From Our Research Team:

A Compact Bass Head Loaded with Tone

The TC Electronic Classic450 bass amp head gives you great bass tone in an ultra-portable format. Two amazing tone functions and a 4-band EQ give you excellent control over your sound. The Classic450's SpectraComp dynamics circuit is a fully optimized 3-band spectral compression tool that adds thump to your low end, snap to your attacks, and mellows your mids, all without crushing the life out of your tone. Its Tube Tone mimics not only the "warmth" of tube-based preamps but also the sag and overdrive of tube power amp technology, so the tube drive you dial in sound and feels just like a real tube amp. Last but not least, the Classic450's 4-band EQ is four bands of vintage voiced equalization, giving you excellent frequency control and a classic mellow edge.

Good light amp head

by Jerry from New York

Music Background: guitarist 30 years
Should be enough power for any single cabinet. Im not looking to power a stack tower of speakers and play Madison Square Garden.
If this kind of power is not enough then I am in the wrong b... read more [+]and. Should run at 8 ohms at around 250 watts which again should be enough power to shake any single cabinet. The 450 rating is at 4 ohms. Play through the Epifini 400 watt 15 inch cabinet. The compressor is good, the overdrive is not too useful-- the tone loses bass and goes out of phase in overdrive mode. close [-]
