Vintage Style, Modern Power – Meet the EBS Classic 500

The EBS Classic 500 combines vintage style with modern power. Delivering 500W into 2 ohms, it offers a warm, tube-like tone—without the tubes—making it lightweight, reliable, and easy to maintain. Its versatile EQ and organic Drive control mean rich presence and a perfect blend of clean and gritty bass sounds. A balanced XLR DI output lets you connect directly to front-of-house or recording gear, with or without using a cabinet.

Matched ideally with EBS ClassicLine cabs, it is favored by many EBS artists. Proven on stages and part of the Sweden Rock Festival house backline for years, the Classic 500 upholds EBS’s legacy of outstanding bass amplification.
