"Excellent practice amp, but it's too quiet and doesn't have a line out."

Overall: 3 out of 5 stars

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I'm returning this amp for two reasons, and LISTEN UP: This amp is not loud enough for a small combo. It doesn't have the bottom end. I know what I'm talking about. Second, THERE IS NO LINE OUT TO THE P.A. SYSTEM, SO YOU CAN'T PLUG INTO THE P.A. TO BE HEARD OUT FRONT. THIS IS THE DEAL BREAKER FOR ME.
Sound
This little guy only has a 12" paper speaker and 90 watts. Considering that it puts out a solid sound. However, when I tried using it with a combo I'm in, it didn't cut it. The low E dropped into emptiness and I felt the amp straining to keep up.
Features
The amp has a pretty good eq section with the 10 band. I found the FBQ pretty worthless, and the subharmonic sounded more like a deep electrical generation sound. Not usable. There were two channels but you have to activate each channel with a button, not a footswitch. All in all not bad for a $179 amp.
Ease of Use
For a beginner, there are so many variations that it could be hard to dial in a good sound. Sweepable mid, with level, graphic eq, subharmonic. Stick with a flat eq to start with and turn the master up near full and use the channel two for volume control. the mid sweep works best for me at about seven o'clock on the dial.
Quality
Excellent build. Very tight fitting, the workmanship shines! Excellent looking piece of equipment, looks much nicer than the price.
Value
For the price, this is a good value.
Manufacturer Support
It's always taken about three days for them to get back to me from their website, but REMEMBER, register your gear, and send an email. Behringer has a policy that nowadays they just swap out the old unit with a new one from a music store. Good policy!
The Wow Factor
Very sleek looking, looks good onstage. Very professional appearance. Graphic EQ lights up when it's on.

Sound
This is a wonderful little amp, and if youre in this price range there is no better. it still sounds great at higher volumes, and is awesome for slapping. its not quite loud enough to play with a loud drummer, but still a great buy
Features
theres all types of those equalizer switches; you can make the tone however you want it
Ease of Use
plug in, play. does it get easier?
Quality
i did blow it up once, which was because of my ignorance. it cost 50 bucks to get it fixed at my local shop
Value
