Description
Here's what Ampeg say about the Rocket Amp:
The 500-watt Ampeg Rocket Bass RB-210 combo bass amp offers unparalleled performance, stunning ’60s-style looks, and a robust feature set in a light and portable package — making it the ideal gigging amp.
Like its legendary larger siblings, the RB-210 combo offers classic Ampeg 3-band EQ and Ultra Hi/Ultra Lo switches, which tone aficionados know are critical to sculpting the perfect bass sound. Plus, a newly designed switchable Super Grit Technology overdrive circuit with independent Grit and Level controls adds warm and gutsy growl. A mutable high-frequency horn complements the dual 10" Eminence speakers.
An effects loop and extension speaker output add flexibility, an auxiliary input lets you play a long with external audio, a headphone output ensures you’ll be able to practice whenever you like, and the XLR direct output provides a professional connection to a P.A. or recorder.
