Manufacturer's description
The B-500DR takes Ampeg innovation to a new level, combining a digital interface with a traditional preamp and a state-of-the-art MOSFET power amp. Featuring separate inputs for use with two different instruments and digitally-encoded controls for gain, EQ, and effects blend, the Ampeg B-500DR delivers 500-Watts of bone-crushing power.
With its digital interface, the B-500DR can store and recall up to four individual EQ scenes, which you define and then access via the front panel, or by footswitch. Possible uses might include a slap bass preset, solo gain boost, or low-/mid-frequency boost. Or, you could use it to save specific tone presets for your favorite basses.
