This amp should last me a lifetime, literally. I have been very diligent in practicing my drums and maybe at some point in the future if I decided to upgrade to a larger kit, I might consider a bigger amp, but I doubt it. It's just a great amp for what I need, plain and simply put.

Sound
I recently purchased this amp, from ZZOUNDS.com, and I am totally satisfied. First off, let me preface my review by admitting that I am NOT a musician. I know nothing of the intricacies of perfecting music played through amps, mixers, etc... However, six months ago I purchased a Yamaha DTXplorer electronic drum kit, also from ZZOUNDS, and I have been trying to teach myself how to play(which has been a lifelong dream). As a 54 year old wannabe-drummer, I finally spent some cash for an amp, the KT-108. To be succinct, it sounds fabulous!!! I had tried to play my set through my Pioneer stereo but to be honest, the speakers couldn't handle the low level bass sounds of the drum kit without becoming very distorted. With the KT-108, voila! Problem solved!!! This amp is great for practicing and has been such a blessing for me to be able to get an idea of how I really sound when I am playing. The CD/mp3 player input is great. It's nice to be able to play along to songs(or in my case, TRY to play along). It's also nice to plug in my headphones to the amp, instead of the outlet on my drum module which will help prolong the life of the module. My kit is very read more travel-friendly, so I recently took it to the family reunion, on Father's Day. Both of my brothers play guitar, the older of the two also plays piano, keyboard, bass and a few more instruments; and my brother-in-law is a legitimate, used-to-be-a-musician drummer, so we kinda had a family boogiefest. I had not purchased my amp yet, so I used my brother's Peavey 50 watt keyboard amp to play the drums. They sounded good BUT I think that the drums sound much better when played through the KT-108. Again, that's one man's opinion but it's mine and I am sticking to it. Keep in mind, I am not going for volume, I just want quality. I primarily listen to jazz and smooth jazz music, so I don't the need Led Zeppelin window-shattering volume and power. Having said that, let me again reiterate that this is a high-quality, outstanding amp. Many thanks to Behringer for a great product and to ZZOUNDS.com for making it available to folks like me!

Features
It has 2 instrument inputs, a CD/mp3 player input, adjustable equalizer and a headphone jack. What else can you ask for?

Ease of Use
Open the box, read the instructions(not really necessary), plug it in and presto! it's music.

Quality
As I stated before, high quality, no reason to believe that this amp won't last longer than me! Hey, I am 54, so there you go.

Value
Again, I have a severely limited experiential level to draw from but for my money this was a great deal.

Manufacturer Support
The only support that I have used was totally related to registering my product and that was flawless.

The Wow Factor
It's a keyboard amp, so how "sexy" can it be? It is nice looking, well-designed and very utilitarian. They also sent me an extra "Behringer" sticker, so I made out like a bandit!
