TC Electronic Heads BQ500 Editorial Review

The TC Electronics BQ500 is a powerful amp, rated for 500 watts output at 4 ohms minimum. It can drive 4 10-inch speakers, hooked up with 2 - 8 ohm speakers in series and the others in series. It also has an iPhone input and a headphone out. Users have reported that the amp sounds great, has a "super-neutral tone," and is incredibly quiet. However, the 500-watt power rating by TC Electronics is questionable, and it's recommended that users have a speaker that can handle 600 watts RMS at 4 ohms so they can use the bass knob to its fullest extent. The high-mid and high knobs produce "poppy slap" high-end sounds, and the low-mid knob adds growl and presence. The bass knob adds low end and needs to be used carefully. The amp is simple and effective, and it's perfect for small gigs and to carry to a friend's house with an appropriate lightweight speaker cabinet. It's an excellent value for the price and provides plenty of power except, perhaps, for the largest gigs.
