NAMM 2018: Blackstar debuterar förstärkare för basister
Fem kombos med wattstyrka från 30 till 500 watt.
Efter lite över tio år i branschen som tillverkare av gitarrförstärkare, tågar man nu in på nya marker och presenterar fem baskombos och ett högtalarkabinett i serien Unity. Modellerna U30, U60, U120, U250, U500 och det aktiva kabinettet 250 ACT sträcker sig från 30 till 500 watt och erbjuder en del valmöjligheter vad gäller ljud- och tonkaraktär. Dels finns den patenterade Respons-teknologin som gör att du kan välja mellan tre olika förstärkarsteg, och dels switchar och reglage som sträcker sig från clean till rejält med fuzz. En fyrabands semi-parametrisk eq har även slunkit med ombord.
Nedanför följer tekniska specifikationer och priser.
