BH250 : Stop looking

8 years ago

What's good about this amp?

* Lightweight and small footprint - fits in the pocket in your gigbag.

* Pre or Post EQ balanced DI - choose your post/pre EQ for the FOH feed so that "your" sound is heard and adjust your volume on stage without affecting the FOH feed.

* Mute switch - great for changing instruments or tuning up or for leaving stage.

* Built in tuner - always on so you can always check to remain in tune.

* Passive/Active input switch - adjust your gain to suit your instruments.

* TonePrint - beam your favourite TonePrint. The one knob is simple and very effective! I love the combined TonePrints and Mark King's flanger. I use the TonePrints with a 3 way pedal switch by "Loopi Pedals" (which features a mute switch and 2 TonePrints switches - for the TonePrint currently stored in the amp and one for the previously stored TonePrint ... so you have access to 2 TonePrints just like the bigger BH550 and BH800)

* Mini jack input - jam along to your mp3 or drum machine.

* Headphone out - this thing sounds fantastic through headphones! Essential for practicing.

* TC's intelligent EQ (Bass: 80Hz @ Gain: -24 to 0dB; 100Hz @ Gain 0 to +15dB. Mids: 500Hz @ Gain: -24 to 0dB; 800Hz @ Gain 0 to +15dB & 0 to -12 dB. Treble:

Center Freq.: 1800Hz @ Gain: -24 to 0dB; 5000Hz @ Gain 0 to +15dB). A small tweak goes a long way in adapting your sound. It's hard to make this sound bad no matter which way your turn the knobs.

* Quiet fan - I don't even notice it's on when it's on.

* Great for practice as a headphone amp AND great for rehearsing AND great for the studio AND great for a gig (with or without a speaker cab). I'm loving this little amp!

* International voltage - play this in any country in the world.

What's not good about this amp?

* If a wanted more EQ (hi and lo mids) and a seperate gain/volume I would go the BH550 but I think the little BH250 is a winner.
