Description
This ALBIT-style portable tube amp features a tube preamp using two 12AX7s and a fully analog amplifier using a conventional power transformer, all packed into a relatively compact 7kg case! The sound has a weight and density that is different from Class D!

The legendary "B-200" amp head, which first appeared in 1985 and is still loved by many musicians today, was developed based on the experience of Albit's Nakazawa as a PA operator. It featured a 4-band EQ that was designed to resemble an audible sound, which was fundamentally different from the EQ characteristics of conventional bass amps, and it gave birth to a new concept in Japanese-made bass amps. This has been passed down to the company's products since then, including the A1BP.

The B-450A, the company's 35th anniversary model, builds on the ALBIT sound it has built over the years with further refinements, adding clarity and refinement to deliver a high-quality, clear sound. The original 4-band tone control, inherited from the B-200, has been adapted for modern environments, evolving the classic ALBIT sound into a cutting-edge, modern amp sound. The PRESENCE control allows you to select between two sound systems, and the GAIN control optimizes the input for different output levels for each instrument, delivering a bold, well-defined sound that stands out and stands out in a band ensemble.

It fully brings out the inherent characteristics of the instrument's sound, reproducing the nuances of the performer's delicate touch with a sense of speed and realism, aiming for a supreme sound never before heard.
