The Bassmaster XS800H
Thank you for choosing the Bassmaster XS800H. This advanced bass amplifier is extremely
versatile, delivering a wide spectrum of tonal performance characteristics. More importantly, it
has the ability to sound right with a minimum amount of knob twirling.
When you need the extras, they're all here:
• Selectable Solid-State or Tube input gain
• Inputs for either Passive (0 dB) or Active basses (-6 dB).
• A tube preamp, for warmth, and a solid-state output stage for definition.
TUBE
• Gain and Drive controls let you dial-in the perfect blend of warmth and even overdrive.
TUBE
• The Drive circuit can be activated by using the switch on the front panel or by using
an optional footswitch.
• The Drive Mix control let's you dial-in the amount of tube drive.
• The Scoop control lets you tailor your sound precisely and uniquely.
• The Resonance control allows you to tweak the bass tone from tight to loose.
• Five-band, active tone shaping controls. Including a fine-tunable Parametric Mid.
• External effects patching with an Effects Return level control and footswitch jack.
• An easy-to-use Compressor circuit provides even more detailed control of your tonal quality.
• A separate, selectable Limiter circuit helps prevent output-stage from clipping.
• A Tuner Out jack lets you keep your tuner connected (and always) available for quick reference
and adjustments. The Mute button lets you ensure that the audience doesn't hear you tuning!
• Balanced ¼-inch TRS and XLR line outs selectable between DI or Line.
