Ampeg BA115T

#4
I got two bunk 115T's. The first one just didn't turn on. And the second one had a bad farting/hissing noise to it (like the speaker was blown or something). Not sure if I was just destined to not get that amp or what. I ended up getting a Rumble 100.

I just returned a Ampeg BA210SP for a BA115HPT and I'm already contemplating returning this one. The 210's problem was that quite a few of it's onboard effects weren't working. So I traded it for a brand new BA115HPT and now I'm getting annoyed with this amp because the cab rattles BAD. Anything volume past 2 causes it to rattle so bad you can't even enjoy playing. I had a GK Backline 112 and it was built like a tank. I'm seriously contemplating buying a GK Backline 210. In my opinion... don't buy an Ampeg combo unless you're getting a very very big discount on it.

If you want to buy an Ampeg combo get a USED one.

They are cheaper and mostly made in the USA.

Rocket B100R has a great sound for $300 or less used, looks cool too!

I bought my BA-210SP off Craigslist for a fraction of the cost of a new one. I've owned it for 2 years now and haven't had any problems - not sure what rattles the other TBer is referring to. The combo's definitely got some punch!

i used to use a ba115....i hated it. i would suggest saving your money and buying a rig. GK stuff seems to be a little cheaper (price wise), but i think its some of the best sounding equipment. i went with the 700rbII for an amp and im never lookin back

wow a lot of bad reviews... guess i probably wont get it, which is too bad considering it's marked down nearly 50%...

can someone post some links? I couldn't find any of the used amps on craiglist.

also, If i decide to go to samash, would they let me test their amps? I've actually never been to samash (I've ordered everything online). How does that work?

i went to Guitar Center yesterday and today. I tried both the Ampeg 115 and the Rumble 100. to be honest, neither caught enough of my interest, good thing i tried them out first. However, I tried another amp, this time the Acoustic B200 (I originally thought it was an Ampeg 200). Anyhow, it was the best one out of all of them. Can someone tell me whether they prefer the Ampeg B200 or the Acoustic B200? The Guitar Center that I went to didn't have the Ampeg B200, but they had the Acoustic B200 for $350.00 and a little B20 for $120.00.
