zZounds Gear Experts Say...
5 band EQ section. Fan cooled.
Overview
The MAG C410T-300 4 x 10 in. + tweeter combo features a potent new fan-cooled 307 watts RMS power section. Rotary bass, middle and treble controls are supplemented by smaller rotary controls providing 15dB of cut and boost at 220Hz and 1.6kHz, providing a comprehensive 5 band EQ section. Additionally, front panel push switches for Bright and Deep settings provide instant access to attacking and warm, rounded sounds respectively and, on the subject of low-end response, the trademark Ashdown sub-harmonic generator is ready and able to deliver truck loads of earth moving tone if called upon.
Inputs are provided for active and passive instruments and the front panel also features an effects send and return, a tuner/line output and a balanced DI output for direct connection to a mixing console.
All MAG combos have extension speaker outputs and are loaded with Ashdown BlueLine speakers for exceptional attack, clarity and low-end performance. Protection is provided by tough black carpet covering and new steel grilles, while the amplifier chassis is constructed from light yet strong, heat-dissipating magnesium alloy for 'roadie-free' portability. And, of course, the famous Ashdown VU meter remains central to the cool look of these great, value for money bass amplifiers.

"Great amp! Great price!"

Don't see myself upgrading unless I go completely tube and in a different price range.
Sound
This amp combo has a wide range of sounds. Sounds much better than the Hartke 410 with GK RB400 combo I used to own. Tubey sounding especially when using the low subharmonics feature which is dialable. The range of sounds fits well with my playing. I play anything from contemporary rock, classic rock, and funk. Good low tight or deep low E. My open low B is another story and I don't know if this is a property of the bass or the amp. Good slap tones that are biting but warm. I play a 5 string and a Kawai graphite neck Koa body bass. Both have actives so I do not know the true sound of the amp with passives.
Features
Haven't tested all the features yet so I have to give an incomplete grade. There is no headphone out. I don't know if a footswitch is available to enable or diasable any of the amp features. The manual is unclear on this as. Nice retro looking VU meter in front for gauging input levels. I tend to use my ear when it comes to this. Line out to hook up tuner is a nice feature if you do not own a stomp box with a built in tuner. The plastic frequency pots are non-clicking and on the loose side and will trun during normal transportation. Perhaps clicking pots will fare better. The sound shaping features are more than adequate and not overly fine as in the Hartke graphic eq style layout
Quality… read more
To make it road worthy, I installed casters on the bottom for rollability. The quality control seems great especially for something made in China. No need for a backup. The plastic knobs for the eq are plastic but it does the job.
Value
Can't ask for better and more powerful combo at $600.
Manufacturer Support
No experience with product support although the manual is something to be desired.
The Wow Factor
Great distinctive retro look. Lit VU meter and blue speakers with metallic looking grill cloth is quite attractive.
