Congratulations on the purchase of your new BG250 bass combo

Powerful, check! Filled with features, check! Lightweight, check! What else do you need? How about extraordinary and super-inspiring 

technology?

Simple to use but not simple at all. It just looks and feels simple and easy to use every time you plug in. Use the Bass, Middle and 

Treble, as you would on every other amp, but know that great attention and effort is behind the actual behavior of these controls. 

Different frequency areas are affected when boosting and attenuating to make it feel ‘just right’.

Tuner for 5 string basses, Balanced Out with Pre/Post EQ selector, Tubedrive recreation of the warm tube sound, Headphones Out 

and Rehearsal Input for a stereo source such as an iPod, is most likely more than you would expect, but why not expect more?

for your bass amp. What is it?

 

BG250 is born with a Chorus effect under the hood and with the TonePrint knob you can add just the amount your want. But Chorus is 

just the default effect! From TC Electronic’s website you can download and try out a Flanger, Vibrato, Drive or Compressor. Of course, 

all effects are specially tuned for bass. But that’s not all…! We had some of the best bass players in the world tailor their own personal 

effect tones for you to grab. TonePrints are uploaded to the amplifier using either an USB cable and a computer or via the amazing 

TonePrint App for most smartphones.

Now, plug in and enjoy the BG250. We know you will!
