Henriksen Amplifiers is all about tone first, the incredibly portable size and feature set of The Bud were developed around the sound, not the other way around and you can definitely hear the difference. Our pre-amp, from input to output, is designed using the highest grade audio components. We offer a 5-band EQ with carefully chosen center frequencies which were fine-tuned by ear to meet the demands of different playing environments using the widest possible array of musical instruments. This amp is available for SoundPure's Try-Before-You-buy Program, so if you want to hear how it sounds in your hands, shoot us an email to Acoustics@SoundPure.com or call us anytime at 919.682.5552. Thanks for watching!
