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. Feature: very cool, no complaints. just the right amount of features, not a bunch of frills and gimmicks. Ease of Use: plug and play 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 Manufacturer Support: haven't had to use it, don't anticipate any problems, but ampeg and zzounds have great reputations for customer support. The Wow Factor: cool looking, great sounding. couldn't ask for more. except "i want it" to be made in the u.s.a 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.

Sound: I've owned a Peavy Combo 300 for two years. The rich clear warm sound of this tubed Preamp is superb in the B200R. I play 50 & 60's rock & roll, blues and pop music. I also play some folk and basic blue grass through a Hoffner wannabe. In a pinch in will work as an acoustic guitar amp too. Feature: For what I play this is the best. Tubed Preamp. Basic EQ with enhanced Ultra high, mid & low. XLR line out. Headphones out with level adjustment. You can select bass with or without tweeter. Classic amp look. Ease of Use: Still figuring it out; so far easy as eating pie. Actually far easier to use than my Peavy which utilizes 8 band equalization. My needs are pretty basic and I run a DigiTech BP80 through for some distortion and also heavy reverb. Pipeline sounds awesome. Quality: I've had less than a week. Looks perfect. I cut down the power chord strap because it otherwise makes it difficult to get the power chord unraveled. It looks and feels solid, but too early make prediction on reliability. Ampeg does have a good rep, but this one is made in China and only time will tell. But for the price Zzounds sells it for at $350 it's like stealing. You can attach caster rollers that it comes with, but those things would make the amp rattle (on any amp)so I've used a collapsible folding cart with larger softer wheels. Value: Definitely worth the price. Manufacturer Support: I chose Ampeg because other friends that play bass like Ampeg. I've had no reason to contact them. The Wow Factor: I like the classic look which is a bonus. It is simply a great sounding amp. Overall: It sounds great. Still too early to make a real prediction. If lost or stolen TODAY I would replace with same. Good looks, great sound and a great price.

Sound: I PLAY A 5 STRING MUSICMAN STINGRAY ON AND IT SOUNDS AMAZING, BUT I WAS DISAPPOINTED WHEN I STARTED TURNING IT UP LOUDER. THERE WAS A CONSTANT HUM A RATTLES. Feature: NOT TOO MANY ACCESSORIES WHICH IS THE WAY I LIKE IT. Ease of Use: VERY EASY TO USE Quality: THE QUALITY WAS GREAT ON THE OUTSIDE BUT THATS NOT WHAT COUNTS. Value: DID NOT KEEP THE AMP. Manufacturer Support: SUPPORT AND WARRANTY IS ONE OF THE BEST. The Wow Factor: LOOKS GREAT Overall: GREAT SOUND UNDER LOWER VOLUME BUT IT CRAPS OUT WHEN TURNED UP. THIS IS THE SECOND ONE I'M RETURNING.VERY POOR QUALITY CONTROL FROM THE MANUFACTURER. I FEEL VERY DISAPPOINTED.

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!

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. 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. Manufacturer Support: No calls yet. The Wow Factor: It really is a cool looking amp.
