Warwick Amps MC 500 - Multiconnect Bass Amp Head 500 Watt

The Warwick MC 500 Multiconnect is a compact, 500-watt solid-state bass head that gives you modern connectivity and serious power in a gig-ready package. With Bluetooth and USB on board, a flexible DI, bi-amp line out and a musical 4-band EQ, it is built to handle everything from silent practice and studio sessions to full live rigs with ease.

Designed around efficient Class D power, the MC 500 delivers up to 500 watts at 4 ohms while keeping weight and size to a minimum. A clear front panel layout, built-in tuner, headphone output and FX loop make it a practical workhorse for bassists who need reliable tone and flexible routing without the fuss.

Powerful, Portable Bass Head

The MC 500 packs 500 watts at 4 ohms (300 watts at 8 ohms) into a low-profile chassis that is easy to carry and simple to set up. The solid-state, Class D design delivers fast, punchy response with plenty of headroom, so your sound stays tight and controlled even at higher volumes. Whether you are driving a single cab at rehearsal or a full stack on stage, the amp has the muscle to keep your low end solid and defined.

Modern Multiconnect Connectivity

With Bluetooth and USB-B connectivity, the MC 500 is ready for modern workflows. Bluetooth lets you stream backing tracks or reference mixes straight into the amp, ideal for practice or learning songs. The USB connection opens up integration with compatible devices, making it easier to incorporate the head into a digital setup. Combined with aux in, headphone out and a flexible DI, you can move seamlessly between home, studio and stage.

Musical 4-Band EQ and Simple Controls

A single-channel layout with intuitive front panel controls keeps tone shaping quick and straightforward. The 4-band EQ offers bass, low mid, high mid and treble with a generous ±15 dB of cut or boost per band, so you can dial in anything from deep, rounded warmth to bright, cutting clarity. Stacked controls for bass/low mid and high mid/treble save space without sacrificing precision, while the gain and master volume let you balance input level and overall loudness with ease.

Stage-Ready I/O and Utility Features

The MC 500 is equipped with the connections and tools you need for professional use. A balanced XLR DI with pre/post EQ and ground lift gives sound engineers exactly what they need, while the line-out with fullrange/bi-amp switch offers flexible routing to additional power amps or cabs. The FX loop with separate send/return level controls, built-in tuner with dedicated switch and indication, mute switch, aux in and headphone output make this head a versatile hub for any bass rig.
