Full Description
View Full DescriptionThe Adam Clayton bass sound
The man needs no introduction. As the bassist of U2, one of the biggest bands in the world, Adam Clayton's basslines have graced our ears for many decades, and continue to inspire musicians around the world. It's no wonder his signature amp is a masterfully made tribute to bass tone, which represents the very best, vintage-style quality you can get.
All-tube tone
Old technology. New horizons. This amp is filled to the brim with quality valves, which will give you that timeless tone which bassists know and love. Three 12AX7s and a 12AT7 in the preamp help to craft your tone, delivering punch, clarity, and bite in the high end. The duo of 6L6 output valves then deliver thunderous power, which will fill any venue with bass. This technology may be as old as time itself, but it is still the favourite for many bassists around the world - because it still sound spectacular, and it's real!
Dial in your dream tone
A man like Adam Clayton demands exacting control over his sound. And with his signature amp, this is exactly what you'll have. The ACB 50's two-channel design allows you to explore two vastly different amp voicings. Go from a vintage-style mid-scooped Fender tone to a much more modern, cutting-edge hi-fi, flat EQ voicing at the push of a button. You'll then be able to carve out your own sound using a dynamic array of EQ dials for each channel. There's even a dedicated Mid Freq midrange control for one of the channels, which lets you accurately shape your mids. It switches between Low, Mid, and High, which gives you unparalleled mastery over this frequency.
Superb speaker
Let the bass take centre stage. With a 15" Eminence speaker at your disposal, you'll be able to punch through any mix with impeccable ease. Designed for exceptional articulation and creating a fat, powerful voicing, it'll really help your basslines pop. In addition, there's an XLR line out of you want to go directly into a PA or your DAW - everything the modern musician needs!
