Warwick BC 80

Our considerations in these amp designs were multifold and our objective is to provide:

• An aspiring bass players first amp.
• A seasoned professionals “residential amp” (to be used for practicing and pleasure playing at home).
• A backstage tune-up/warm-up amp.
• A teachers amp where both the student and the teacher can plug in simultaneously while playing musical examples with a music player through the auxiliary input.
• An amp for rehearsals, where space and sound levels are limited.
• 
  

CLASS-A CIRCUITRY

Class-A amplifiers are typically more linear and, as such, are less complex than other amplifier classes. The amplifying element is biased so the device is always conducting to some extent. This means the amplifier is always
on, avoiding the problem of crossover distortion associated with class-AB and -B designs.

Low-Z CIRCUITRY

By lowering the impedance inside an electronic circuit you lower the amount of thermal noise. In an amp where you have tone controls that lift mids and highs a considerable amount, proper impedance level makes the difference between enduring audible annoying hiss, and enjoying a pleasant tonal experience.

INTEGRATED SPEAKER DESIGN

All the speaker drivers and cabinets have been designed in tandem with the electronics to create units that work together efficiently. Careful consideration has been taken to modify all parameters, thereby achieving the best results in sound and performance. All components reflect a custom designed solution to give the end user optimum control over his/her tone,
volume and configuration
