Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this amp despite there being no reviews, I think it is a relatively new product from Behringer. Overall, for $180, a 300 W amp with the features that this amp has is a steal. I play in a band (heavy metal) and have to get loud enough to compete with a ENGL 100W amp and a 150W Line6 amp plugged into a 4x12 Mesa cab, plus I ned to cut through the drums and vocals. The fact this my set up cuts through the HIGH end equipment that cost exponentially more than my gear is remarkable. I have a custom made P-bass (mohagany body, maple neck and GFS pickups, 4 strings tuned to Drop C) and a custom 1x18 cab with a tweeter at 8ohm resistance. I use a Digitech BP200 multi-effects pedal as a preamp. I have no issue cutting through and with the input and master volume at 5, it vibrates the house and I need to play with earplugs. I was previously using a 2x12 100W guitar amp for my bass. I was missing low end and I had to crank the volume so loud that the amp cab started rattling. I am very happy with this amp. Features that are great: Class D technology- ultra clean with a frequency range of 20 Hz to 20kHz, you can plug a bass or guitar into it and it sounds great. Looking online, a lot of the old school tube amp guys are getting into Class D because it is so clean. It doesn't require much power and has not gotten hot yet, despite the fact that I push it pretty hard for up to 4 hours straight. It only weighs 7 lbs, which is great since hauling around heavy equipment every week is annoying. The guitar amp I was using is 50 lbs. Ultrabass function - some people may not like this but I have been using it when playing higher notes in some songs, sounds awesome when bass is playing notes at two octaves, hitting the same notes as lead guitar. 7 band Graphic Equalizer with FBQ response - Just a great function to have to dial in your sound, most amps <$500 have three band EQ. Distortion - Not something I use regularly since bass doesn't typically mix well with distortion except when playing higher notes, but the distortion sound on this amp is pretty good . It isn't very aggressive, when I plug my six string into it, its a moderate distortion. It is not a tube overdrive, bluesy or heavy metal distortion but I do like the distortion sound. Most <$500 bass amps don't have a distortion feature. Line in Gain- Great to have to dial in input levels depending if you have active or passive pickups. Footswitch - great to have a stomp pedal to activate ultrabass and switch between clean/distortion. Music in, headphones out - haven't used these features yet since I can do it with the BP200 but they are great features to have. Overall, this amp has all the basic bells and whistles noted above, most bass amps don't have fancy multi effects you can find integrated with guitar amps such as the Line6 Spider series. It gets very loud and is a really good price. I have had it for over a month and pushed it hard and have no issues yet. The fact that there is a two year warranty on it is also great. I can dial in my sound easily, and right now i have 3 bass settings on my BP200 for trebly/twangy sound, deep bass sound, and a light chorus for bass tapping. I usually fingerpick but it still sounds great using a plectrum or slapping. Dislikes: There is a small, loose piece of platic in the enclosure, I could open it up and take it out but it doesnt affect the function of the amp. It is just something that shouldn't be there. Plastic Enclosure - It is not really an issue but a steel or aluminum construction would be cool. There is a plastic ridge on the bottom instead of feet, which makes it vibrate and move on my cab because it is a wood construction, but i remedy this with a thin rubber mat. Best Buy had the best price on this amp, only comparing with Amazon but it had a longer warranty, and if I ever have any issues I can just go to the store instead of dealing with customer service over the phone and having to ship it. I did extensive reasearch online looking for an amp that fit my budget, and the BXD3000H was the best bang for my buck by far. I havent heard many bass amps, so I can't compare it to another amp but I don't really care to because this amp has the sound, output and versatility that I wanted.
