Bass Amplifier

Complete combo amplifier design

The Bass Amplifier project aims to define a complete combo amplifier architecture from preamp through power stage, controls, cabinet integration, and validation. It is currently best suited for contributors who want to help shape the specification before detailed design work begins.
