The BMAX is a high quality bass
preamp/processor with applications both in the recording studio
and on the road in demanding live applications. The BMAX has the
warmth and dynamic range usually found in all-tube designs and
delivers the punch and clarity of the best tube preamplifiers.
At the heart of the BMAX is a class A/B front-end, the input
of which emulates the loading effect that the input of classic-design
tube preamp would present to the bass pickups, and one of the
key aspects in the warmth and punch of tube preamps. The DI section
is pure and clean with electronically-balanced output. 1% metal
film resistors, military-spec PC board complete the no-compromise
design of the BMAX.
While no expense was spared in the engineering
and internal componentry, the packaging of the BMAX received
the utmost
attention to detail. From the 1/4” thick extruded front
panel to thoughfully designed ergonomics to the red-abalone-topped
knobs,
the fit and finish of the BMAX exudes quality craftsmanship.
Bassists seeking a premium electric bass preamplifier should
certainly audition the BMAX. No other bass preamp in its price
range can approach the total quality, feature set and superb
tone of the BMAX.
