Used Bergantino Forte D Bass Amplifier Head
For any bass player looking for a small but powerful amp to take on the go, this Bergantino Forte D Bass Amplifier Head is a great find. It's a lightweight, 800-watt Class-D bass amp featuring Jim Bergantino's Big Fat Tube (BFT) technology and Parallel Dynamic Circuitry. You don't see many of these out there.
Building on the legacy of the original, award-winning Forté D bass amplifier, Jim Bergantino takes tone to the next level with the Ultra D circuit. It delivers everything bass players love about tube amps—rich harmonics, dynamic touch sensitivity, and that unmistakable warmth—all in a compact, lightweight, and user-friendly design. Whether you’re after sparkling cleans, smooth tube saturation, or full-blown mix-dominating distortion, it’s all right at your fingertips.
And for those who prefer a pristine signal path? Just switch off the Ultra D circuit and enjoy pure, uncolored tone. “Plug-and-play has never sounded this good.”
Many brands sadly often rate their amps without real-world, verifiable figures. Forté D 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) Forté D 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 permits for optimal power transfer and allows the Forté D to function safely right down to a 2-ohm minimum load.
We just took this one, which is is excellent condition. We don't see it lasting long here.
