Ampeg B2RE Head Customer Review

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
a great buy for the starving musician who does not have $1200 for a head.
Sound
bass, mid and treble with a 9 band eq allows you to find any tone you like. plenty of power for many cabinet combos...4 tens, 2 tens and a15
Features
the limiter is a nice feature. eq on off button is cool. wish it had a tuner out
Ease of Use
controls are kept simple. this is an advantage for someone who does not understand crossovers, frequency and slope. very easy to find any tone. turn the amp on, make a few adjustments on the eq and play.
Quality
pots have a tight feel. tough case. all screws were tight
Value
power and tone for under $600
Manufacturer Support
who needs support if you never have to use it?
The Wow Factor
product is kind of plain looking but who really needs all the led lighting and polished chrome. i buy amps based on sound.
