Seymour Duncan PowerStage 700 Bass Amplifier - 700W Compact Head | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
Introduction
The Seymour Duncan PowerStage 700 Bass amplifier delivers professional-grade power and versatility in an incredibly compact chassis. This 700-watt powerhouse offers pristine clarity, rich harmonics, and adjustable gain that suits everything from vintage warmth to modern aggression. Designed for intermediate to professional bassists seeking studio-quality tone without the back-breaking weight of traditional bass heads.
Product Overview
The PowerStage 700 Bass features a rugged, tour-ready chassis housing 700 watts of clean power at 4 ohms, perfect for driving any bass cabinet with headroom to spare. Its preamp section was meticulously designed by legendary Seymour Duncan engineer Kevin Beller, a lifelong bassist who understands what players need on stage and in the studio.
The versatile EQ section includes bass, low mid, high mid, treble, and presence controls for precise tone shaping that adapts to any musical style or venue acoustics. The built-in footswitchable overdrive circuit ranges from subtle vintage warmth to aggressive distortion, giving players access to a spectrum of tonal options without additional pedals.
Multiple connectivity options set this amp apart, including ¼" and Speakon speaker outputs, XLR direct out with ground lift for going straight to the PA, a headphone output for silent practice, and an effects loop for seamless integration with your existing pedalboard or modelers. The convenient -10dB pad allows for instant switching between active and passive instruments without level issues.

- Church and venue players requiring versatile tone shaping and reliable direct-to-PA capabilities
