Blackstar UNITY500 2x10in 500 Watt Bass Amp

The Blackstar Unity Bass U500 bass combo amplifier was built for tonal flexibility. Switch between three power amp stages via the U500's Response control to shape your compression, natural drive, and dynamics. Choose between three distinct preamp voicings, and then sculpt the result with a 3-band EQ. Increase your bass's punch, depth, and low end, with compression, chorus, and sub-octave effects. The U500 is loaded with enough connectivity for live, studio, and home use. And if you want to beef up your output onstage, you can add a Unity U250ACT powered cabinet for an extra 250 watts of power. Get the eminently versatile Unity Bass U500, and everything from valve grind to high-headroom clean will be within your grasp.
