• Star ground system to reduce induced current chassis noise.
• Type F (Fender) and Type M (Marshall) inputs with separate preamps and Gain controls for the unique smooth Fender 5F6 warm tones or the Marshall Plexi  great high mid tones....or you can use an AB-Y switch and create your own distinct tones.
• Classic 60's JTM45 - Bassman 5F6 style 3-BAND TONE STACK for extended flexibility in shaping your tone.

I received my Mini Bassman last week and I am thrilled with it! It sounds wonderful with guitar and Rhodes through 2 JBL D120Fs. Such a natural transition from clean to overdrive, rich, shimmery sparkly tone with great clarity, just what I've been dreaming of. It sounds so pure with bass through a 15" cab. Even with 6v6s in it I get a stout sound. It's everything I hoped it would be and I can't wait to hear it in the mix on stage! Thanks, you guys did great work with this one. Kenny H. (California)

This is a fantastic little amp, really special and incredibly versatile, just wanted to let you know. I think I'm going to build a bracket for it to mount to the fliptop, by the way. Thanks so much! Best,Kevin B. (New Jersey)

Hi, "Just a little plug for Jim and the fine folks at Frenzel. My experience with them and the Frenzel Mini Bassman has been great. Out of the box it was a little too hot for pedal steel, but all I had to do was some tube swapping (a 12AT7 in V1, and a Weber Copper Top solid state rectifier) to make a great clean tube machine for pedal steel. It's got a lot of tone-tweaking features, 2 channels with different voicings, and with the way the tone stack works I can even shift the curve to put the mid scoop where it needs to be. I could not justify one of the high-end boutique amps, but this will keep me smiling for a long time!" (Built the head cabinet myself, don't blame that on the Frenzel folks!) Tommy B. (Virginia)

You guys did good!! - The Mini-bassman arrived yesterday in excellent condition while I was at worship practice. I built the cab for it over a month ago and was able to install the amp today and it sounds great! This is my fourth Frenzel and never a disappointment with any of them. Many thanks, John W.(Indiana)
