Marshall B150 Bass Amp
January 18, 1996
Marshall Amplification introduces a new 150 Watt 1x15 combo to its Bass-State line, the B150. The Bass-State range was launched in the summer of '95 and uses specially designed circuitry that accurately emulates the performance and dynamics of an all-valve amplifier.
The B150 incorporates several of the features of Marshall's critically acclaimed Dynamic Bass System including a blendable valve (lx12AX7)/solid state pre-amp stage. In addition to this Blend feature the combo has controls for Gain, Bass, Treble, Compression ("soft knee" with an LED threshold indicator) and Volume. The B150 primary EQ is further enhanced by Deep and Bright switches and a 7-Band Graphic Equalizer which has been optimally tuned for the bass guitar's frequency range.
The B150 boasts a Limiter Switch which activates built-in limiter circuitry featuring Marshall's brand new SLS technology. The specially designed SLS circuitry allows optimum clean performance at high volume levels. When the SLS technology isn't engaged, the natural, warm, tube-like power amp distortion of Bass-State comes into play. The B150 also has Active and Passive inputs, an FX loop, a Line Out jack, an XLR DI output with Earth Lift switch and a specially designed heavy duty 15" speaker.
While being extremely compact and portable, the B150 combo has more than enough projection and power for the gigging club player.
