The result is a perfect pairing of power and driver efficiency that makes it the best sounding 4×5 combo ever made by PJB and, remarkably, with less weight. It has an incredible punchy sound that cuts through air as “a knife through butter” with a solid and powerful low-end response normally associated with a much larger combo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eIn the heart of this amp lies a formidable ultra-high-energy power supply using a Class D power amplifier for high efficiency which equals less heat and less weight, and is coupled with a pure Class-A, ultra-low noise pre amp. This combination completes a power section that achieves a massive dynamic range that allows the player to attain the best tone in any playing situation.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe pre-amp design includes a single channel equipped with a variable gain input section that matches precisely with both active and passive basses. It also features a mute switch and the classic PJB 5-band precision EQ system that achieves the broadest range in tones imaginable with just 5 controls. This allows the player to effortlessly locate their perfect tone within seconds.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe send \/return FX patch can be blended to the direct signal allowing even more tonal opportunities. A secondary AUX input allows for practicing along with backing tracks via a 1\/8” stereo jack. Back panel features include a Line Output jack that allows the BG-450 to be used in slave mode coupled with one or multiple amps, and a line input that provides the ability for an external pre-amp to be connected if desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe DI balanced out can be pre or post EQ and offers a ground lift to avoid problematic hum. Speaker output is via a Speakon NL4 socket perfectly matched to run a C4 or C8 cabinet. The amp can run on any AC voltage from 100 volts to 240 volts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe Compact Plus puts out a punchy 300 watts into its own speakers and up to 500 watts when connected to an external cabinet. The BG-450 at max power will cover a wide variety of playing situations. For environments that demand much higher volume PJB recommends a BP-800 amp with PJB cabinets, or a BG-800 Roadcase as powerful alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phil Jones Bass","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62002240717187,"sku":"PJB-BG450-BLK","price":999.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0432\/6024\/8218\/files\/c2VydmljZT1pbWFnZXMmc3JjPWh0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGd3d3LnBqYndvcmxkLmNvbSUyRmNtcyUyRndwLWNvbnRlbnQlMkZ1cGxvYWRzJTJGMjAyMyUyRjA3JTJGQkctNDUwLWJsYWNrLWFuZ2xlLTMtc2NhbGVkLmpwZyZjYWNoZU1hcmtlcj0.jpg?v=1784112539","url":"https:\/\/astrings.co.uk\/products\/phil-jones-bass-bg-450-bass-compact-plus-500w-combo-amplifier","provider":"A Strings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
