Congratulations on the purchase of your new BH500 head!
We welcome you as a player in the TC bass pocket.
BH500 is a significant addition to our already extensive range of bass products and as the other members of the bass family it
represents the next step in bass amplification rendering a simple, yet powerful combination of great bass sound and function, mixed
with extraordinary technology behind its traditional fascia.
BH500 is loud and proud. With its Active Power Management™, we have effectively designed an amp that gives you all the character
of a tube amp while delivering 500 Watts of undiluted power.
BH500 has traditional tone controls but also includes ground-breaking features giving the amp a personality and sound all of its own.
TubeTone™ emulates all of the characteristics of a traditional tube circuit to deliver an unparalleled and rich playing experience, while
SpectraComp™ gives you the best in studio quality compression in a live situation. With its “per string” compression, SpectraComp™
delivers more bite and punch than any other compressor, in any other bass amp system.
With Tweeter Tone™ we have re-defined the Tweeter level control and taken it to the next level, offering a smoother and more musical
HF control.
BH500 is the ideal head for the road, studio and rehearsal. With its balanced out, headphones out and rehearse inputs, it caters for
any thinkable bass application.
With three on-board user memories you can quickly swap sounds mid gig - an instant solution for recalling your favorite sonic
combinations, or for recalling carefully prepared settings, that perfectly match each of the basses you bring on the road.
Finally a system that delivers everything that you need and more in a single amp.
