I got this amp about 3 months ago and am loving it. I played through every amp they had at GC and fell in love with the BA115. Later I found out they had a BA115T and before I even played through it I ordered it. It showed up a few weeks later and sounded awesome. It an all tubed preamp, 100watts with a 15in speaker. It has 5 tone controls: 1. bassey 2. bassey/jazzy 3. flat (you do the eqing) 4. mids and highs 5. ALOT of highs and some mids. It has a 3 band eq lows, mids and highs. headphone out, pa out, 2 inputs one for passive and 1 for active pickups, it also has the option to tilt back. all in all its an awesome amp, I play a warwick thumb 6 string through it and it growls like crazy. Its plenty loud to play in a small gig and is extremly flexible in tone control. I can go from really smooth bassey jazz to that nasty snarling warwick tone I love oh so much. If you in the market for an amp I would suggest giving this a try.

the tweeter does hiss a little, but when this amp is cranked you dont notice it, also since its a tilt back make sure you dont knock it over :P
