The TC Electronic BAM200 is a pocket-sized bass amplifier head delivering 200W of Class-D power in a rugged steel chassis. Weighing less than 1kg and no larger than two standard pedals, it fits easily into a gig bag or backpack, yet delivers more than enough punch for rehearsals, studio work, and small-to-medium gigs. Designed for modern bassists seeking a highly portable solution, the TC Electronic BAM200 delivers powerful performance in a format that can be transported effortlessly – and all without breaking the bank.
The preamp stage of the TC Electronic BAM200 features a specially designed high-voltage MOSFET circuit that emulates the warmth, responsiveness, and harmonic richness of a tube amp. Its intuitive 3-band EQ allows quick tonal adjustment across a wide range of playing styles and basses. A balanced DI output is included for direct connection to a PA system, mixer, or audio interface – ideal for live gigs, studio sessions, or patching the signal to an in-ear monitoring setup.
The TC Electronic BAM200 also doubles as a silent practice tool, thanks to its integrated headphone amplifier with speaker emulation –providing realistic amp tone with no need to connect a cabinet. Whether at home or on the road, players can practise quietly while still retaining the feel of a miked tube amp. On the road, the advanced protection circuitry shields against short circuits, thermal overload, and low-impedance loads, while the shock-resistant casing ensures long-term durability.
The Danish company TC Electronic has been known for its innovative products for many years. It was founded in 1976 by brothers Kim and John Rishøj in Aarhus. The company first made a name for itself with the SCF, a stereo chorus/flanger pedal for guitar. Studio equipment followed during the 80s and 90s, notably the legendary TC2290 digital delay in 19-inch rack format. Since the 2000s, TC Electronic has greatly enriched the guitar and bass scene with amplifiers, cabinets, combos, and effects pedals. Here too, TC's innovative spirit is in evidence, for example with its TonePrint technology and the first polyphonic guitar tuner. TC Electronic has been part of Music Tribe since 2015.
Ideal as a main amp, backup head, or portable DI solution, the TC Electronic BAM200 delivers in a wide range of applications without compromising tone or output. From couch rehearsals to live shows, it provides a no-fuss interface, robust feature set, and impressive low-end definition. Whether used on stage, in the studio, or in a hotel room between gigs, the BAM200 offers micro-format convenience with the tone and punch of a much larger head – at a price accessible to players of all levels.
