Back to Product Information
Sound: The sound is great, but it's "all in the wrist". Sometimes less is more. I suggest flattening all controls to get the natural tone from your bass, then add or subtract to embellish your sound. Feature: It comes with a footswitch with two stomps...one for mute, the other to turn the EQ on and off. THis amp hass plenty of features, probably more than you'll need, but it's always better to have more than you need rather than not having enough. Ease of Use: If you know what you're doing, you can achieve just about any sound you want from this amp. If you're not well versed in EQing, just start with everything flat and start (seasoning). Quality: It's heavy and seem road-capable and it looks pretty good for rack-type amp. Value: Yes. Manufacturer Support: Haven't needed to call.

Overall: Man I love this amp. It pumps pure bass and the tones are so warm and can be changed to whatever you like. The EQ is awesome of course. The amp is a bit on the heavy side but I guess you pay for durability right. Love it though.I definitely recommend.

Overall: i own behringer products including a 6 year old bx4500h amp which has great tone and power and has never let me down. i build my own cabs and the new bugera bvp5500 is running thru 3 15's and 2 10's. the volume and tone this amp produces are phenominal. as i said i've had great luck with other behringer products and this one has yet to prove it's logevity, but i have faith it will last. since this amp is brand new i don't know what to put in the "required" manufacturer support column so i'll just give it a 3.

Manufacturer Support: not needed so far--website is well thought out. Overall: Thick tone-versatile,powerful tube/hybrid----I have A Carvin BX1200 that is ok but not as pleasing --this amp is great for acoustic electric as well.

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!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

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.

Because we have two well-situated warehouses--one on each coast--nearly three- quarters of the US population is located within our two-day shipping zones. Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

In fact, zZounds offers free two-day delivery on many of our best-selling products!

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
