OVERVIEW OF THE COMPACT PLUS
Experience uncompromised and powerful performance with our latest model, which is based on the
legendary PJB Suitcase amplifier. Our engineers have taken the iconic design and elevated it to new heights
with a smaller physical size, greater acoustic output, less weight, and improved frequency response. Don't
be fooled by its compact size; this amp packs a punch that cuts through the air like a hot knife through
butter. With solid and powerful low-end response typically associated with much larger combos, it delivers
an incredible sound that will leave you wanting more. Plus, it shares the same size as our popular Compact
4 enclosure, making it an ideal choice for any musician looking for a portable and versatile solution.
The PJB Suitcase Compact bass combo features a single channel preamp with a more extensive 5-band EQ.
Finding "your sound" is simple with this EQ, as it offers incredible control and transparency, allowing you to
hear the true character of your own playing and instrument.
At the heart of this amp is a formidable ultra-high-energy power supply that feeds an efficient class D
power amplifier, utilizing nearly 95% of the energy to drive the four internal PJB Piranha speakers. The
Compact Plus outputs a healthy 250 watts RMS onto its own speakers, and when paired with a Compact 4
cabinet, it becomes 450 watts.
