New BassForce Amps from Hughes & Kettner
 March 3, 1999Hughes & Kettner introduced a complete new
line of bass amplifiers at the International Musik Messe in Frankfurt, Germany.
The new BassForce series is for bass players seeking excellent value in a compact,
high-performance combo.
The
new design, in a stylish dark-red housing, has a slanting shape that offers
significantly better sound projection, since the speaker is aimed at the player's
ears instead of his knees. High-efficiency DynaClip™ power amps in the
three models ensures that the player's musical statement can heard even in loud
bands. All BassForce models, "L", "XL" and "XXL",
with 100, 200, and 300 watts respectively, include a 15" speaker for hard-hitting
lows and growling mids. The two larger models also include a switchable high-frequency
horn for featuring the upper harmonics as desired, as well as an "EQ Matrix"
rotary switch, an especially effective tone-shaping tool that calls up typical
sound settings at the turn of a dial. These fundamental sounds can then be further
adjusted to the player's personal style and taste with the additional 3-band
EQ.
All BassForce amps are loud and powerful, easy to use, and offer a tonal variety
that will satisfy even the demanding player. At the same time, the amps are
eminently portable and affordable.
Availability: End of March, 1999.
