Sound: This amp has precisely the tone I was looking for. I have an SVT4 which is the Ampeg sister amp, they have a lot of similarities but The Nuke has more power and clearer tone. I love the sounds I can make with it and my basses. The clarity is perfect. Feature: I think it could go for some better overdrive. The EQs are great for switching up tones quickly. Foot Switch is a life saver at gigs where you can't readily access your amp. Ease of Use: Stupid easy. Quality: It's sweet looking, I have modified my chassis and the base but the knobs and pieces are all sturdy and have lasted. Value: This amount of tone and volume for this price is just ridiculous. Manufacturer Support: I haven't had any problems. The Wow Factor: Who doesn't want a 3600w head? "The Nuke" branding is cool but not gaudy. Overall nice looking amp. Overall: This is the amp for a bassist looking for a easily modulated yet clean tone. Sounds great on both active and passive pickups. I love this amp.

Sound: Right off the box, the sound was good. Not warm-spectacular as one one get from an SVT type of amp, but decent enough that only another peer bassist would notice the low mids are a bit weak. I played it for hours almost immediately and found that while it "colored" my Bass' natural sound, with agressive tweaking of the graphic eq, it more than made up for that filter and soon was rumbling away. I loved it .......... at first. Feature: Sturdy construction, .... and the EQ features were ok. Again, it has a color of its own and leaving it flat makes you wonder who's bass it is that you're playing, but overal, -and for the price -, more than enough features to feel like the purchase was a steal. Ease of Use: Very intuitive controls and knobs, easy to see at night. No problems here .... BUT DAMMIT THIS THING IS HEAVY! Quality: I used it for 6 weeks, suddenly in the middle of the gig the sound just cut-out 50%. I was baffled. So I thought I blew the transformer or something catastrophic like that. I call the company, they said they would send me an RA (repair authorization). So I waited.......7 days! Finally I called back and in another 3 days I had my RA. To take to a shop .................90 miles away in San Francisco. The shop keeps my amp for a month, and it wasn't until I called that they said they were short on parts. (Really?). So I once again call the manufacturer, who gives me a second RA, and decides to send me a new one. Great! (I thought). Two weeks later I am still waiting for my amp to arrive. True story. Value: You get what you pay for. You pay 5-600 bucks for an amp like this, there is a reason for it. There are corners to be cut. Power like that is not that cheap. ... and I found out the hard way. Manufacturer Support: THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! I have never been so put off by a product in my life. If you cant back up your product .... then dont sell it. The Wow Factor: When it worked, ... beastly and thunderous tone. Overall: This amp had the potential to be great .... then I played my 3rd gig ....

Sound: I heard about behringer quality issues but took a chance. It's onyl been afew months and 5 or so gigs but if this unit does not break down on me then it is the best amp I have ever owned, that includes my old Ampeg I had to have serviced twice within 2 years of purchase. This thing has all the power I could ever want and every feature I could want. I love the compressor and the limiter and the tone is amazing. Quality: So far...

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.
