BTW, for $100, that BA108 is a great little amp. Useful mostly as a practice amp, but I use it on a small old timey jazz gig I do occasionally.

Do these amps do clean tones well? I'm leaning towards picking this amp up, I've tried in the store and really liked but couldn't turn in up to gig-level volumes. What I'd like to do is run this amp clean, then use a od pedal (not sure which one yet) to get some grit when I'd like some. I'm not expecting hi-fi like clean tones, but I'd like to get at least a usable one.

I would say they run pretty clean. Depending on the bass you are using and they way you eq the amp and where the compression is set it shouldn't get any dirt till past noon. I run mine with the gain around 2 o'clock and the comp barely at 9. SVT warmth, not dirty.

Ya, you can easily get clear clean tones out of it. Just don't crank the gain too hard.
