The new 12 band series is based around the GP12X preamp - the most powerful and versatile of any currently available. Familiar to those acquainted with the SMX range, the GP12X is nevertheless much more than simply an upgraded existing model. In addition to the 12 band graphic, switchable pre-shape EQ curve and dual band compressor of the SMX range, the new GP12X features MIDI control, Harmonic Emphasis, a switchable, variable valve stage and noise reduction. These new features, coupled with bigger output stages and comprehensive effects loops make the 12 band amplifiers the choice for the creative, professional bass player. Its more versatile, more powerful and more exciting than anything thats gone before.

The combination of the AH1000-12 and the BFC represents the worlds first all-in-one tri-ampable stereo bass rig, allowing bass players unprecedented flexibility and power.
