This two-channel, footswitchable, class A/B powerhouse is rated at 120 watts @ 4 or 8 ohms.

Basson included an additive EQ, active all-tube send and receive controllable effects loop, point to point wiring, silver mica capacitors, silver Teflon wire, (which are also military spec) and military grade metal film resistors.
Covering available is black Tolex with black or grey mesh face. A top grab handle and nickel or black corner protectors are included depending on the model chosen.
These amplifiers are selling in the U.S.A for an MSRP of $1,595. A five-year limited manufacturers warranty is included with every Basson product. For more information, visit their web site at www.bassonsound.com.
