful and impressive. Even the handles scream quality.
