Eden Electronics

Eden's reputation was founded on the fact that everything was designed and built "in-house", including the speakers (a very rare feat by any manufacturer).

Users of Eden equipment span a wide variety of musical style from jazz and country to heavy rock.

Originally, Eden designed and manufactured sound-reinforcement (public address) systems, in particular speaker cabinets and then drivers, whose popularity grew amongst sound engineers and with musicians.

After a short initial period building such specialist equipment, the company realized the popularity that their cabinet products were gaining with bass players.

Eden and its amplifier design also developed in parallel to its expanding cabinet business and moved from sound reenforcement to specialize in the bass sector of the music market.

Maintaining a position that good bass amplification should deliver clear and un-coloured tone with a lot of headroom, the Eden World Tour product line eventually emerged.

Following this move, Eden became much more widely available around the world, primarily due to its improved distributor network.

By 2000, Eden had become known as a high-quality, hi-fidelity, high power, high-price manufacturer of professional grade equipment.

There were three completely solid-state WT amps (WT330, WT390, and WT405) that used a "Golden Ear" chip to get the warmth found in the hybrid World Tours.

2007 heralded the introduction of the Nemesis RS series combos, which offered Edge control to add tube-style grit (noticeable at high gain/high volumes), pre-/post-EQ selector for the DI output, footswitch for enhance bypass and mute functions, and changed the cabinets back to void-free plywood construction from the cellulose composite material.

This Nemesis RS series was specifically designed "with rock bassist firmly in mind...to address the needs of players who want an aggressive, mix-cutting sound."

Besides the targeted market of those just getting into bass playing, they quickly became favorites of instructors who needed to plug two basses into one amp that did not shake the store down, and also earned a spot as a "leave at home" practice amp with simplified tone controls for semi-pro and professionals alike.

Under ownership of USM after the founder had departed, the decision was made to pull the Nemesis EN amplifiers into the newer Black-Faced WTB series.
