What we think:

This model has been discontinued with the release of the new S4 amps. Take advantage of this discount on an amazing acoustic image amp while it lasts! If you are looking for a lightweight and portable guitar head, look no further. The Clarus 1 works great for bass, electric guitar, archtops, acoustic guitar, and even vocals. The combo jack allow you to plug a mic in, even a condenser that needs phantom power! The EQ and notch filter really allow you to shape your tone. The Clarus technology provides very transparent tone with tons of power and headroom. It really lets your instrument do all of the work. Combine it with your favorite speaker cab and you are ready to go.

Description:


The Clarus amps were designed to accurately reproduce the sound of all acoustic and electric instruments without compromise or the size and weight that has traditionally be associated with high quality amplification.

Unlike other solid state amps, the Clarus has a distinct, warm sound, more like a tube amp. In addition, the Clarus is not "voiced" like many electronic instrument amps. So its frequency response is flat. This means that, with a high quality speaker system (like the Contra EX), what you hear is your sound of your instrument. The tonal shaping characteristics of the three-band EQ are sufficient to overcome room acoustics or to shape your sound without adding noise to the signal.

At the heart of the Clarus is a powerful Class D switch mode amplifier that runs cool yet delivers up to 500 Watts of clean, full spectrum power into speaker loads as low as 2 ohms. Other features include a parallel effects loop with a return level control, a selectable notch or low cut filter for feedback or "boominess" elimination and a balanced direct out with ground lift and pre/post EQ selection to allow connection to a mixing board for PA augmentation or recording. A switch for dual voltage operation (115/230V, 50/60 Hz), a detachable power cord and a padded gig bag with shoulder strap make the unit convenient for the travelling musician.

Clarus amps are for the working player looking for exceptionally clean, natural sound, with wide frequency response and low noise. Carried in one hand, or in the supplied gig bag, they provide an exceptional combination of pure sound reproduction and portability.
