Congrats! Do you plan on using the toneprint functions? I always thought it would kind of fun to have those effects built in. But I think someone here mentioned that you can only use one at a time....?

I have been using my BH250 for about a month now, and am just getting used to the way it works. Here's my review. First off, you need the three button foot switch to use the Tone Print (in case you didn't know that already), and yes, you can only use one effect at a time, but I think TC Electrics has compensated for this by offering the 'combo effects' downloads. I'm running my BH250 into an Ampeg PF 115 HE cab, which is 8 ohms, so I'm getting about 160 watts of power out of it, which is more than enough for practice and the small venues I usually play in. The settings are, as usual, personal preference. It has a 'warmer' sound compared to my Ampeg SVT 7 Pro head, or the GK MB 250 I was using before. I am starting to get used to the built in tuner, it's pretty accurate. And here's a foot note : the Tone Print circuitry, because it can have the different apps (?) 'beamed' to it wirelessly, will experience interference if used anywhere near a wireless router for say a PA with a wireless tablet! All in all, I am liking this little amp; very easy to carry around; the Tone Print is pretty good - better than a pedal board once you find your sound!

What I especially like about the Tone Print is the fact that you can change them so easily - so much better than having to collect pedals!

It has 5 built in effects in the tone print, i assume you can access these effects by just turning the knob, no footswitch correct?

Good question. Since there is no indication of which effect is currently in use, I would have to go to the instruction manual (HA!) and see if there is any mention of those 'built-in' effects and how to access them. As far as I have determined, the knob is a 'blend' - how much effect over 'dry' you want present. Let eme look into this....

Here's what I found on the TC Electronics Bass web page :
Effect Types
You can load and swap effect types on your BH-and BG-Series bass amps via USB or the TonePrint App for smartphones. Once you load an effect of your choice to the amp, you can use the white TonePrint knob to adjust the wet/dry balance - more or less effect so to speak.

Go to : BH250 | TC Electronic

So, my experience so far has been, regarding the foot switch & Toneprint, you have all these different toneprints available, organized in five categories; you do need the foot switch, which has two positions for toneprint apps so you can switch between those selected effects or none (third switch is a mute). This seems to be confirmed by TC Electronics

Do you know if the preamp's circuity before the TonePrint is analogical or digital?

You don't need the foot switch to use the toneprint function. You can use only one effect at a time regardless if you have it or not. It has no built in chorus, that's probably what was being used when you bought it. The EQ does not operate as a normal EQ. Go to YouTube and search this model out,there are hundreds of videos explaining every detail of the amp.
