ULTRABASS BT108
1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! By purchasing the BT108, you have obtained
a first-class bass amplifier that offers you the authentic tube-like
sound in an amazingly compact housing.
The ULTRABASS BT108 amplifier was designed specifically
for practicing. You can do the finishing touches using the precise
4-band EQ. With its well-balanced basic sound it gives you what
is most important when playing: lots of fun!
VTC Virtual Tube Circuitry
The VTC Virtual Tube Circuitry was specially developed to
lend the bass sound the unique character of classic tube amps.
Jam it up!
With its CD player input, your BT108 is the ultimate practice
amp, because it couldnt be easier to play along to your favorite
music. If you dont want anybody listening to what youre playing,
or simply wish to avoid disturbing the neighbors, just use your
headphones. The BEHRINGER HPS3000 is ideal just for that.
A companion for life!
The electronic components in your ULTRABASS BT108 have
been built into a robust metal enclosure for maximum protection.
The cabinet is made of high-grade wood covered with durable
vinyl. The BT108 will never let you down, even when the going
gets tough.
+ Please read the manual carefully and keep it around
for future reference.
ATTENTION!
+ High volume levels can damage your hearing or your
headphones. Please turn down the VOLUME control
to zero (all the way to the left) before you power up
the amp. Always make sure you use appropriate
volume levels.

FOREWORD
Dear musician,
Congratulations and
thank you very much for
purchasing the BT108,
the newest addition to
BEHRINGERs range of
bass amplification
products.
The ULTRABASS BT108
offers the latest in bass
amps, and is guaranteed
to be an inspiring
companion wherever
music takes you.
Had anybody told you a
few years ago that one
day youd be able to buy
a bass amp with
authentic tube sound at
such an unbeatable
price, you would have
probably called him nuts. But I wanted this amp to become reality,
and now weve actually made it! With our ULTRABASS BT108
you can now follow in the footsteps of all the big bass legends.
Simply unpack it, plug it in and youre ready to go! The ULTRABASS
BT108 gives you everything your heart desires.
What we really wanted was to give you a truly high-quality bass
amp. Believe me: With all those years of experience under our
belt, we know what an amp needs to put up with. No matter how
often you practice or how many sessions you have with your
friends: when it comes to quality and sound, your
ULTRABASS BT108 will give you years and years of pure
enjoyment.
Now, just in case youre wondering how we can offer such a
high-quality bass amp at such an unbelievably low price... the
answer is totally simple: its thanks to you! Many satisfied
customers means large volumes of units sold. Many units sold
means better purchase prices for components, and so on. So,
we just passed this price advantage on to you. Its only fair, isnt
it?
Enough talk now. One day, when youre one of those legendary
bassists yourself, we hope youll say that your first real bass
amp was a BEHRINGER. In that case, you have made a dream
come true for us, too.
Thank you very much,
Uli Behringer
