Compact, versatile, and fully stage ready, the Ultrabass BXD12 from Bugera is a 1000W solid-state combo bass amplifier with a 12" Turbosound paper cone. Loaded with a high-voltage MOSFET preamp and passive 3-band Gyrator EQ with a 5-position mid-frequency switch, you can get tubelike tones to cover any style in any environment.
The BXD12 is packed with comprehensive tone control features beyond its versatile EQ, including Ultra Low and Ultra High switches for extended EQ range, a compressor based on a famous studio design, and more. With Dynamizer technology, your voltages are constantly optimized for a fat, punchy tone at any volume level. Thanks to flexible I/O—including an XLR DI output, aux inputs, a tuner output, and an FX loop—and a wedge-shaped cabinet, this amp is comfortable on stages and in studios. Finally, the BXD12 comes with plenty of protections, including an active cooling system with variable fan speed, and DC and thermal overload protections.
The compressor increases sustain and gently smoothens out signal peaks, which is especially handy when you’re laying down the funk, such as slap and pop technique, or hammering home your most-aggressive metal lines. The resulting output level lets you unleash powerful, impact-laden bass lines, while sitting right where you need to be in the mix.
Now, this technology is available to you right in your bass amp through Dynamizer technology. By working directly with the amplifier circuitry, Dynamizer tech adds detail and a fat punch, whether playing very softly or extremely loud. This allows you to take full advantage of every watt available to you.
