Should I go for this? It's a decent(?) upgrade from my 60 watt VOX.

Let me know what you think.

I had a B-115 about 25 years ago. It was big for a 1x15 combo, but I really liked the sound. I used it for a few years and sold it.

The original B-115 with the distortion channel was pretty good, but not competitive at the time with Acoustic nor Kustom (the two local heavy hitters in the 1x15 combo market) in the late '70s. The were reliable and sounded good, but the company didn't have a lot of success with marketing them. I'm skeptical of the 210 WRMS claim in the CL ad however. My recollection is that they were rated at 100 WRMS.

Thank you for the info. I think I'll pass on it and save for a better one.

It would have been a decent rig for $100 if the speaker was still there, but alas, not worth it.

I had one of these as my first amp.. older brother let me use it.

It.... blew up the fist time i turned it on. Later gutted it...
