Demeter Sound in an Affordable Package

The famous Demeter sound and quality is now much more affordable, building on the concept of our VTBP-M-800D. We wanted to come up with even a smaller more competitively priced Amplifier that could deliver the Demeter sound, while keeping the compromises to a bare minimum. We are more than happy with the results. Real tube sound with lots of class D power in a small great looking Package. The Bass 400 & BSC-310 recently won the Premiere Gear award from Premiere Guitar!
