All user reviews for the Ampeg BA-115HP

Combo 220 watt speaker 15 "transistor but closer to 150 and I think

Entries for low active and passive, CD input, headphone output and XLR output

Style 5 positions and 3-band equalizer, Volume and Gain control, mute button

Very helpful casters to move this mass without much effort ...

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration but it is not his sound in 5 minutes you have to look a minimum and adjust the settings with the Style button to change the sound dramatically.

Very useful manual

The sound is flat good. Naturally very round and warm but we can get a much higher pitch by turning the valuable Style button.
After that depends on the bass used but even my Squier midrange sounds perfectly with this amp

SOUNDS

At home on ALL styles except as extreme Metal etc ... but even better on the Reggae, Rock, Funk, Pop and Soul.

We get the sound you want by searching a little, but greatly colors the sound of your bass Ampeg way, we like it or dislike it try.

I love the style position 2 we obtain a well-rounded sound, deep and warm wishes
I never use the 5 position style too acute for me

OVERALL OPINION

I used since 2013 to gain 5 and 7/8 max volume if the neighbors call the police (no kidding!)
After this course it is still not out 220 watts planned and it is unacceptable to put it forward for selling.

I tried the Fender models and others in the same price range but they do not suit me.

What I like most is the style I find very effective position 2.
What I hate is the famous Tweeter makes the sound of the amp disgusting! luckily I disabled because it completely distorts the sound and breath creates and amplifies noise.

The quality is there to share the good Watts announced but it is very expensive and the Tweeter is extremely unpleasant.
For once against disabled the sound is very good but it is subjective, try.
A buy without hesitation if the budget is there even if it costs an arm competition at the same price seems to me average

I bought this little powerhouse at a local music store. I got it for $899.00 Canadian. I needed a decent amp that could be heard over drums and that could be used for small gigs, with out spending tons of money on a stack.

It is really simple, fairly large, and extremely loud. I only have to turn the master volume up to 3 to be heard over the drums. Its got 220 watts of power exiting through a single 15" speaker, it makes your guts vibrate. Its 3 band EQ is really straight forward, nothing complicated at all. One of the coolest things is that it a has mute switch that mutes the sound so you can change basses quitely, and it also has a built in tuner. Mine came with wheels, which makes it easy to move.

Its weight! Holy man, it gets to be quite a pain in the ass when you and your bandmates have to drag around this 80 pound monster up and down stairs, ect. (it says 80 in the catologue, i swear it feels more like 100) Luckily it comes with side handles, which does make it easier. Also, the tweeter hisses when you have it up at a high volume, but when you are playing with a band, its not noticable. Thats about it.

Construction is excellent, extremely durable. I have slammed it around so much hauling it to and from places, but there is nary a scratch in it, and still sounds awesome, exactly like the day I bought it.

This is a kick-ass bass amp, definitely recommended for someone who plays in a band and does small to large gigs but doesn't want to spend $2,000 on an SVT or something like that. More than enough to make the neighbours complain.

I think everything has been said previously. Among other things, convenient XLR output for recording. Still lack a loop in and out effect. Too bad ... But we can not expect too much at that price.

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use. Plug and Play! The five positions are pre EQ to set a good beginning of his. Then everyone left to find his own sound.
Small problem, I find that having an active EQ is a shame. So you can lose power. I seen a more passive EQ, not to alter the power and can really tamper with the sound.

SOUNDS

I think it is appropriate for the rock very well. A well this encompassing, exhilarating! With my Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass V and a BOSS ME-20B (used mostly as a compressor) is a pure pleasure. Ampeg made in the grain is to go! Although round properly. What a pleasure! Even with my B string, I think it holds up.

OVERALL OPINION

I have for some months. I think this amp is a good compromise to play in bars, but a bit small for larger scenes (at the same time it is not what is asked). Weight level, well let's say it weighs a dead donkey. But in death of death! Fortunately, the wheels and side handles are there, damn it helps. Following is a combo, so nothing to pay more. By branches against you and it sounds now. A real pleasure!

The value for money is good, I think that price level / power you can do better, but those who love the Ampeg will not be disappointed. Top quality!

Contrary to what was said earlier, no problem blowing tweeter level. At least for now.

Post a Hartke amp, what a change ... what fun. Nothing to do!

Full transistor amp. 220 Watts, 1 15 "and a tweeter.
Not too heavy.

I do not know if one day I will use the CD input, but I imagine that some will use it for classes or click.

Too bad there is no separate volume for the balanced output

UTILIZATION

I already own an SVT 3 pro and an ampeg cabinet that I use in Isovent Festival. I'm a fan of the brand. I was looking for a more portable for club dates while keeping its ampeg. Well it's done! The 220 watts is really there and defend themselves very well against two guitars

SOUNDS

There are quite easily the typical sound ampeg. Vintage instruments (Rickenbacker, Fender Precision ...) will be thrilled. For active basses, I do not decide, I have not had the opportunity to try on this amp. This amp sounds best when it is widened slightly in the medium (Setting 2). on the other hand when you boost the mids and when playing at high volume tweeter tends to slightly vibrate. But honestly this setting is not really in good taste and not like the ampeg sound.

OVERALL OPINION

A best buy: Power, His ampeg, Transportability at a decent price
I have already made eight concerts with the beast and I have adopted.
I tried the Ashdown because they are too small to high power amplifiers, but they do not play in the same playground ....

Amp types: transistor.
powers?: 200w I think.
SETTING: classical

UTILIZATION

Configuration: very simple we get the sound quickly.
Manual: I do not know but I think that we need a manual on this type of apareil

SOUNDS

No

OVERALL OPINION

Well here we are.
I'm going to say may shock but the truth can mal.donc if you do not see clearly through ampeg what follows might hurt. for those who search for the sound input to their portfolio then lend attention.je cheek heavy metal style of Primal Fear and companies so it goes in I stack two of the first bass is mounted on a head Berhinger bx 450w and the other a peavey head firebass, I had the great opportunity to test this ampeg combos and I peus tell you that if you buy a 450w head Berhinger bx with simple box berhinger600w in a 15 inch you will get a sound pressure peus what combos (it's not the jokes) and with more power but the price will be not the same as in ampeg they dare sell a ca 1000euros Behring in the same +-400euros for the account and made Behring is the stuff easily transportable . I am not disappointed by Behring because I ca not afford expensive and spit I get the sound I veus with a good finish equalizer.pout NO I will not because ampeg c'st too expensive for what they offer

- Transistor
- 220watts
- 3-band EQ + button style
- + Intgr tuner mute button (very handy)
- Wheels, grips and super ultra tough
- XLR (gnial to register)

AIM I can be a little more of buttons for EQ (parametric or bands like history a little more sculpting mediums) ...

UTILIZATION

Using very simple, so good, the sound is top

SOUNDS

I really t bluff by the depth of her! my bass with EMG active team, ca sends weaned! the EQ is quite effective, and "style" can further refine SETTINGS so that you can really play with any.

about the problems of volume levels too low to repochs often ampeg combos, I think the diffrence is felt when one connects between the active: the diffrence volume is quite obvious, nanmoins, the sound obtained is rich enough to faufiller through everything, and ultimately mean really low, even without meter REALLY hard.

OVERALL OPINION

I'm really not dcu by this purchase, and everyone is really happy to profit by repeating! the 220watts are feeling well, and the EQ is effective. The XLR output can record directly to the preamp which is super handy when you have not the necessary gear the sound. Compared to the Competition, there will probably a bit more powerful for the same price but the quality is good payroll will say it ^ ^

- Transistor
- 220watts
- 3 Band EQ + button style
- + Intgr tuner mute button (very handy)
- Wheels, handles and super ultra beefy

I may be liked to have some more buttons for EQ ...

UTILIZATION

Using very simple, nothing wrong, the sound is top

SOUNDS

I t really bluff by the depth of sound! my bass with active EMG team, AC sends weaned! EQ is quite effective, and "style" can further refine the set-up this fact that we can really play with everything.

concerning the problems of low volume levels too often to repochs ampeg combos, I think the difference is felt when one connects between the active: the difference in volume is fairly obvious, nevertheless have the sound produced is rich enough to tack it through everything else, and ultimately mean really low, even truly possible without meter box.

OVERALL OPINION

I'm really not dcu by this purchase, and everyone is really happy to enjoy them again! the 220watts themselves be felt, and the EQ is effective. Compartment with the competition, there will probably a bit more powerful for the same price but good quality is paid will say it ^ ^

220 w, but not worth the 100w from my old Fender ... (And more Made in China, I doubt it lasts so long).
I had to remove the wheels, it was vibrating! Rest handy side handles.

UTILIZATION

EQUALIZERS the handy pre selected: 5 positions (1: very rock'n'roll (but completely suppressed acute). 2: my favorite if you do not play the G string too. 3: flat. 4: The one I use all the Time: Versatile provided to mount the bass, treble and lower midrange. 5: jazzy)

SOUNDS

For pure Rock, I prefer my old Fender (BXR), but for everything else its Ampeg bravo! What grain!
And with that we can at least Slap!

OVERALL OPINION

I've had it three months. I tried many other brands but I fell in love with this particular sound.
We feel it will not be eternal, but in the meantime, I'm fine and enjoy!
I remake that choice without hesitation.
