The BA115HP is a simplified tone box featuring a 220-watt power section and 1 in. horn driver for high frequency definition. The variable "L-pad" on the back of the amp allows you to adjust the level of your highs. The XLR line out makes it easy to patch to a mixing board or recording console. A built-in digital chromatic tuner and mute switch have been added for easy noiseless tuning or changing of instruments while on stage. Learn More...

Feature:
A rather small thing - Standby switch should be isolated on panel. It is too close to a control knob.

Support:
Only had it a week. Haven't had need for it.

Feature:
The amp came with a set of removeable casters. Since this thing weigh 80 pounds that was a nice feature. Features on this amp aren't many but the ones you get a re simple. The five way style switch is nice but I only use 1, 2, and 3. I think this amp should have came with an effects loop and it does not have an extention speaker outlet which I think it should have but other than that the amp is great.

Quality:
Excellent Ampeg quality. Built like a tank. Everything fits together very well and nothing looks cheap. It's dependable and very durable. I never bring a back up. Ampeg does not use metal grills so the grill cloth is suspect but they never have and if they did it wouldn't look like an Ampeg anymore so I guess i can live with that.

Value:
Honestly I think these amps are little expensive when they don't give you an effects loop, and extension speaker hook ups but you do get more wattage / power (220 watts) than the products in this price range. I guess it's the price you pay to get the Ampeg tone in a combo amp.

Desirability:
The Ampeg look and sound are classic. It's no technical marvel it just sounds great and there really is no other reason to own one. They have a very simple vintage look to them that I really like.

Sound:
I rate this a 10 because, well, it sounds like an Ampeg... It has that vintage Ampeg tone thnat no other amp has. It fits the type of music very well but can also be versatle enough to cover a lot of different types of music

Support:
I don't know how to rate this because I have never had to use them. I guess no contact with them is a good thing so I will give them a 9.

Overall:
As far as a combo amps go I don't think I will ever need another one. I plan on sticking with this one for a long time. I had an SWR Workingmans 15 before this one and the Ampeg just sounds better hands down. It may be missing a few features that the SWR offered but it's tone blows it away.
