Behringer ULTRABASS BXD3000H Ultra-Lightweight 300 Watt 2 Channel Bass Amplifier Head with FBQ Spectrum Analyzer, Ultrabass Processor and Compressor

Pros: excellent quality pre-amp, good EQ / Compression, plenty power for small to medium size gigs, useful headphone practice features, helpful channel footswitch included, very light, low-cost - may buy second as backup / dual-amping my twin cab for slightly larger gigs. Cons (negligible): a couple of LEDs on Graphic EQ sliders are intermittent but the sliders also show the profile set, don't need the UltraBass sub-octaver, prefer the natural sound from the active dual-mic in the bass bridge

Ok.... Some of you may have heard of behringer or some of you may not... For those who have not heard good things about them read this.... This amp is probably the best value for money I've ever bought.... It's just great, the tone and power is excellent, it can be adjusted to suit and as long as you have a good speaker cab (mine is a laney 1x15 250w) it will give you hours of pleasure. Comes with a foot pedal to switch channels, the mega bass channel gives you a basic octave effect which is ok on the higher string notes, the overdrive channel adds a bit of fuzz if you want it.. The clean channel is nice and clear, no hum at all..... all I hear is the sound of the cooling fan for the electronics when I stop playing (not audible thru the loud speaker I hasten to add!!!) The input for audio device is quiet and best used with headphones... DI socket round the back is good for PA instead of dangling a mike over the speaker therefore giving you a clean sound input into the PA desk as standard... The delivery is within 3 days in the uk (tracked too!) Just need to buy a rack box to protect it in as it's light and therefore vulnerable to getting knocked or damaged if you take it out on the road, that's the only downside.

Ideal for the home. I'm using it along with an old 70's M||M 100 watt, 8 ohms cabinet and a early 80's Fender Jazz Bass. It's the first time I have bought anything of Behringer, and I think it's a great buy for its price range.

If you want an 'affordable' amp that does what it says then look no further. I have had a lot of bass amps in my years of gigging and I bought this amp as an emergency buy to get me up and running after my old Ampeg decided to blow up during a weekend of gigs and with money being tight at the time went for this Behringer and to be honest I'm glad I did I am very impressed with it, it is simply brilliant. This amp, in my opinion, can easily compete with other amps on the market and having Class D components inside makes it extremely lightweight for its size. The tones, sub harmonic feature and power output it boasts are incredible plus with the compression, anti feedback and graphic equalizer features, make this little amp a strong contender against other big name amps on the market. Well done to all at Behringer, I'll certainly be looking at more of your products in the future. Value for money? Definitely!!

I bought this as the old 80's solid state lump I used at home finally died and my stage rig is to big for home use. Blown away... good power for such a small size, very light weight and compact, nice sound, nice features (drive channel and the Ultrabass on a foot switch really kicks ass.) and runs well through a 160w 2x10. All that for that price... Damn! Hell, i'm gonna try it at down the rehearsal room through a trace Elliot 1x15 just to see if it goes all the way to 11

Needed to replace my 20yr old Peavey mkIII and after reading the other reviews on here I decided to give this a go until I could afford a more powerful amp head. Absolutely over the moon with it, top quality amp head and a really great price too. I think I may stick with this for a good while. Works great with my effects unit, and the ultrabass and distortion channels are perfect for a nice deep crunchy sound. Very pleased with this purchase.

I was so disappointed with this. It was very noisy, even with low gain. I didn't try putting noise gate on the output because the tone through it also didn't sound good in my opinion, so I returned it to the store. It probably is okay if you are just learning or practicing bass, but if you are going to record the sound or play in front of people, it doesn't sound good. I replaced it with the Laney Nexus tube bass amp studio and what a difference, no noise and awesome tones.

After using the amp for about half an hour I heard slight crackling noises. A few minutes later I heard a fizzing/hissing noise coming from inside the amp which went away when I turned it off and started again when I turned it back on. After ~5 minutes it stopped and was "normal". Sounded like the noise a capacitor makes when it fizzes, but no gas/vapour was released and I couldn't smell burning electronics or chemicals. Was probably the oil for protection during long storage just burning away off of the power stage, but I didn't open it up to check as I was pretty sure I wanted to return it after that. After a short half-hour or so break I went to turn it on and it didn't turn on. I turned it off/on and it started up but turned off after ~10 seconds of playing. Off/on and it turned off again after about a minute. Off/on one more time and it didn't have any more issues. I continued using it for a few days after and it was fine but I returned it as I was not filled with confidence that this would last much longer. Also, the FBQ spectrum analyser thing for the EQ didn't really work. Only the LED's 2nd and 3rd from the left ever lit up, and when on the EQ, half of the LED's didn't even light up. Octaver was pretty meh, sounded muddy and crap on the lower notes but was fine on the higher notes. Compressor was fine, though is more of a limiter where it reduces noise of the louder notes to allow you to boost the overall volume, but worked well enough. Crunch channel sounded pretty cool if you like that type of transistor distortion when the gain know is turned up past 3 o'clock. Shape knob for that channel was hard to figure out exactly what it did though. Had a post EQ D.I. which would have been fine for recording but not so good live. Sadly I would not recommend, though it probably would've worked for a bit longer, didn't want to risk it though so went and bought a used Peavey MiniMega. My local music shop owner said that their repair man said "Don't bring me any Bugera or Behringer products. They're a nightmare to fix" and I think I can see why. It's a shame as I own some Behringer pedals and audio interface (U-Phoria UMC 202HD) and they're pretty good.

Arrived surprising fast on Wednesday (in Hawaii) after ordering it on Sunday. Gigged with it on Saturday at a small venue with the rock band, Luna Overdrive. Fantastic. Super light, great control, plenty of power for the smallish venue with my "tiny" Ampeg 2x10 bottom. I like the integrated graphic EQ. Did not use the foot switch, but plan to at a future gig, when I need to switch on distortion. This amp will probably eliminate the need for me to have a separate effects pedal. Can stomp on distortion and/or lower frequency harmonics (I think it also adds a higher 3rd when you play higher - and seems to have a slight bit of delay 200 ms? on the ultrabass feature). You can also use left stomp switch as a mute function (set channel 1 gain to zero). I used the line out to combine with my in-ear monitor. That worked great too. This was a fantastic buy. In a few weeks, I will probably buy another one as a backup. Minor quibble/suggestion - I would prefer the low frequency feature (ultra-bass feature) to be just that - only add an octave below. Follow-up... at the second gig, it failed when I powered it up. I am returning it and will likely order another.... I am leaving the rating at 5 stars, for now, if the second one fails within 2 weeks, then...

Essais tres concluant ,n,étant pas un expert en basse ,comme on dit un musicien touche à plusieurs instruments ceci dit,fonctionne parfaitement bien sur à condition d'avoir le HP conrespondant ,blefant les basses obtenue le sons et bien rond à entendre avec le compresseur super ,moi j,ai un HP subasse 4 ohms 15 pouces 400 w génial le top essais tres tres bon .Et la pédale livrée avec yes . Je recommande à tous le pied ,mon commentaire personnel vaut ce qu'il vaut ,internaute à vous de voir faite l'essais pour le prix ,pas dessus .

Qualità/ prezzo eccezionale. Collegata ad una cassa Hartke 4 coni da 300w . Spinge forte, suono pulito e moderno, nulla da invidiare ad articoli più costosi. Fornita di un efficiente compressore ed un boost che aumenta i bassi per un suono più 'corposo' attivabile anche tramite pedale (compreso) .Ottimo l'equalizzatore. peccato per il case in plastica ma a quel prezzo ci sta. (però alleggerisce il tutto)comunque bel design moderno. Consiglio vivamente

Muy. Bueno y de buena potencia

AUGUST 2025 UPDATE - OK, now I have owned this amp for nearly 3 years, and if you are like me, then this review is better than my previous, as it has "past the test of time". Still holding up very well, and sounds just as good as it did when it first came out of the box. Plenty of punch, even when playing outdoors and small halls. I have thought about replacing it, but why, it does a very good job, and at this price point, I would have to spend many hundreds of dollars more to get something that may or may not be much better. BEHRINGER BXD300H 300 WATT BASS AMPLIFIER I read all the reviews and decided to buy this amplifier. I am writing this review after only using it a few times, but I am very impressed with the output of this compact and lightweight bass amplifier. The Ultrabass feature gives a more fuller sound, good to have when the guitar player takes a solo. Nice sturdy foot pedal in a metal casing is included with a very long cord to control Ultrabass and Channel selection. I am using it with a Carvin RL210T bass cabinet with two 10 inch 4 ohm speakers and a horn. I play in a 3 piece rock band, and during our rehearsals I have found that this amplifier has no problem keeping up, even offering more head room than I need for a large room. I see this rig doing just fine in a small club or pub. Some people complain about the fan noise, yes you can hear it, but only if your not playing, so I have no issues with that. Behringer comes through again, great amp for the money.
