"retro-cool"
this amp is good if you like the vintage sound, but you cant make a lot of other kinds of sounds besides the overdrive.
Sound
this amp is designed to be a vintage sounding amp and it faithfully reproduces the sounds of the 60's, lots of treble and punch, but if you want a deep rich sound, this isnt the amp for you. it has very nice overdrive when all the knobs are cranked all the way up.
Features
this has an ample amount of features for a practice amp. it has a 3 band eq, and several inputs/outputs.
Quality
i've had this amp for a while and it is very durable and is not made with cheap crappy parts.
Value
this amp is dirt cheap and is perfect for jamming by yourself or with a band and its loudness is surprising
Manufacturer Support

The Wow Factor

"BEST BASS PRACTICE AMP IN ITS PRICE RANGE."
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
This will cover your practing rehearsal needs in terms of dependability and function.
Sound
This amp sounds wonderful for its size. There is a nice deep, rich tone and a good deal of variation available just messing with your bass controls and the three tone knobs on the amp. For practicing or rehersals without drums, it would perform well. I am using a Jack Casady Signature Bass and it sounds just great. Very little to no buzzing or hiss at all.
Features
Simple: Treble, Bass, Mids and Gain. For an amp this size it offers the usual headphone outputs as well as tape input and outputs (Rca jacks).
Ease of Use
Easy.
Quality
Very good quality.
Value
The best quality amp at this price. Unbeatable unless you by used from a blindman who doesn't know what he has.
Manufacturer Support
I have no idea. I assume it would be good.
The Wow Factor
Very good-looking amp. The best-looking practice amp out there.

I opened the box after I got it from fed ex, plugged it in with my Lyon bass. WOW and without effects this little things a beauty and beast. It put my old Sundown low-rider 40 to shame.

Behringer BX108 Bass Amp Customer Review
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
I'm sure I won't be replacing this for a good long time, although I'll definately get another amp for things such as playing live. This is a great amp for practicing, rehersals, and even possibly small gigs.
Sound
This amp has excellent sound. When I purchased it, I was absolutely amazed that it had such great sound, especially for the price. It also gives little to no hum.
Features
It could use a few more controls, but it gets the job done.
Ease of Use
If you know how to plug in your instrument and flip a switch, you know how to use this amp.
Quality
It is a very well made amp. I never have any worries about it breaking, or encountering a problem with it. It also had no cosmetic flaws when I purchased it. Overall, I believe that it will last a good long time.
Value
As I said before, it has stunning sound, especially for the price, which at the time that I bought it was around $70.
Manufacturer Support
N/A. I haven't had a problem with it, so I haven't needed to contact Behringer.
The Wow Factor
It's fairly plain looking, but I like the retro feel.
