Weighing in at just 8.5 pounds, this amp features a responsive 12AX7 tube-driven preamp for plenty of warmth and bass richness, backed by 800 watts of true continuous power.Sculpt Your ToneThe LX8500's Tone Stack EQ section is designed to capture the character of the bass guitar as soon as you plug it in. It features traditional treble and bass knobs, as well as a footswitch-selectable mid-frequency filter knob and a shape knob that controls the depth of the filter. The Brite button can be selected to boost high frequencies to bring out the top end of the bass and emphasize natural harmonic overtones.Total ControlThe LX8500 offers essential onboard effects designed to enhance your playing and add additional options to your tonal arsenal. An all-new integrated Drive control can be used to add a touch of grit or throttled for an authentic fuzz tone, and is selectable via a footswitch. A variable Compressor knob can be used to smooth transients, add punch and presence to your attack, and balance dynamics for players using slapping, tapping, and thumb picking techniques.Gig-Ready DesignThe LX8500 is the ideal amplifier for stage, studio and rehearsal space, offering all the essential connections and features in a single compact and lightweight package. An XLR direct output with pre and post EQ selection allows direct connection to a PA or recording console. A 1/8" headphone output allows for quiet practice sessions, while a 1/8" auxiliary input can be used to connect phones or MP3 players. An effects loop with send and return connections can be used with your favorite time-based effects as well as the onboard 1/4" tuner output. The LX8500 has two TRS footswitch inputs to control Drive, Effects Loop, Brite, and Frequency parameters.SpecificationsContinuous Average Output Power: 800 watts @ 4 ohms, 525 watts @ 8 ohmsPreamp: Class A, with 12AX7 Low Noise High-Mu Twin TriodeInput: >1MΩ unbalancedCompressor Ratio: Fixed 2:1Compressor Threshold: Off to -30dBu to InputMute: >80dB (100dB typical) at Direct Output & Speaker OutputBrite Switch: 10kHz, +8dB Gain @ 2 o’clock; +5dB Gain @ minBass Knob: +8/-14dB @ 80Hz relative to 12 o’clockShape Knob: +11/-3dB relative to 12 o’clockFrequency Knob: 200Hz-800HzTreble Knob: +5/-20dB @ 6kHz relative to 12 o’clockFX Loop Send: 200Ω impedance balancedFX Loop Return: 20kΩ balanced, 5.5dBu for Rated Output PowerTuner Output: 100Ω unbalancedDirect Output: 210Ω balancedStereo Aux Input: 3kΩ unbalanced, -10dBVHeadphones: 80mW max @ 32ΩDimensions: 14” x 12” x 3” / 355mm x 300mm x 73mmWeight: 8.5lb / 3.85kg
