TXB50 specifications

The Crate Amplifiers TXB50 is a powerful and versatile combo amplifier designed for bass guitarists who demand quality sound, portability, and reliability. With its 50-watt RMS power output, this amplifier provides sufficient volume for small to medium-sized gigs, rehearsals, and practice sessions. The TXB50 is well-regarded for its quality craftsmanship and features that cater to both amateur and professional musicians.

One of the standout features of the TXB50 is its custom-designed speaker. The amplifier is equipped with a 12-inch speaker that produces a deep, rich tone with excellent clarity. Whether you’re playing rock, jazz, or funk, the TXB50 delivers a balanced sound that emphasizes the low-end frequencies, making your bass lines resonate beautifully.

The amplifier showcases a bi-amped design, which separates the high and low frequencies for improved sound reproduction. This technology ensures that the low frequencies are delivered with power and presence while maintaining clarity in the high frequencies. The result is a full-bodied sound that allows musicians to express their creativity without straining to be heard.

Another notable characteristic of the TXB50 is its extensive EQ section. The amplifier features a 3-band EQ with bass, middle, and treble controls, allowing users to shape their sound to their liking. This level of control is essential for bassists looking to dial in their tone for different musical styles or performance settings. Additionally, the amp includes a contour switch that enhances sonic versatility by adjusting the tonal characteristics to better suit various musical genres.

For convenient connectivity, the TXB50 comes with multiple input options, including a 1/4-inch input for electric bass, as well as auxiliary input for connecting external devices like smartphones or MP3 players. This feature enables musicians to play along with their favorite tracks or use backing tracks during practice or performance.

The Crate TXB50 is also equipped with a headphone output, allowing for private practice sessions without disturbing others. This feature is a boon for home practice or late-night sessions.

In summary, the Crate Amplifiers TXB50 stands out for its robust sound, user-friendly controls, and portability. With its powerful custom-designed speaker, bi-amped technology, and comprehensive EQ options, it caters to bassists looking for an amplifier that delivers quality and versatility in a single package. Whether you're in the studio or on stage, the TXB50 is an excellent choice for bassists at any level.
