Amazing clarity and definition! This is the best sounding amp I've ever played through! The enhance knob is really the magic control. Turned to about the 7 position everything comes alive with only minor tweeking of the EQ. The punch and clarity of this amp & speaker combo is truly amazing! This amp and cab is to bass guitars what 1080p LED HD TVs are to television! It's like the difference between running a high performance exhaust system on your engine vs the factory stock system.
Everything on this amp & cab looks and feels high quality. It has every in/out connection you could ever want or need. It even has a knob to adjust the output of the DI.
The little 1x10 cab puts out an amazing amount of low end and high end clarity. It easily carries the low B string played open and moves a vast amount of air through its bottom port! I've only had this amp for about 5 weeks and have just been playing it at home so I don't know how it will preform in a band.
This rig will let you hear how good your bass really sounds. When I first tried this amp at a music store (Best Buy) I plugged a $130 Dean bass with passive pickups into it and the sound was incredible! I wasn't even looking for another amp but I knew I had to have this one!
OK now to best feature of all-- portability. To have an amp that sounds like this in such a small package is truly incredible! I have been playing bass for over thirty years and have had to lug around heavy and bulky bass amps & cabs. I had a back injury 15 years ago which made this task more difficult. So I have gravitated to smaller and lighter bass amps ever since. The technology today is truly amazing! I used to need a truck to haul my bass gear. This rig could almost be carried on a motorcycle! The head is very small and light. About 4 pounds. It comes with a good looking high quality gig bag. One complaint though is the amp has very sharp corners. The bag has an internal lining of smooth nylon. The fit is very tight which is good except there is a ripping sound when inserting the amp into the bag. Which is quite unnerving. My suggestion to Eden is to round the corners of the back of the amp to prevent tearing the inner lining of the bag.
I own Peavey and Roland bass amps which are great amps, especially in their price range but the Eden is a whole nother level. Again it gets back to clarity and definition. You can easily overdrive this amp to distortion as it produces a minimum of 260 watts. You can get a surprising amount of volume out of this amp but you must adjust the gain and master volume as well as the other controls to prevent distortion. It also has level & limit (clipping) LED lights to confirm what your ears are hearing. The owners manual which is a low budget affair recommends setting the gain so the level light flashes momentarily when you play hard.
I have played my Peavey Unity 4 string with passive PJ pickups. My Peavey Cirrus 5 string with active soap bars. My Conklin Bill Dickins model 7 string with active Bartolini soap bars and my Music Man Stingray fretless 4 string basses through it and they never sounded better!
