Members Hotrod Lincoln Posted March 19, 2010 Members Share Posted March 19, 2010 how does it compare with other 15 watt tube amps in it's price range (HT-5, AC15, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tidal Rhythm Posted March 19, 2010 Members Share Posted March 19, 2010 I have one (so perhaps I'm biased) but I think it's the best bang-for-your-buck amp out there. There aren't many other tube amps in that price range to begin with, and the few other ones I did try I didn't like nearly as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rokn4jc Posted March 19, 2010 Members Share Posted March 19, 2010 I have the BH5-H (5W smaller brother). It is a well made, easy to mod amp, that sounds very good. A little noisy, though I have read you can correct a lot of that by simply re-arranging the wires.I tried out a BH15 and it sounded very similar to the BH5. If you dig old Marshall plexi type tones, you should like it, it cops that vibe very well. I put better tubes in mine and run it through a 2x12 w/ Celestion V30's. I am happy with it, and it allows me to get cranked tones at reasonable volumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hubert Stumblin Posted March 19, 2010 Members Share Posted March 19, 2010 I'm curious about this amp, too. It got a great review in GP mag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Deadbeat Son Posted March 19, 2010 Members Share Posted March 19, 2010 Nothing wrong with a "glorified Crate". I love mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
