Ampeg B200R Rocket Bass Combo Amplifier (220 Watts, 1x15 in.)

The B-200R builds on the technology used in Ampeg's popular B-100R, offering 220 watts RMS and a custom-designed 15 in. Eminence driver. The retro "blue check" covering and companion silver and blue grill-cloth generate a cool '70s vibe; the B-200R is "old school" on steroids. Coming in at just under 70 lbs., the B-200R can rock an average- to medium-sized venue, and rock it hard! Learn More...

Feature:
very cool, no complaints. just the right amount of features, not a bunch of frills and gimmicks.

Quality:
this is the only gripe i have about this amp. made in china. sure i haven't had any quality issues, but for $650 i want american. i have looked this amp over thoroughly, and it looks solid.

Value:
tube preamp and 220W of ampeg tone. not bad. value should be slightly lower due to being made in china by 11 year old slave laborers

Desirability:
cool looking, great sounding. couldn't ask for more. except "i want it" to be made in the u.s.a

Sound:
sound is great, dialing in your sound is super easy no silly eq sliders or garbage like that. plenty loud, probably going to make your guitarist angry.

Ease of Use:
plug and play

Support:
haven't had to use it, don't anticipate any problems, but ampeg and zzounds have great reputations for customer support.

Overall:
i have played comparable units from swr, fender, the ba115hpt from ampeg, line 6, and plenty of others. this thing is the best by far. the only gripe i have is made in china, but when i turn it on and crank it up i pretty much forget about that.

Feature:
They thought of everything but a speaker out jack.

Quality:
Was rattling a little but after I tightened up the screws on the side it's hardly noticeable.

Value:
Best money I ever spent on a Amplifier.

Desirability:
It really is a cool looking amp.

Sound:
Very versatile amp with a great vintage low end tone.It also has a great punchy sound thanks to the built in horn. After i got it home and really started playing it I realized how great it sounded. I now have sold my SVT 2pro and use only this.

Support:
No calls yet.

Sound:
Sick - you can twist the EQ and get virtually any vintage to modern tone you want. The 12AU7 preamp tube adds warmth and depth. EXCELLENT Vaule!
