Product Description

The BVP5500 begins with two selected pairs of 12AX7 preamp valves with their own Drive-control. Suhweet! When you want to rock the house you need serious power. The BVP5500 brings 550 of the cleanest fan-cooled watts you'll ever hear -- or feel. And since bass players do not live by Watts alone, the BVP5500 is equipped with a stunning arsenal of tone-sculpting tools, including a 3-band EQ with sweepable mids, Ultra-High and Ultra-Low switches, and a 9-band graphic EQ for the ultimate in tone control.

For you non-purists, there is an Effects Loop and an Insert Channel with Preamp Out and Power Amp In connections for expanded versatility. Use the included footswitch to kill the signal to the amp, allowing you to tune in blissful silence and to activate/deactivate the graphic EQ.
Be gentle. This kind of power can go to your head!

"Best Kept Secret in Bass Amplification"
Sound: The sound is great, but it's "all in the wrist". Sometimes less is more. I suggest flattening all controls to get the natural tone from your bass, then add or subtract to embellish your sound. Feature: It comes with a footswitch with two stomps...one for mute, the other to turn the EQ on and off. THis amp hass plenty of features, probably more than you'll need, but it's always better to have more than you need rather than not having enough. Ease of Use: If you know what you're doing, you can achieve just about any sound you want from this amp. If you're not well versed in EQing, just start with everything flat and start (seasoning). Quality: It's heavy and seem road-capable and it looks pretty good for rack-type amp. Value: Yes. Manufacturer Support: Haven't needed to call.

Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Bugera , Bugera, Bugera"
Overall: Man I love this amp. It pumps pure bass and the tones are so warm and can be changed to whatever you like. The EQ is awesome of course. The amp is a bit on the heavy side but I guess you pay for durability right. Love it though.I definitely recommend.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.
