Bergantino Forte

An incredibly flexible and lightweight bass amplifier, The Bergantino Audio Systems Forté delivers maximum performance in a compact, yet easy to use package. Using exactly the same analog preamp and powerful 800w RMS power amp section employed in our ground-breaking B|Amp, Forté provides maximum tone, headroom and immediate command of your bass instrument’s signal, but is offered in a traditional amplifier package for those players who want simple options and control.

The amplifier includes 4-band EQ, a bright switch, variable input gain adjustment, effects send/return, tuner out, dual Speakon sockets, a studio quality DI, auxiliary input and headphone jack for silent practice. The Forté also has our unique on-board Variable Ratio Compressor (VRC), adjustable from a single knob right on the front panel.

Power On Tap
Many brands often rate their amps without real world verifiable figures. Forté features a custom tuned, yet powerful amplifier module and will provide up to genuine 800W RMS power depending on the speaker load. At 8Ω (for example a single small cab) B|Amp will provide 350W RMS, @ 4Ω this is increased to 700W RMS, while at a 2 or 2.67 Ω load the power output goes to 800W RMS.

Speaker impedance of the connected cabinets can also be matched from the front panel, this allows for optimal power transfer and allows Forté to function safely right down to a 2-Ohm minimum load – that’s low for an amp this size!

This amp is in great working condition with some signs of use and marks throughout. Included is a Bergantino carry bag.
