Bugera BXD15 Overview
Compact, versatile, and fully stage ready, the Ultrabass BXD15 from Bugera is a 1000W solid-state combo bass amplifier with a 15″ Turbosound paper cone. Loaded with a high-voltage MOSFET preamp and passive 3-band Gyrator EQ with a 5-position mid-frequency switch, you can get tubelike tones to cover any style in any environment.
The BXD15 is packed with comprehensive tone control features beyond its versatile EQ, including Ultra Low and Ultra High switches for extended EQ range, a compressor based on a famous studio design, and more. With Dynamizer technology, your voltages are constantly optimized for a fat, punchy tone at any volume level. Thanks to flexible I/OXLR DI output, aux inputs, tuner output, and FX loopand a wedge-shaped cabinet, this amp is comfortable on stages and in studios. Finally, the BXD15 comes with plenty of protections, including an active cooling system with variable fan speed and DC and thermal overload protections.
Class-D: Massive Power, Optimal Sound Thanks to their advanced Class-D amplifier technology, Bugera can provide you with enormous power and incredible sonic performance in an easy-to-use ultraportable and lightweight package. Class-D amplification makes all the difference, offering the ultimate in energy efficiency and eliminating the need for heavy power supplies and massive heat sinks. This technology makes it possible to design and build extremely powerful products that are significantly lighter in weight than their traditional counterparts, while using less energy and protecting the environment. MOSFET Preamp Bugera’s high-voltage MOSFET preamplifier elevates solid-state bass tone to a whole new level, providing the sound, feel, and immense dynamics of an authentic tube amp. Just as with real tubes, Bugera’s new MOSFET circuits operate at high voltages, providing the preamp with significant headroomfrom subtle, nuanced signature riffs and bass lines to your most powerful attention-grabbing solos. Studio-Quality Compressor The studio-grade compressor is based on classic and famous studio equipment from the ’70s. This totally transparent and musical compressor design allows your full dynamic range to shine through until your signal reaches the compression threshold, which is indicated by the highly visible status LED.
The compressor increases sustain and gently smoothens signal peaks, which is especially handy when youre laying down funk using a slap-and-pop technique or hammering home your most aggressive metal lines. The resulting output level lets you unleash powerful, impact-laden bass lines, while sitting right where you need to be in the mix.
Dynamizer Technology A secret technique when mixing audio is known as parallel compression (or New Yorkstyle compression), which mixes an unprocessed dry signal with a heavily compressed wet signal. This brings up the softest sounds to add audible detail instead of bringing down the highest peaks (as usually occurs with compression).
Now, this technology is available to you right in your bass amp through Dynamizer technology. By working directly with the amplifier circuitry, Dynamizer tech adds detail and a fat punch, whether playing very softly or extremely loud. This allows you to take full advantage of every watt available to you.
