TC Electronic BQ250 Overview

Get more bang for your buck with the compact yet powerful Thrust BQ250 from TC Electronic, a 250W Class-D bass amp head, loaded with the versatile Thrust compressor for optimal dynamics and nuance. With 4-band EQ control and separate gain and master volume controls, there are no limits as to how you can shape your bass tone.

The preamp sports a high-voltage MOSFET design that delivers authentic-sounding tubelike tones without the weight and size associated with vacuum tubes. The BQ250 features a balanced XLR DI output for PAs and audio interfaces, a headphone output with speaker emulation for silent practice, a stereo aux input for rehearsals, and a 4-ohm speakON speaker output for connecting to external cabinets. The rugged steel chassis is designed to survive the rigors of years of touring. The BQ250 features protections against short circuits, thermal overloads, and low speaker impedance, and the universal internal power supply supports all power types for global compatibility.

Portable Power
Built for the pragmatic bass player, the 250W BQ250 is designed with portability and power in mind. The cutting-edge class-D circuit features a high-voltage MOSFET preamp that delivers the authentic feel and dynamic response of a real tube amp. A powerful 4-band EQ lets you sculpt your tone exactly how you like it, while the balanced DI output makes it easy to connect to the FoH (Front of House) mixing console or your recording equipment.
Versatility and Tone
A passive/active switch optimizes preamp input for basses loaded with either passive or active pickups for the best tonal response possible. BQ250 features the highly versatile, single-knob Thrust compressor circuit that accurately sets the dynamic range of your playing and provides maximum punch to catapult your tone across the stage.
Practical Practicing
BQ250 is also the perfect practice tool thanks to its high-quality headphone amplifier with speaker emulation and the stereo aux input, which lets you jam along with all your favorite grooves, songs, or tracks.
