Warwick Amplification - Two channels, one goal: uncompromising sound

Warwick has always been known for innovative solutions and high-quality components in the field of professional bass amplification. With the DS 800, the company goes one step further: two separate channels with their own EQ and gain make it possible to manage completely different sounds in parallel - be it for different basses, playing techniques or musical styles. In addition, an integrated compressor, an ultra-sensitive tuning function and a flexible cabinet simulation provide a variety of sounds that can otherwise only be realized in complex rack systems.

Flexibility meets power

With 800 watts into 4 ohms or 480 watts into 8 ohms, the Warwick DS 800's Class D power amplifier delivers plenty of power for any stage. Despite this power, the device remains surprisingly compact and weighs just 3.63 kg. The robust construction and practical features make the amplifier a reliable companion - whether in the club, in the studio or on tour.

Technical details of the Warwick DS 800 Double Stage Bass Amp Head

The two-channel design allows the two signal paths to be completely independent. Each channel has its own controls for gain, bass, lo mid, hi mid, treble and volume. In addition, there are separate FREQ selector switches for the mid ranges (Lo Mid and Hi Mid), which can be used to select the exact mid frequency. A channel selector switch on the front can be used to conveniently switch between the two channels, with an LED channel indicator providing visual feedback.

The integrated compressor can be activated across all channels and fine-tuned using the "Amount" and "Level" controls. Other useful features on the front panel include the LED CLIP indicator, a MUTE function, a headphone output (3.5 mm stereo), a TUNER function with separate switch and display as well as Bluetooth connectivity for wireless practicing or audio streaming. Two input sockets (6.35 mm) enable the simultaneous connection of two instruments.

Fully equipped rear panel for studio and stage

The DS 800 also offers all the necessary connections on the rear panel: A balanced XLR DI OUT with ground lift and pre/post EQ switch ensures professional signal transfer, while the full range/bi-amp line out offers additional options for complex setups. The effects loop (SEND/RETURN) is equipped with its own level control. The AUX-IN (3.5 mm) enables the connection of external audio sources, e.g. for playing along. The amplifier can be connected directly to a computer via the USB-B port - perfect for digital recording or modern software integration.

Other highlights include the Cab Emulator selector switch (with three modes + OFF), two Speaker Twist speaker sockets, a footswitch socket for external channel and compressor switching and the power switch on the rear panel. The voltage selector switch (120/240 VAC) and the IEC mains cable connection make the device suitable for worldwide use - provided the mains voltage complies with the specifications.
