Good Value

I moved my main amp to another facility, and I needed another amp just for home practice. I honestly wasn't expecting much out of this amplifier, but for the money, it is actually pretty great.
Obviously, it isn't a Glockenklang or a GRBass, but I have absolutely no complaints using this amp. The sound is decently clear, It has all of the features that you might need.
If this bass was more expensive, I'd be a lot more picky, but hey, this is a bang for the buck.

Very powerful, can easily handle rehearsals and small gigs. Solid construction. The compressor works decently, while the d. I. Out option is a life saver in some occasions as you can send the signal straight to the console (saved my butt when the stage was very small, and i voluntarily played off stage - this option however, cancels the speaker of the amplifier). Surely far from a perfect amplifier, but a perfect steal for this price.

Decent but barely keeps with louder drummer
JurajM 29.05.2025
Evidently for its price it's a great amp for rehearsals. Although you should keep in mind that this amp is actually only 40w by itself, so it doesn't produce that punch, especially if playing heavier genres. It can barely keep up with a louder drummer.

The high end is actually pretty decent - defined and crisp, but when cranking the volume low end stays the same. That's something you'd expect from a 40w amp.

Still not sure if I'll get an additional speaker box to run the amp on 80w, or if I'll just buy a stronger amp.

Value for money

If you need a cheap loud amp to play with a band I totally recommend it. The sound quality isn't the best so if you're playing alone you should probably get something different.

great budget combo

Had troubles with delivery it took about 1 week, amp came damaged but only visualy still works. Sounds great and it is plenty loud to use with a band. That celestion is great, plus comppreseor works wonders.

A lot of power and low end for the price
AntonioCTD 15.01.2021
It's good!
There are good powerful tones on this thing, can't ask anymore for the price.
A bit heavy...

The best for the price
Jopo2424 24.01.2023
Super affordable, but stands up well next to amps in higher price brackets. Nice features such as compression and extra boost, lots of options from the EQ too. Have used it in my studio recording and gigging, does the job for both.

Good amp I mainly use for rehearsals but have used it for a couple of small gigs, lots of punch and good sounding bass notes.
