Lots of power. Very strong amp but very lightweight...about 10 lbs. Nice footswitch to toggle between a clean and slightly overdriven channel, or to add Ultrabass to either channel(sounds like a chorus effect). Great deal for the money. I have used many popular amp brands and this one is right up there in quality and easily the best for value.

I play in a doom/sludge/metal/rock/whatever band so tone a clarity are important to stand out. I play on an Ibanez and a Dean bass, both sound great through this. I needed something that was easy on the wallet as well and this was the perfect find. The sound was dynamic and easily controlled. I was able to dial in the sound I wanted right away with ease. E.Q.ed correctly the distortion sounds just right and am able to match the clean to distortion pretty easily. I dont use the compressor at all as there is no need, and the Ultrabass adds a little kick to it but if turned up too much sounds wavy and like a weak chorus, which was my only complaint for the wide landscape type textures we create. Ive gigged with it a few times and still havent turned it up past the halfway mark, it can definitely push some wattage and even wowed my friends who have been doing this 20 plus years. Overall this is a great bass head for metal, as far as other genres I cant really give a review for..

I'm a retired lifelong musician. Played professionally for 18 years, and now just an occaisional fill in locally. I also work on guitars and amps in my local shop. This little amp is absolutely amazing. I can hardly imagine it has 300 watts when I carry it, let alone looking at it. I lugged around Fender heads, Marshall heads, Kustom tuck and roll heads, so I have a ton of experience lugging this stuff around. Again, amazing...! As for how it works, sounds, .... its very intuitive to use. The knobs seem just ok, but work fine. I say just ok, as I'm comparing this to steel chassis amps with conventional transformers. I'm not sure how much wear and tear this amp will take, but again, its so light weight, you may just carry it in a large computer bag, so maybe it will go the distance, or maybe not. But it does seem well made, so time will tell. As for how it sounds and functions, I find the tone and volume quite acceptable, and I really like the ultrabass. Just be aware you need some good cabs to push these low frequencies without speaker distortion. I've played two basses through it, a 67 Gibson and a relatively new P-bass I built with Seymour Duncan pups. It takes the lows of the Gibson very well, and frankly as good as any other amp I've used. As for the Fender style guitars, it seems the highs are lacking, but not by much. And it may depend on the cab used. I'm currently using it with two cabs, a older Peavey, and a home brew 2-12 cab with old reconed square back CTS speakers. I must say I'm enjoying it a lot, and for this price, I may buy another for a spare....just in case I drop this little jewel. No other amp compares to this one for the price and function. 300 watts for $150 ? Absolutely amazing.

I bought this as a backup amp to my Ampeg, but I'm using this little powerhouse more because the features allow me to dial in any tone I want. This amp has surpassed my expectations fully! You can't beat this deal for the price.

Just like the title...LOUD!!!!!! I bought a behringer combo amp years back with this same configuration and only 180 watts and that was loud.....so I knew what I was getting with this amp head but.....this thing is LOUD at 300 watts into 4ohms.... love the EQ compressor and dirty channel.... effects loop in the back of the amp....with DI...for the price...you can't go wrong....like I said...LOUD!!!!!!

First have to say that this head is friggen awesome !I had an Ampeg B2RE,& the sound quality of this blows it away, & ton's lighter also.The large fan is super quiet, & the head doesn't even hardly get warm ,even with playing @ 5/8 volume for around a couple of hrs.It also comes with a heavy duty metal case duel switch pedal, that is ''very'' stout.I'am using it on top of a Ported 15 cab, w/ a heavy capped Piezo, & looped in with a BBE 362 sonic maximizer & BBE 31 band EQ.Sound quality is absolutely stunning.Did the easy pay with zZounds, & they are ''Epic'' with having this play as you pay option. Have already told misc. fellow players about this head, & zZounds.

Love this little amp... did take me a while to get the sound I wanted dialed in but once I did I have no complaints. The included foot switch is a plus and i would rather this as high as any other amp I've used so far yet at a fraction of the cost. Haven't had any issues (only had it a couple weeks so far) I'll update again after a few months.

Great tone for the price, but if you play aggressive and loud, don't waste your money. I am an aggresive pick player, and so I give my guitars and amps quite a beating. I had one great gig with it. And since then it has been cutting out. And gradually getting worse. At the studio I have this and they have a GK head. At first I thought it might have been my cables or guitar electronics. Found out through research that I was probably overloading it (running it through a 2x15 cabinet). Which was the case. So I stopped using it at gigs and limited it to studio use, playing it at lower volumes, using a 4x10 cabinet. And yesterday she just crapped out. Cant play 3 notes with out it absolutely just cutting out. Plugged my stuff into the GK, not a single problem. The verdict is that the amp is just not well equipped for longevity and cant handle being pushed. However for a beginner, for the price and the tonal options, it's not bad. For a gigging veteran on a budget, just skip right over it.
