In this video I review the Acoustic Image Clarus SL amplifier. It's a single channel amp that's been designed specifically for double bassists. I've used an older model (series III) for the last 10 years. This new version is smaller, lighter and more powerful. All the features have been designed with the double bass in mind, from the impedance to the high pass filter. Even the EQ points have been set to help you get the most from your instrument. I love mine, so I thought I would do a review to share my experience.
I hope you enjoy the video. To join the conversation please post below in the comments section.
