EBS Fafner II - Extreme Edition Dual Channel, Tube Armed 750 W RMS Bass Head

 

The new incredible EBS Fafner II bass amp is now shipping! This new 2-channel ’flagship’ from EBS is packed with great and useful features that makes this amp stand out from the rest. The Fafner II is second to none!

 

 

Two channels

EBS Fafner II use a two channel preamp that can be run in series or parallel mode. Since you can switch between the channels or blend them together it open up a lot of possibilities to shape your sound. Check out this Quick Channel Reference for nine (!) different channel settings possible with this amp: EBS Fafner II Quick Channel Reference (PDF, click for download)

 

Protected Power Amp

The protected power amp delivers 750 W RMS raw power at 2 ohms, and more than 600 W RMS at 4 ohms!


Two separate XLR-outputs

A very rare feature on the Fafner II amp is the two separate balanced XLR-outputs – one pre and one post EQ. This creates the opportunity to blend a clean signal with a processed straight from the amp, or to use a clean signal to front of house and your own sound in the monitors on stage. Not to speak about the extended options it will give in a recording situation!


Individual effect loops

Individual effect loops for each channel, and a common loop provide maximum flexibility when hooking up your effects. For example, you can connect a noise gate to the drive channel, without affecting the clean channel, while you can use a chorus on the clean channel, without affect the drive channel.

 

Footswitch control

Use a remote footswitch control (EBS RM-4) to switch between the channels, bypass filters, kick in the character filters or mute the rig while tuning.


Entirely made in Sweden

EBS Fafner II is designed, developed and built in Sweden.

”There’s a distinct quality you get when playing through this rig, almost as if you’re listening to your bass through powerful studio monitors after an experienced engineer has added just the right EQ.” - Fafner II & NeoLine 410
