Positive Grid BIAS Mini Guitar 300W Head
Positive Grid · amplifier
The Positive Grid BIAS Mini Guitar is a 300-watt compact modelling head built on the same BIAS amp-matching platform as the full-size BIAS Head, in a substantially smaller chassis. It analyses and reproduces the response of a target amplifier rather than offering fixed presets alone, and its Class D output section drives conventional guitar cabinets, so it works as a compact modelling head rather than a practice amp. At 300 watts it has ample power for stage use despite the size. It suits players who want matched amp models and real cabinet output in a package that fits in a gig bag.
