Feature:
Nicely appointed panel, good features, the ultrabass feature is a joke, no real bass player would be caught using it. Whoever decided to put a fuzzy carpetlike finish on this thing should be burned at the stake on the town square at high noon

Quality:
Had it for 4 years and it's now cutting out 50% of the time. The problem started after the first year and has gotten worse. This REALLY chaps my ass because it did it once after 6 months and I was too stupid to send it back, didn't reappear till 6-8 months later.

Value:
All in all, if mine had no problems, I'd say it's a decent investment for a practice amp but it's not that great for gigs. Add another $300 and get something with hair on it's ass.

Desirability:
I must have thought it looked pretty good...I was drawn in.

Sound:
Average cheapie amp. The low end really hangs out there so get a compressor to level it out

Ease of Use:
Easy to get this thing zeroed in to it's best sound.

Support:
Fixin' to find out.

Overall:
Junk

"sweet."

Feature:
Eh, i only give the features a 5... reason one, my ultrabass function doesnt work correctly. it "flickers". reason two, the footswitch isnt really necassary. And when itry ti run my bass through my amp to the computer for recording, i get a unpleasing sound.

Quality:
i give it a six, because, liek i said, the ultrabass doesnt work on mine. Other than that, everything's great.

Value:
eh, ill give it a ten, despite the sucky ultrabass. i mean, its a great value for the money.

Desirability:
Well, i wanted it, so i got it. its not too ugly, not too fancy, its a nice lil amp.

Sound:
The sound is great. I wanted a small amp, but loud enough for jamming with my band. And, its plenty loud. I haven't played a gig with it yet, but, i suppose if its loud and great for practice, itll do great for a small gig.

Ease of Use:
well, its easy to use...

Support:
I tried contacting behringer about my ultrabass function, got no reply.

Overall:
A Ten, but only cuz its great for price. and sounds great.

Description

Looking for a bass combo to cover all of your practice, rehearsal and recording needs? One that will not only deliver awesome sound and incredible low-end punch, but also enough power to compete with a band? And - if you had your way - one that could also cut it on larger stages with additional speakers? No such thing, you say? Then check out the BX1200.

Behringer's largest Ultrabass combo combines raw power with an amazingly flexible 2-channel preamp section and an abundance of professional I/O options rarely found in bass combos, to give you everything you need in a bass combo and then some. Its oversized power supply, along with revolutionary, patent-pending Dynamizer circuitry and the carefully designed bass reflex enclosure, ensure that the short-circuit proof, virtually indestructible power amp with its 2-speed thermo-controlled fan will always deliver to its full capability without sacrificing punch or sound quality. The BX1200's preamp section starts with your choice of active or passive inputs, and goes on to offer incredible tone-shaping power, with separate gain controls for each channel and a 4-band EQ. Channel two features switchable and tunable Shape function, which ideally complements the EQ by giving you extra control over those dreaded "nasal" mid frequencies. Both channels also share a built-in Ultrabass function. Based on Behringer's celebrated psychoacoustics units, this subharmonics processor adds ultra-low frequencies to your sound and is tunable and switchable via a front-panel button or the included footswitch.

The BX1200 features a custom-made 12 in. aluminum cone speaker that reproduces your sound with incredible power, sensitivity, and warmth. Should you need extra clout for larger venues, you've got the option of connecting additional speakers and/or power amps. And speaking of connections, you'll also appreciate the stereo tape I/O, the insert facility for outboard effects or processors (preamp out/power amp in), and the tuner and headphone outputs. Not to mention the balanced DI out with XLR connector, perfect for recording or PA applications. Oh, and by the way: the BX1200's innovative wedge shape allows you to use it standing up or tipped back at a perfect floor monitor angle.
