A robust 800W output ensures exceptional performance across various speaker setups, supported by a quiet, variable-speed fan for reliable, heavy-duty use.

The Bass Block V803 is designed to meet the demands of professional musicians, providing robust performance and flexibility. Whether seeking the precision of modern amplification or the nostalgic tone of vintage tube amps, this amplifier provides high-quality sound and reliable operation in a compact, modern package.

Power and Performance

Delivers over 800W to handle any speaker with ease. A high-current Class-D power section that combines old-school dynamic warmth with the efficiency of modern technology.

Three Unique Amp Modes

The Voice switch provides three distinct amplifier profiles – MODERN ( same system as prior 800 and 802 models, with tight solid-state output and “bottomless” limiter). WARM (tube-type output impedance with the same bottomless limiter), and Q-TUBE (tube-type output impedance with classic tube clipping) – each delivering a unique dynamic response ranging from tight, controlled solid-state performance to lush, vintage tube warmth and overdrive.

Tone Shaping

A 3-band EQ with four controls (Bass, Midrange with sweepable frequency, and Treble) offers precise tonal adjustments.

Connectivity and Controls

Includes two high impedance inputs (Flat and Scoop), FX Loop, headphone output with cab-sim, and an XLR Line Out with integral cab-sim and grounding switch. The GAIN control adjusts drive and sensitivity, while the MASTER control matches the output power to various speaker ratings.

Additional Features

The rear panel offers dual Speakon™ Combo connectors for speaker compatibility, a locking AC cord for reliable power connection, and universal AC power support for use worldwide. The XLR Line Out pre-MASTER for consistent signal level regardless of where you set stage power.

User Convenience

Features a MUTE-ACTIVE-PASSIVE switch with a bright LED indicator, and an FX Return that can be used as a stealth input for backing tracks. The headphone output automatically switches from FRFR on MODERN to cab-sim on WARM and Q-TUBE settings.

Amp Heads

An amp head contains the core tone and power of a guitar amplifier without the built-in speakers, allowing you to pair it with the cabinet of your choice. This setup offers greater flexibility over sound and volume, as different speaker cabinets can dramatically change the feel and character of the amp. Amp heads are available in valve, solid-state, and hybrid designs, ranging from low-wattage studio models to high-powered touring rigs. They’re ideal for players who want a modular setup, precise control over their tone, and the ability to adapt their rig to different venues, cabinets, or recording situations.

Amps

Guitar amps cover everything needed to amplify, shape, and project your guitar sound, from small practice setups to full stage and studio rigs. In this category you’ll find combo amps, separate amp heads and speaker cabinets, covering valve, solid-state, and hybrid designs, each offering a different feel and response. You’ll also see modelling and digital amps, built-in effects, footswitches, attenuation solutions, replacement speakers, valves, and essential accessories to keep an amp performing at its best. Whether you’re chasing pristine cleans, classic crunch, or modern high-gain tones, guitar amps and related gear are all about finding the right balance of power, tone, and control for the way you play.
