1. Introduction

Welcome to 

B

!

Thank you for choosing the 

amp one

 out of the 

AER bottom-line

-

series.

This series has been specially developed for the modern bass player 
who values performance, versatility and easy handling.

Please take a few minutes to read through these instructions. We 
want you to understand just what the 

amp one

 can do and how to 

set it up so that you can get maximum benefit out of it.

The 

amp one

 is an „all-rounder“, designed for the „Top 40“ bassist 

who is used to switch between several styles and who sets value on 
weight,  dimensions  and  easy  operation.  The  10-inch  high  perfor-
mance bass-loudspeaker supports this versatility whilst simultaneous-
ly adding some tube-like compression. The design of the power-amp 
especially supports the impulse response and provides impressive po-
wer at short term, exceeding significantly the specified 200 W on 8 
ohm, which you can clearly hear.

Amp one

 is professionally and richly equipped and, of course, it pro-

duces the unmistakeable 

AER

 sound character. Technically speaking, 

the 

amp one

 is designed for high-impact and extreme dynamics. 

From the musical point of view, the bass combo is clear, differentia-
ted, assertive, punchy and inspiring.

At this point we would like to thank Paul Sips 

for his „final bles-

sings“

.

Read on and have fun with your 

amp one
