Best value:
Excellent
The BA-115 is a whole amp transistors. It DLivre 100 W, this is - say a lot of volume, sagissant watt Ampeg! This is a pretty basic amp, equipped dun dun HP 38 cm tweeter.
Nevertheless it presents a number of functionalities:
The pan infrieur rear is suddenly allowing a choice of the place of legal or wedge position.
In addition to legalization three bands, it features a slecteur 5 presets giving all significantly diffrentes sound colors.
Of course it also offers the rglage dentre gain and output volume. Regarding the entries, there is a normal and attnue. Even with my bass is active, jOperation lentre normal.
He finally has dentres Cinch for connecting a CD or MP3 player, a drum bote, etc.
In terms of regrets:
The XLR output is not a full DI oprationnelle because dpendante directly rglage volume. Too bad.
The tweeter is neither adjustable nor dbrayable.
There is no control on the volume of the auxiliary signal (RCA jacks): ds that Lampl is lit when a turbine background, even with the gain and volume zero .dropoff window
No indicator for peak lentre.
But replaons things in context: the BA-115 na never intended be a high end amp. This is even the opposite! And in this price range, despite the few flaws that i numrs, it remains very interesting.
USE
It can hardly be simpler. At most it advisable to look in the manual What do the 5 positions slecteur. In my case, this is the 3, this is - say flat, without any correction (and ditto for lgaliseur).
For the rest, this is all in spite of lAmpeg tradition: plug and play (and enjoy).
No difficulty getting a good sound. This much, I am the User with very good bass (Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass 5 string). I do not will guarantee that the sound is great with a low inexpensive.
The manual is the image of Lampl: Simple and compact, but sufficient.
SONORITS
I mainly played in two separate formations: an orchestra varieties / pop / rock and a trio of soul / rhythmnblues. In all cases jobtiens with this amp sound that suits me well and still very hot. It nest dailleurs reminiscent me Portaflex B15N javais that long ago, and i had the stupidity to sell (yes, really).
The BA-115 conjugated my Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass 5 string, Massure a beautiful sound presence and incredible as it may seem, even with a guitarist who plays very hard, a drummer who bangs like a deaf and a keyboard that gravely heat its speakers, I do not need to push a lot for this little Ampeg quon mentende well. Really amazing from this point of view.
For the rest, obviously, it remains a BA-115 SVT not all lamps years 70. This is far from perfect even when, but again, the quality is very in ter above what one is entitled to wait dun amp 350 euros.
NOTICE GLOBAL
Jai this amp for 8 months. I am the User daily (including 40 concerts and twenty rehearsals). No worries. Japprcie above all its simplicity: you plug has rings, and no need to take you the head.
I had a lot damplis in my life, including a Sunn Concert Bass, Fender Bassman, two Peavey an SVT 70s (which i s still btement sold), a B15N Two Ashdown, two Markbass, and also a Ampeg B100R. And I think jen forget.
At 350 euros, this amp is unbeatable, as long as you like of course the Ampeg grain. I lai same test when modern fashion, with such big boost slap on acute and large hollow in the mediums: he defends the same mchamment well, even if probably a Hartke or SWR will certainly be naturally comfortable in this type of exercise.
Note: i read a lot of testimonies on the tweeter whistling. I do not know if Ampeg eventually solve the problem on the most rcents models, but for me, even when the exercise slap, no whistle on mine .dropoff window But maybe i had a big stroke of luck.
Jenvisage now buying a Classic SVT 8x10 speaker cabinet with. But not only I will keep even when the BA-115 on the places too straits, but I say if CTAIT again, I would do it eyes closed.
Last thing: after a short passage clearly dcevant by Viet Nam, production Ampeg is dsormais in China (as for many other brands dailleurs, but many do not tell you forcment). I have to say objectively that the quality is. The Tolex holds good. No PPIN. My former B100R, yet manufactured in the USA by SLM had put less than 8 months show the first problem (minor but same problem when). Here, all is well.
