Trickfish Amplification Bullhead 1.5K

Trickfish Amplification Bullhead 1.5K

The Bullhead 1.5K started with the front end of the 3K — the preamp, the EQ, and the filters — and simplified the concept. A single input feeds the preamp, a single power module drives the output, and two parallel speaker jacks put it to your cabinets. No dual-channel routing, no secondary inputs. Just a high-powered head designed to do one thing well.

The Mike Pope-designed Bullhead preamp is the same across every Bullhead head. Warm, transparent, and precise, it gives you an accurate picture of your instrument with as much or as little shaping as you want. The 4-band EQ covers Bass, Low Mid, High Mid, and Treble — shelving controls on the lows and highs, bandpass on each midrange — all with selectable frequencies and ±12dB of range.

The 1.5K’s front panel includes the same variable High Pass and Low Pass filter section found on the 3K. Both are independently switchable, and both provide a steep 24dB per octave cut when engaged. The High Pass sweeps from 38Hz to 310Hz — useful for controlling how much low-end energy reaches your cabinets. The Low Pass sweeps from 330Hz to 15kHz, letting you soften the top end of the signal as needed. Between the two filters, you can dial in the exact frequency window of the amp without disturbing the tone inside it.

Features:

• Input: This jack can be used to connect an instrument via a standard 1/4″ mono cable
• Input Attenuator: A switchable input attenuator offers 0dB or -10dB settings, accommodating both high-output active and lower-output passive instruments
• High Pass Filter: Eliminate unwanted bass frequencies using a steep 24dB/octave filter, adjustable from 38Hz to 3kHz
• Low Pass Filter: Soften piercing highs with a customizable 24dB/octave filter, tunable from 330Hz to 15kHz
• Bass Cut/Boost with Frequency Select: Shape your low-end with a ±12dB shelving control, featuring a selectable starting point of either 40Hz or 80Hz
• Low Mid Cut/Boost with Frequency Select: Fine-tune your low-midrange with a ±12dB bell-shaped EQ, centered at either 330Hz or 473Hz
• Hi Mid Cut/Boost with Frequency Select: Adjust your high-midrange using a ±12dB bell-shaped EQ, centered at either 1kHz or 1.8kHz
• Treble Cut/Boost with Frequency Select button: Tailor the high frequencies using a ±12dB treble shelf EQ, with starting points at either 4kHz or 8kHz
• Master Volume: Controls the overall volume of main amplifier output
• Amplifier Mute: Mutes the signal to the amplifier
• Power Output (Pascal L-Pro2S power amp): 4 Ohms; 2500W Peak 1700W RMS @ 1% THD, 8 Ohms; 1500W Peak 1060W RMS @ 1% THD
• AC Mains Input Connector: Attach supplied IEC power cable firmly into socket. Universal mains for 100V-240V operation
• Speaker Output Main: Connect a speaker cable here for use of the main (amplifier 1) output. This Speakon combo jack allows for either Speakon or ¼” speaker cable operation
• Aux Input: The Line In jack accepts a signal from a laptop, phone, MP3 player, or other input source. Connect headphones for silent practicing with the volume controlled by the master volume on the front of the amp
• EFX Loop: SEND jack routes the signal TO the destination device. The RETURN jack returns the signal FROM the destination device. The series/parallel switch changes the EFX Loop from parallel operation to serial operation. The EFX loop also has a dedicated ground lift to eliminate unwanted hum
• Tuner Output: This jack can be used to connect an tuner via a standard 1/4″ mono cable
• Main Direct Out: Connect a balanced XLR cable to send the direct signal to a mixer, interface, or other input source. This DI also features a dedicated pre/post EQ selector and ground lift selector
• Size & Weight: (H x W x D in.) 3.25 × 15 × 8.6, 7.2 lbs, 2 rack spaces
