Congratulations and thank you for
purchasing the HUGHES & KETTNER
BassKick!
The team of bass players and techs that
developed the BassKick amps had three key
design goals in mind: they should deliver high
quality bass sounds, be very easy to use, and
include all the key features working musicians
need.
The BassKick 303 amps are ideal for small to
medium-sized stages and rehearsal rooms.
Their tube-like sound is generated exclusively
from solid-state components, utilizing Hughes
& Kettner’s landmark DynaClip circuitry. In
contrast to conventional compressors and
limiters, DynaClip does not simply limit or
reduce the power amp signal, but shapes it,
delivering the same kind of response as does an
actual tube power amp. This type of
compression has a very natural feel, complete
with the warm overtones and brilliant transient
response you might expect from a high quality
tube amplifier.
The SoundMatrix - a sophisticated system of
special filters - gives you the tools to dial in the
full range of bass sounds today’s players need.
This SoundMatrix lets you shape your tone in a
more musical and natural manner than even a
32-band graphic equalizer can, and is far easier
to operate.
We wish you much enjoyment and
success with your new BassKick amp!
