It is 500 watts through two 10-inch Eminence Opus speakers, and it gives you real choices at the preamp, the drive stage and the power amp rather than one fixed voice with an EQ bolted on the end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThree power amp stages\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt starts with Blackstar's unique Response control, which gives you the choice of three classic power amp stages, Linear, 6L6 and 6550. Switching between them shapes your compression, natural drive and dynamics, which is a different kind of change from turning a tone knob. The names point to the character of each, and the difference shows up most in how the amp reacts as you dig in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePreamp voicings and drive\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree distinct preamp voicings are on offer, Classic, Modern and Flat, and each can be sculpted with a 3-band EQ that includes a semi-parametric Mid knob. The Drive section carries three overdrives, OD, Distortion and Fuzz, with a user-controllable blend so the dirt can sit underneath the clean tone instead of replacing it. Built-in compression, chorus and sub-octave effects handle punch, depth and low-end muscle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eConnections for stage and studio\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe U500 is packed to the gills with connectivity. There is an XLR and 1\/4-inch line output, a headphones output with independent level control, and a -10dB pad that accommodates both active and passive instruments. An MP3 and line input is onboard for practice sessions, and a built-in effects loop integrates your pedals and external processors. A cabinet-emulated line output and a USB audio output make DI recording straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRoom to grow\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe U500 features an integrated link for Blackstar's Unity U250ACT powered cabinet, which allows you to add an extra 250 watts of power to your rig. That is a useful path if the combo covers most of your gigs and you occasionally need more behind you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49101280313600,"sku":"UNITY-BASS-500","price":894.5,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/0871\/5776\/files\/blackstar-unity-bass-500-01.jpg?v=1785439193","url":"https:\/\/musicshop.sg\/products\/blackstar-unity-bass-u500-500-watt-2-x-10-inch-bass-combo-amp","provider":"Musicshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
