The software is available to buy separately, but aВ free licence is included as part of the Bias Mini Guitar package.

Softly Does ItДЄs with the Bias Head, you could simply treat the Bias Mini as aВ standвЂ‘alone, 16вЂ‘preset modelling amplifier, but youвЂ™d miss out on the power of Positive GridвЂ™s Bias Amp 2 Pro amplifier design software, which can be run standвЂ‘alone or as aВ VST/AU plugвЂ‘in on Windows and Mac platforms.

The Bias Mini Guitar features both lineвЂ‘ and speakerвЂ‘level outputs, allowing you to hook it up to aВ PA or aВ recording system and drive aВ speaker cabinet simultaneously. Bluetooth is disabled when the USB connection is in use. Lastly, aВ USB TypeвЂ‘B connector allows direct connection of the Bias Mini to aВ desktop computer, and aВ blueвЂ‘illuminated switch initiates Bluetooth pairing with an iPad running the Bias Amp 2 software.

This - and the lack of warning on the device itself - disappointed me, since many mixers and audio interfaces supply only phantom power that is only switchable globally it may be an idea to budget for aВ decent DIВ box or an isolating unit to keep phantom power at bay.

The manual notes that connecting this DIВ output to aВ microphone input with phantom power may cause damage to the Bias Mini, thereby implying that the Bias MiniвЂ™s DIВ output has not been designed to deal with phantom power. The Bias MiniвЂ™s MIDIВ I/O is via aВ pair of miniвЂ‘jacks (suitable DIN to miniвЂ‘jack adaptors are provided), the 4вЂ‘16 О© speaker output is carried by aВ redвЂ‘collared quarterвЂ‘inch TS jack and an XLR with groundвЂ‘lift that delivers the DIВ output. On the rear panel, youвЂ™ll find an IEC mains socket, aВ pair of quarterвЂ‘inch TRS jacks that carry the effectsвЂ‘loop send and return plus aВ single one that allows you to plug in the optional fourвЂ‘button, fourвЂ‘preset select Bias footswitch. But the five remaining knobs (Gain, Bass, Middle, Treble and Master) are instantly familiar. ThereвЂ™s also aВ continuous Output level control, whose function can be switched across the Bias MiniвЂ™s four outputs (Speaker Out, Line Out, FX Send and Headphone output). The detented, eightвЂ‘position preset selector manages access to the unitвЂ™s twin eightвЂ‘slot preset banks (giving the Mini 16 presets in total, compared with the Bias HeadвЂ™s 25).

Its diminutive silver and black, 1U halfвЂ‘rack fascia carries seven silver knobs (the Bias Rack has 14), aВ stereo headphone miniвЂ‘jack and aВ quarterвЂ‘inch TS jack mono instrument input, and the whole ensemble has more the appearance of aВ preamp than aВ full guitar amp - yet thereвЂ™s aВ beefy 300W (into 4О©) ClassвЂ‘D power amp in this box.

The 2.36kg Bias Mini Guitar is well named, as it packs the same emulation engine and USB/wireless connectivity found in the Bias Amp and Bias Head into aВ smaller, yet simpleвЂ‘toвЂ‘operate form factor. ItвЂ™s only aВ year and aВ half since IВ reviewed Positive GridвЂ™s 600W Bias Head modelling guitar amp and Bias Amp Professional ampвЂ‘design software, but the design team certainly havenвЂ™t been resting on their laurels - 2018 has seen the release not only of the Bias Mini Guitar and Bias Amp Pro 2, but also of Bias Amp Bass and Bias Amp 2 Mobile. Ever wanted to tailor your own software amp in aВ plugвЂ‘in, and pack the result into aВ box to take on stage with aВ real speaker?
