TC Electronic Classic450 – pure tone meets sheer power…

Introducing TC Electronic Classic450 – a brand new bass amp that’s all about pure tone and power. After showing the world our bass amp

credentials with the award-winning RH450, we are back to bass basics with Classic450 – an amp that offers players easy access to a

selection of classic tones based on several vintage combos, all via a versatile tone control section. This sound palette sits on the solid

foundation of TC Electronic’s Tubetone™ and multiband SpectraComp™ technologies. TubeTone™ emulates every characteristic of a tube

pre-amp and power-amp to deliver the full tube sound. SpectraComp™ allows virtually “per string” compression that evens out the

compression across all strings, delivering a quality, punchy sound.

Classic450’s input section caters for both active and passive pickups, while its output is transformer-balanced and galvanically isolated

from the other components of the amp, effectively eliminating ground loops and hum. Classic450 is fully compatible with all TC Electronic

RS cabinets and will drive any triple combination of the existing models (RS210, RS212, RS410). And with a fully transformer-balanced

line driver output, you get a perfect reproduction of Classic450’s tone both for recording and live use – making the amp equally at home on

the road and in the studio.

Classic450 is what bass players have been missing: classic sounds, ease of use and raw power; all in a compact and sturdy box that can

be taken anywhere.
