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.

Important Additional Info Manual BBE BMAX Bass Guitar Preamp Manual Customer Review Rate and Review this Product: 1 person wrote a review 12 people rated this item Josh from Greensboro, NC, USA Overall Ranking: Action: Features: Finish: Playability: Quality: Sound: Tone: Subject: MUST HAVE!! Quality: I've owned it a month -- no issues. We'll see what's to come down the road. Features: I really like the features of this unit. Optical compressor, BBE Sonic Maximizer technology, powerful EQ system. I would prefer that the EQ section be set up for boost/cut, as opposed to boost only (bass & treble) and cut only (midrange). The saving grace of this design is the separate boost/cut mid level knob companioned with the selectable frequency knob. Knobs are easy to read on stage. I like that the compressor and sonic maximizer can be switched on/off with a switch on the face of the unit or with a footswitch. Sound: I'm on a budget. I can't afford the Fender American Deluxe 5-string Jazz Bass that I want. Nevertheless, I hook up the Fender Squire Vintage Modified 70's 5-string Jazz Bass (also ordered from AMS), which sounds great on its own, and it sounds like the American Deluxe that I want. Blew my mind when I played through it the first time, and continues to. Playability and Feel: Controls are a bit different than I'm used to, but very easy to adjust to with a minimal learning curve. Tone: I've been able to accomidate great tone for my country band and for a few studio sessions with this unit. Everything from uber warm R&B tone to bright and snappy slap tone. Works well for rock, country, R&B, gospel, jazz, fusion, funk, ...whatever. I'm extremely impressed with this BBE BMAX preamp. Finish: Flawless black case, chrome knobs, cool looking red "jewels" capping the knobs, facing out from the case. Action: It doesn't really have "action"... Its a preamp...
