Sound: sounds very natural, plugged 2 different AE guitars, nice sound for each...also tried mic channel and it sounds great as well, tried reverb with harmonica, think I will continue to use that live.... Feature: love that it includes a foot pedal..very handy Ease of Use: very simple to figure out and I'm usually a little lost with electronics Quality: knobs are a little small and fragile seeming and a cover would be nice but that's my only concern Value: really great prices on all Behringer products Manufacturer Support: not used just got it a few weeks ago The Wow Factor: great looking Overall: I would replace with same

Sound: This amp has fantastic sound. It has near perfect acoustic reproduction. I play my Ovation through it, and the sound is warm, full and rich. There is no amp hum or anything. It also does wonders for my voice, which is saying quite a bit. The 180 watts is provides plenty of volume, whether alone or with a band. The stereo amp fills a room from front to back, and is not too loud or soft anywhere. Put it on an amp stand to elevate and tilt it for the best sound. Feature: Lots of features. The equalizer is great and the FBQ works well. I really like the built in effects. The room, hall and concert reverb are very nice and very natural. They enhance the sound without being overdone. The other effects also sound pretty good, though I'm not sure how often one would use flange or phaser on an acoustic instrument. Again, they are noticeable but not overdone. All sorts of jacks for input and output. Loved that they included a foot switch so I don't have to buy one later, and it is metal and well made too. Ease of Use: Very simple to operate. The manual is straight forward, and you don't have to memorize all the effects numbers, as they are listed right on the amp. I was able to go from full, natural acoustics to some twangy blue grass in no time at all. Quality: Seems pretty solid and well made. Hefty feel and solid construction. Good protection on the corners. However, the knobs do feel a little cheap and plastic, like they could be knocked off pretty easily if banged around in a trailer or something too much. This is probably the only area where I fault the amp. But I tend to baby my equipment, so no real problem for me. Value: Hard to beat. Great sound, great features, lots of wattage, and a reasonable price. Manufacturer Support: Only had it a month, so I haven't needed any support yet. However, I did contact Behringer with some pre-sale questions. They responded quickly and were very helpful with my questions. The Wow Factor: Amp has a nice look. Sort of retro, though the equalizers take away from this. Overall, pretty cool looking. Overall: Had this a month now and am very happy. I play with a small country group every now and then, and wanted something for voice and my acoustic without bring a whole PA system along. This fits the bill nicely, and the sound is great. This is my first amp from Behringer, and I would certainly buy from them again.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: I bought this amp online without trying it. The low price, abundance of features, looks and wattage attracted me to the amp. When I fired it up I was very disappointed. The first thing that concerned me is that I had to set the volume on my guitar all the way up, crank the Master volume and gain on the amp past 9 and that only obtained about 85db of sound from a few feet away. The amp is not loud enough for my living room so I would never attempt to use it at a live performance. The sound quality was poor to say the least. Even with each channel having it's own eq I could not get the sound dialed in anywhere close to being acceptable for professional applications. The best I could do was get an OK sound from the acoustic guitar. I tried using several mics including the industry standard a Sure 58. I spent a great deal of time trying to get a decent warm sound from the vocal channel but it wasn't going to happen. Feature: The amp has a lot of features which is part of what drew me towards it. However, the quality of the eq, compressor, and effects were not very good. Quality: Great looking amp, and well built cabnit. The knobs are not the highest quality. The Wow Factor: Astatically it's a good looking amp. Lots of features but they didn't help obtaining a good sound. Overall: I am sorry to say that I was very dissatisfied and returned the amp for a refund. I would only recommend this amp as a starter amp
