The BD1 is exactly the same as the RD1 Rob Chapman Signature Head, but in standard black finish. One channel, no mess Ultra compact and single channel, the BD1 is a superb rock machine designed for real sound at all valves wherever you go. Despite the tiny package, the EL84 dual fixed-bias power section delivers up to 28 watts in full power mode and just 2 watts in low power. And it's just 263mm wide - smaller than a sheet of A4 paper and super easy to fly.

The BD1's overall gain range goes from almost clean (don't expect much clean headroom!) to full-on rock distortion. Gain and master balancing gets you to your ideal gain sweet spot, while everything responds to your pickups and your guitar's volume pot like a dynamic tube amp should. Countour, Bright and Deep An interactive set of EQ controls with incredible versatility. Contour boosts bass and cuts midrange when turned clockwise (and vice versa), taking you from mid-range metallic tones to classic rock-approved vocal mids. The Deep switch increases the power amp's low-frequency response; Bright, yes, makes it brighter! High and Low Power Modes The fixed bias power section provides up to 28 watts in high power mode and just 2 watts in low power mode. From stage to bedroom without problem. Effects Loop with Mixing The BD1 Series effects loop features a dedicated mix control so you can hear as many or as few loop effects as you want. A little or a lot - your choice.
