Key Features
The TC Electronic Combo450 450W bass combo amp is based around the RH450 bass head, and has all the same features including the unique tone control section, on-board chromatic tuner, TubeTone™ technology for the rich characteristics of a full-on tube amp, and three user memories. On top of this, it brings customised Eminence 2 x 10" drivers and 1" tweeter in a plywood cabinet with a pull-up handle and wheels for easy transportation.
Product Ref: 16099
The Combo450 has straightforward tone controls, as with any traditional amp. However, if you're not satisfied with the default frequency areas you can change the focus of each control through semi-parametric access, using the shift button.
Three on-board presets allow you to store your favourite tones tailored for different basses or styles. Switching between them is completely effortless, requiring nothing more than the push of a button.
TubeTone™ emulates not just the pre-amp section of a tube amp but the power amp section as well, reproducing every characteristic for an excellent full-tube sound. This puts it miles ahead of amps that try to replicate the tube sound using one small pre-amp tube.
The Combo450 also uses SpectraComp™ technology to compress the sound. Although regular compressors tend to be dominated by the lower string and don't sound all that good, SpectraComp allows virtual 'per string' compression that evens out the compression across all the strings.
The built-in chromatic tuner displays the tuning state of your bass at all times, making it easy to see whether you're still in tune when on stage. If you do need to adjust, just hit the Mute button and you can tune-up silently and swiftly between songs and get straight back to playing music.
Other features include an auto-sensing PSU which can be safely plugged into mains power in any country, digital recording output for recording straight into your DAW, rehearsal input so you can play along to your favourite songs and a pull-up handle and wheels for easy transportation.
