Premier Guitar Reviews The Big Bang

"A bass amp that weighs less than most basses on the market!"

"The VPF control was incredibly useful"

A standout quality of the Big Bang is its transparency"

"Clarity and warmth of the Big Bang tones was nothing short of remarkable"

"This amp has an analog quality that coats the highs and attack—almost as if there’s a post-EQ “warmth” circuit that processes the tone."

"An excellent choice for the player who demands great tone with power, definition and portability"
