zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Behringer BVT5500h"

Sound: I think the sound quality is very good.Using the eq,the high,mid and,low knob tone selectors and the five different voicings the amp can dial up just about any tone you want it even has a built in overdrive if you like that vintage mildly distorted 60s and 70s tone. Feature: The features are great as I have stated above,you really get a lot of bang for your buck I would place it among the higher end amps at a fraction of the cost. Ease of Use: Its like anything,the more you learn the more you use it,the more you use it the more you learn,it took me a couple of hours to get my tone set up the way I like it but it is in no way overly complicated. Quality: Quality I think is good,metal corner protectors,solidly built housing,controls are a little soft but,I think as long as you dont throw it out of the back of your truck at a 100 mph and expect it to stay in one peice this amp will serve you for a long time. Value: Behringer could ask a heck of a lot more for this amp and be justified in doing so.I am glad they dont and you just really cant go wrong where the money is concerned Manufacturer Support: I havn't had the need for company support and,really dont think I will. The Wow Factor: Vintage Ampeg looks, clean and classy with a hint of sinister.Its kind of like the librarian prim,proper,reserved until the lights go out and the she becomes a total freak. Overall: Behringer really gives you a lot boom for your buck.The amp has more than enough power for just about any performance situation.I have read a couple of reveiws that said they had problems with quality of the controls ie: knobs coming loose,personally I have'nt had any problems with anything the amp is very well constructed.I have mine paired with a Fender Rumble 4-10 cabinet ,I can get just about any tone I want without much trouble. If you like the classic Ampeg look at a fraction of the price,you cant go wrong with the Behringer BVT5500h.

Style of Music: Classic Rock,Blues,R&B
