Eden WT1205 World Tour Bass Amplifier Head

Eden WT1205 World Tour Bass Amplifier Head Review



Eden WT1205 World Tour Bass Amplifier Head Feature

  • Dynamic Bass and Treble boosters
  • Variable compression
  • Footswitch
  • Dual effects loops (pre and post)
Over a decade ago, we set the standard in bass amps with our WT800. Now we’re raising it significantly higher with our newest and most sophisticated integrated amp ever – the WT1205.

Dual 7025 preamp tubes drive two separate channels that can be used individually or blended for dual channel instruments (the Stick, e.g.). Each channel features Dynamic Bass and Treble boosters, a unique EQ center (4-band on Ch. 1, 3-band w/ sweepable mid on Ch.2), dual effects loops (pre and post) and variable compression. Using automix technology, the studio-quality DI (selectable pre- or post-EQ) always sends the active channel(s) to the console.

Dial in your sounds and then pump up to 2400 watts peak power (1200 watts RMS), enough to drive a variety of compatible multiple-speaker arrays. Execute changes on the fly with the included footswitch, including: Mute, channel switching, Master Gain Booster (the solo button) and Enhance bypass.

The WT1205 now offers the discriminating bassist more power, more versatility, more musicality than ever before. It also features our new back-lit logo. One test drive and you’ll be spoiled for life. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

At Eden, we're dedicated to building you the best sounding and most reliable bass guitar amplifiers in the world. And when we say World Tour, we mean it. Eden's World Tour amplifiers are designed, engineered and manufactured to stand up to the rigors of constant touring and sound great every night.

All World Tour amplifiers are heavily overbuilt using military-style modular construction throughout, resulting in very high reliability and easy field service if ever required. From the one-piece .090 solid anodized aluminum chassis to the 18-guage steel cover, these units are built to take it and then some. The electronic components are the finest available and are carefully over-designed with generous safety margins to give you great reliability and survivability. (See the picture of the unit that survived a studio fire and still worked!)

The best feature, however, is that warm, solid Eden tone that comes with every unit. Eden amps are designed to let the sound of your fingers and bass come through, just as you intended, but with a touch of warmth to slightly enhance your sound. No matter the style you play - from Metal to Jazz and everything in between - these amps are simple to use and easy to work with so that you can concentrate on the music, not knobs.

If you want to hear what you sound like, just pick out the amplifier with the features and power you need, then pair it with your choice of Eden cabinets. We've done all the technical stuff so you can just worry about how great you sound on an Eden rig. Sounding great has never been so easy.

The WT1205 World Tour Bass Head features dual 7025 preamp tubes to drive 2 separate channels that can be used individually or blended for dual channel instruments such as The Stick. Each channel features Dynamic Bass and Treble boosters, a unique EQ center (4-band on Channel 1, 3-band with sweepable mid on Channel 2), pre- and post-effects loops, and variable compression.

Behringer EUROPOWER EP4000 Professional 4,000-Watt Stereo Power Amplifier with Atr (Accelerated Transient Response) Technology

Behringer EUROPOWER EP4000 Professional 4,000-Watt Stereo Power Amplifier with Atr (Accelerated Transient Response) Technology Review



Behringer EUROPOWER EP4000 Professional 4,000-Watt Stereo Power Amplifier with Atr (Accelerated Transient Response) Technology Feature

  • 2 x 2,000 Watts into 2 Ohms; 2 x 1,400 Watts into 4 Ohms; 4,000 Watts into 4 Ohms (bridge mode)
  • Precise Power, Signal and Clip LEDs to monitor performance
  • XLR and 1/4" TRS input connectors for compatibility with any source
  • Professional speaker connectors and "touch-proof" binding posts support most speaker wiring systems
  • Selectable low-frequency filters (30 Hz or 50 Hz) remove distracting infra-sound frequencies
The EP2000 and EP4000 represent everything musicians love about Behringer's popular EP1500/EP2500--excellent sound quality, road-worthy toughness and reliability, low-noise operation and incredible power. With 2,000 and 4,000-Watts respectively, the EP2000 and EP4000 amplifiers are perfect for medium-sized club gigs, mobile PA systems, church services or public spaces.

Excellent sound quality, road-worthy toughness and reliability, low-noise operation and incredible power. Click to enlarge.

Professional speaker connectors and "touch-proof" binding posts support most speaker wiring systems.

XLR and 1/4" TRS input connectors for compatibility with any source.

Everything You Need, Nothing You Don't
The über-simple front panel controls of these amps give you all of your sound's vital signs at a glance. After flipping the MAIN switch, the POWER LED will light when the amp is ready for action. Both channels have independent gain dials as well as clip LEDs that indicate when the signal is distorted and you need to reduce the gain. There are also SIGNAL LEDs that light up when a signal is present at the input.

Panel Discussion
A panel of switches found on the back panel offers an array of cool options to apply to both channels of the EP2000 and EP4000. The Clip Limiter lets you get even more out of the amplifier without overdriving either it or your speaker system. Built-in circuitry automatically senses when the EP2000 or EP4000 is being overdriven into "clipping" and then momentarily reduces the input level to avoid clipping distortion. This all happens in a few thousandths of a second, so it's an inaudible way of avoiding audible clipping distortion. Of course, you can turn the Limiter off if you're feeling lucky.

Ultra-low frequency sounds (infrasonics) are caused by rickety stage vibrations, mic thumps and wind noise. While technically inaudible, they can cause a huge drain on amp power, potential damage to your speakers and a sludgy sound in the audible bass ranges. Both EP models feature a defeatable Low Cut Filter that chops off unwanted frequencies below 50Hz or 30Hz (depending on your PA system's capabilities).

The same panel contains the switches that allow you to put these amps to work in either stereo or bridge (mono) mode. Both the EP2000 and EP4000 can be linked to additional power amps by switching into parallel mode.

These Amps Have Guts
There's plenty of awesome features on the outside of the EP2000 and EP4000, but there's also a team of cool components on the inside helping it work its magic. They come loaded with famously reliable Toshiba/Fairchild power transistors as well as a high-current toroidal transformer for ultra-high transient response and further reliability. Independent DC and thermal overload protection on each channel automatically protects the amplifier and speakers from any show-stopping meltdowns. There's no need for fuses, giving you one fewer potential mid-gig headache.

The EP2000 and EP4000 have both XLR and 1/4" TRS inputs. Even the outputs are totally flexible, consisting of Speakon-compatible outputs and five-way binding posts. Whether you're dealing with bare wire or boutique audiophile cabling, the EP2000 and EP4000 are right at home.

The exhaust fan, visible on the back panel, is the final stage of an internal front-to-back cooling system that keeps these amps working in the mild temperatures they love, even through periods of extended use. Finally, an impact-resistant, all-steel 2U rackmount chassis helps these workhorses stand up to all the rigors of the road.

Accelerated Transient Response Delivers the Knock-Out Punch
It takes huge pulses of energy (current and voltage) to propel a woofer cone out fast enough to match a bass beat. That's called Transient Response and it's the holy grail of amp designers. By carefully selecting transistors with extremely highslew rates and optimizing other proprietary parts of our circuitry, our amps are able to react instantly to even the most demanding electronic bass impulses. If the woofers in your PA system can keep up, your audience will hear a tighter, crisper, more natural sound.

The Legend Powers On
If you read the reviews of the EP2000 and EP4000's older brothers, the EP1500 and EP2500, and it's clear that those amps are renowned not only for their performance and durability, but also their astoundingly low price tags. The EP2000 and EP4000 extend that legacy to the next level.
