Built-in Tuner
– Once you have tried this, there’s no turning back. The idea of having an internal chromatic bass tuner is as simple as
it is brilliant. The tuner is always ‘on’, which allows you to monitor your pitch status at all times – and to tune up swiftly between tunes if
needed.
Most amps come with a ‘tuner out’, but why have a rack tuner clutter up your rig? Why not build it in right from the start? There are literally
no downsides, so it was really a no-brainer!
User memories
– If you’ve ever used different basses or change playing style during shows, you know that a few amp presets would be
welcome. Blacksmith offers three on-board user memories, allowing you to switch easily between 4 and 5-string basses, Rickenbackers
and Fenders for that matter. You can also create three entirely different tones for one bass – e.g. overdrive using TubeTone, crisp and
cutting slap sound using SpectraComp and TweeterTone and a classic, old-school vintage tone. In short: Have it your way – three times!
POWER!!!
– Power is not an issue – it is just something you have with Blacksmith. 1600 watts of raw, hard-punching power will keep you
loud and still leave plenty of headroom for ‘even louder’ in any band setting on any stage!
Also, Blacksmith is capable of operating at 8, 4 or 2 Ohms, so, ultimately, you could fire up four RS410 cabinets – that’s 16 x 10”, or 8.7
square foot of speaker cones blasting air in your direction! You better put that foot on the monitor to keep standing!
