The EICH T500 is a remarkably small 500-watt bass head that delivers the kind of power and control normally associated with a much larger amplifier. The Class-D power section puts out 500 watts at 4 ohms and 300 watts at 8 ohms.

Designed by industry veteran Thomas Eich, these amplifiers prioritize a clean, neutral, and high-fidelity sound. They do not artificially color your sound, allowing the natural acoustic character of your specific bass guitar and pedalboard to come straight through.

When you want a bit more, the four-band EQ and exclusive EICH Taste control (turn it left for a drier, and tighter tone, while turning it right adds warmth, fatness, and a more vintage saturation) gives you a wide range of tonal shaping without making the amp complicated to use.

It has a transformer-balanced pre/post DI with ground lift, parallel effects loop, tuner and line outputs, AUX input, and a headphone output for silent practice. At just 3.28 pounds, it's an easy amp to keep in a gig bag or carry as a backup.
