BBE BMAX Bass Guitar Preamp

The BMAX is a high quality bass preamp/processor for the recording studio and on the stage. At the heart of the BMAX is a class A/B front-end, the input of which emulates the loading effect that the input of classic-design tube preamp would present to the bass pickups, and one of the key aspects in the warmth and punch of tube preamps. The BMAX also provides a pure and clean electronically-balanced DI output. From its 1/4" thick extruded front panel to thoughfully designed ergonomics to the red-abalone-topped knobs, the fit and finish of the BMAX exudes quality craftsmanship.

Features

  • The BMAX is perfect anywhere an extremely high-quality, pristine preamplifier is required for the bass guitar
  • In the recording studio where a bass amplifier is impractical due to space or loudness considerations
  • In performance applications, where players will find the BMAX ergonomics intuitive and easy to use
  • The BMAX EQ and Dynamic controls, combined with the patented Sonic Maximizer processor, afford a wide palette of tonal choices
