IMPORTANT NOTICE!
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING POINTS MAY RE-
SULT IN DAMAGE TO THE AMPLIFIER OR LOUDSPEAKERS.
DAMAGE CAUSED IN SUCH A WAY ARE NOT COVERED BY
WARRANTY.
Observe the correct impedance for your

Introduction
Thank you for choosing the BUGERA BTX36000 bass amplifi er
head. “THE NUKE” delivers massive 2 x 1,800 Watts in stereo
mode or 3,800 Watts in mono-bridged mode. We have fi tted the
BTX36000 out with an active 9-band graphic EQ to make sure
that so much power can be tailored exactly to the frequency range
you want to apply to it. An integrated compressor increases the
sustain and smoothes out volume peaks while the Bright function
enhances the sound. A switchable Limiter provides distortion-
free sound at all levels. In addition, the BTX36000 features
comprehensive connectivity including balanced DI outputs for
direct connection to a mixing console plus a Tuner output on the
front and rear panel. The independent DC and thermal overload
protection on each channel keeps the system safe and sound.
