CAUTION
-- Ears are your most important piece of equipment, and cannot be replaced.
Use common sense.
DO NOT
operate at high volume levels or at levels that are uncomfortable.
If you ever experience any ringing in the ears, your body is telling you something:
TURN DOWN
.
If you suspect hearing loss, consult a health care professional.
Questions about operating features not addressed in this manual can be answered by your Dealer.
A couple secrets behind the Thunderfunk tone are:
Thunderfunk Bass Amps are pure op-amp and transistor solid state designs – made famous by such
classic designs as the Acoustic 360, and the AMP BH-420. They use the largest high-quality power
transformers that can be packed into two rack spaces. Half the weight of the amp is the power
transformer, and it is conservatively controlled by 800-watts worth of power transistors.
Other key elements of the amp’s tone are a whopping amount of power supply filter capacitance, so
dynamics are maintained even at the highest levels and lowest frequencies, and the use of high quality
film and silver mica caps providing a punchy mid-range, and a sweet high end that even makes piezo
tweeters sound good.
