Introduction:
Crate’s new BXH-220 Bass amplifier is a feature-packed, professional-strength powerhouse which can
deliver incredible bass sounds. Rugged construction, reliable American craftsmanship and solid state elec-
tronics add up to create one very roadworthy, stage-ready piece of gear.
The BXH-220 packs solid performance into a compact head unit, contained in a rugged Tolex
®
covered
cabinet. Its side-mounted handle and heavy-duty rubber feet on two sides (not just the bottom, but also on
the end you set it down on in real life) increase its value to those musicians who are always “on the go.” The
amplifier will deliver 220 watts into 4 ohms, or 150 watts into 8 ohms. A listing of the features of the amp is
given below.
