When you need a portable rig with legendary Ampeg tone, look no further than the BA115. This powerful combo features a 100-Watt power section and a single 15" Ampeg speaker that can rock a small- to medium-sized venue. Just plug in and you're ready to rock!

No matter what sound you're after, the Style Control puts absolute tone at your fingertips. With five presets to choose from, and the tone-sculpting capabilities of an onboard 3-band EQ, you'll be dialed in before the drummer can finish setting up his high-hat.

The BA115's monitor-style, tilt-back design allows you to put the sound where you want it, which is especially handy when you're using the built-in DI for recording or front of house applications. Rock-solid construction and Ampeg thump to go, the BA115.

BA115

The BA115 is a perfect practice amp.

This statement can sound strange as it carries the prestigious Ampeg brand, it is rather big (15inches Speaker..).
If you search the web youâ€™ll find contrasted reviews of the BA115.. mainly because itâ€™s Ampeg name, itâ€™s very often judged as a classical Â« professional Â» amp what it is not.

Itâ€™s a practice amp (the aux RCA are a good example) and a dam good one.

You can get a real growling bass sound at apartment level (pretty low) the design is superb it\'s built like a tank.

On the drawback sides, the aux entries a pretty bad, the \"Ampeg sound\" comes mainly from the speaker so phones output is so so.. and the beast is pretty big (small apartments, forget it)

For the price, usually you get an amp that look sand sound like a toy, here Ampeg provides a real personal amp that makes your bass sound like a bass and that you can use to jam with friends (donâ€™t be fooled by the official 100W, in reality it seems closer to 75 the power is not enormous).

I use a Squier Jazz Bass Vintage Modified, and the BA115 is in the same spirit. The Squier is \"nearly\" like a real US Jazz bass but at a much much lower price, the BA115 is \"nearly\" like a real Ampeg bass amp, but at a much much lower price.

On the sound aspect, the BA115 as only one sound (but a dam good one). Itâ€™s the ragging, bassy, growling Ampeg sound. To play blues or jazz itâ€™s perfect, Iâ€™m not sure it can fit ant musical style.
