Got this for the Church band and its easier to plug in to the pa not having to drag my amp

For the price, it's a pretty decent amp.

Works well in front of s solid state amp to warm the tone.

But for your average player who is playing through solid state amps anyway, this is a great addition

I was just at an Eric johnson show where the bass player lost his tube amp in the middle of a song, it took the roadies most of the song to throw a new solid state amp up for him

When it comes to guitar I'm a tube amp guy, I own 11 Mesa Boogie amps and five Marshalls, but normally I like a super powerful clean amp for my bass rig

i also have been playing through a behringer 45 watt bass amp (solid state) which is very pleasing to me, and for $149, I think it's a steal

This is an incredibly inexpensive active DI with a nice sounding pre-amp, and it's as cheap as anything.

It is NOT a substitute for a classic tube amp, but with low expectations I was really impressed with the positive sound it gave me

I have not yet explored all of the options available, but definitely some great combinations of classic amp sounds

Even though my amp is not suitable for bass and stuff,this preamp turned my amp into a beast,an amp worth thousands of dollars

It does the job; makes the sound warmer and more amp-like

You can buy better computer speakers that are capable, but they will cost about the same or actually more than a decent bass guitar practice combo amp.

You can pull this box out at a gig and go directly to the board and it sounds like you have an amp instead of just a dry guitar input

And when the battery is dead it fails to work even as a

Straight into the board, my P-Bass growls, thunders and roars just like through an SVT!

I get a much cleaner signal this way than going 1/4" direct from the passive p-bass into the preamped 1/4" instrument input on the audio interface (true in both amp modeling and bypass mode).
