Overview

Huge sound and gig-ready power in a super-portable head.

The TC Electronic Thrust BQ250 bass amplifier head brings 250W of thunderous low end in a remarkably compact and lightweight design. With its MOSFET preamp, the BQ250 delivers the rich harmonics and dynamic feel of a tube amp with modern reliability. Shape your sound with the intuitive 4-band EQ, add some compression to tighten up the lows or plug phones in to practice anywhere. Plus, the balanced DI out makes it easy to connect to PA systems and recording gear.

MOSFET Preamp Emulates the Warmth of Tubes

At the core of the Thrust BQ250 is a MOSFET preamp that authentically recreates the highly responsive feel and harmonic complexity of tube amps. The musicality of tubes comes from their natural compression and saturating overdrive when pushed hard. MOSFET designs aim to emulate those qualities through solid-state circuitry for reliable performance. So you get the singing sustain and vocal midrange of tubes without the hassle. Dial in just the right amount of grit with the gain control while blending in the original clean tone.

Sculpt Your Sound with the 4-Band EQ

Having the right tone shaping tools is crucial for bassists to sit properly in the mix. The BQ250 equips you with bass, midrange, treble and presence controls to craft your ideal sound. Boost lows to rattle the floor or cut mids to lock in with the kick drum. Let the treble sparkle for funk or pull it back for a smooth R&B vibe. The presence control highlights pick attack and string noise so you can better cut through loud guitar stacks.

Built-in Compression Keeps Levels Consistent

Inconsistent dynamics can muddy up the low end and cause your soundman headaches. The Thrust BQ250 has an integrated compressor circuit that evens out your dynamics and adds punch. It's perfect for taming the peaks and valleys when you dig into the strings or ease back. The compressor helps you maintain a solid foundation so every note comes through clearly in the mix. Just set it and forget it.
