For years bassists have been combining guitar and bass amps to remarkable effect, adding harmonics and layers of overdrive from guitar amps to their core bass tone in pursuit of the ultimate live sound. This “bi-amp” trend got the engineers thinking, “Why drag two amps to the show when you could take just one?” The result is the OB1-500 500W rack-mountable bass head, which takes care of this and much more. There is also a 300W version, for those who don’t need quite as much punch. The key to the OB1′ unique sound footswitchable Blend circuit, which adds a veneer of controllable gain and increased harmonic content to the upper registers of the input signal. The lower frequencies and clean signal are left alone, staying warm and clear just as they would be in a “bi-amped” setup. Depending on where the Gain and Blend controls are set, the possibilities are limitless. Punch in the Blend control to achieve anything from a transparent clean boost, to all-out filthy grind, and everywhere in between.
