EBS HD360 30 Years Anniversary model (HD350 filters) Class AB Head
Purchased from JapanAxe for a project unfortunately not used, so I have use Greme's description as its as purchased . Try with my LFsys Monaco, which is for sale on this site
Description
The amp really brings out the difference between the basses I played through it, and somehow seems to increase the range of their passive tone controls. I have used it on a few gigs and rehearsals, but in the end I prefer the sound of my (rather more expensive) Demeter head.
Features
Power: 300W RMS into a load of 2-4ohms. I've found that to be plenty into my BF Super Twin.
Weight: 9kg/20lb. Yep, not a heavyweight, despite the mahoosive toroidal transformer inside.
Rack mountable (2U) or sits firmly on a cab on its rubber feet.
As I understand it, this model has the filters from the HD350 (which people seem to prefer) with the extra features of the HD360 (e.g. light-up push-switches). The facility to make quick comparisons between flat and EQ'd sounds using the Filter switch is handy. This may seem like an odd thing to say, but the thing I liked best about the TC Classic 450 I once owned was the ability to dial in some subtle compression and drive for a vintage-y sound, and then leave it. This amp does that too, but in a much classier package. It also saved me having to put together a pedalboard.
The Comp/Limit circuit comes after the Filter section, so with it engaged, boosting the Bass can change the tonal balance without massively changing the volume, and still lets the fundamentals come through when playing up the dusty end.
Drive is great for adding in some 'fur', in fact at settings below noon it is not a million miles from how my Ampeg PF-50T used to sound when pushed. It goes up into full-on distortion territory if that's your thing.
Character works well to beef up your sound without adding unwanted low-end flub.
For any of you who are dubious about musical equipment built in the Far East, I can tell you this was built in Sweden.
Condition
The amp is in excellent condition and comes with its original shipping box, user manual, and a nice coffee-table book about EBS.
