MGR/Jeremy « Behringer BX1200 »
Published on 11/02/03 at 15:00I purchased this amp for $249 through Guitar Center. I had read a few reviews and heard good things about this amp. And I needed an upgrade from my 30 watt SWR LA8.
This amp is amazing! The quality, construction, features and sound are incredible! 2 channels, 120 watts, shape filter (DIALS IN ANY SOUND YOU WANT), Ultrabass function (really adds growl when playing high in the fretboard), 4 band EQ, input/output functions for recording purposes, adding effects, etc., XLR connections for mixing consoles, and a dual footswitch! The footpedal comes in handy for switching channels and add/remove Ultrabass. Also, you can use this as a tilt-back cabinet or standing straight up.
If I had to cast one dispersion on the unit, it's this; the user manual came in 20 languages... except English. No big deal though, you can go to Behringers website and download the English version.
This thing is built like a German tank! All knobs very heavy duty, top handle is VERY sturdy (you'll need it, this thing weighs about 40 lbs), carpet is quality, and the metal grate covering the aluminum cone speaker is very thick.
How can they sell it for such a reasonable price?! The sound is outstanding! Plenty loud, neighbors were complaining after only about 10 minutes.
I played a Gallien Krueger 12 inch combo, 15 inch combo, Ampeg BA115 combo, Peaveys, etc before deciding on this amp. I've tried ever bass combo imagineable before buying this. The BX1200 smokes 'em all!!!
