Super Redhead™

4420100000

Originally developed in the late 1980’s with direct input from studio musicians working in Los Angeles, the Super Redhead stands alone as the original ultimate studio combo amp for bass guitar, and sets yet another design standard in the industry. The world-famous SWR tube preamp tone and headroom come from a circuit specially designed to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio, so that close miking and direct XLR outputs are as pristine as possible. For live applications, it has the most power headroom of any SWR combo amp, and easily expands to a full rig with the use of any extension cabinet. Used in literally thousands upon thousands of recordings and gigs at the highest levels, this classic SWR model is true to its roots, unchanged and unmatched for tonal purity.

Features: 350 watts, 450 watts with extension cab, 2x10 enclosure, horn tweeter with attenuator, classic SWR tube preamp with Aural Enhancer™, three-band active EQ with variable midrange, pull turbo (ultra-low) and transparency (ultra-high) controls, studio-quality two-mode XLR out with ground lift and level pad, XLR mute, effects loop with blend control, fan defeat switch, tuner send, speaker on/off switch, stereo headphone out, extension speaker out, single empty rack space for effects unit, removable casters, side spring-loaded handles, front slot port, protective front cover (which doubles as stand for tilt-back use).

22.5”W x 23”H x 16.75”D, 80 lbs.
