tc electronic BAM200 Reviews

Does exactly what you need

Very solid little amp, has a pretty decent sound but can get pretty noisy. It's nice and loud, and the size of it makes it incredibly convenient for the average gigging musician. You could definitely find something with more bells and whistles higher up the price chain, but if you're looking for something inexpensive and practical, you can't go wrong with this, highly recommend

Great little amp for the price

Currently using it with a TC electronic BC208 Bass Cab. Perfect combination.

Best amp to carry around

I have bought this amp to carry it to any small gigs I have. I have other amp but they are heavy and not ideal to bring them to any gig or practice room. With Bam200 I simply take it on my pocket or gig pocket and I am good to go. It is powerful enough to drive up to 200W cabs. I pair it with a Phil Jones usually and I am really about the sound and the weight!

Pro:

- light and easy to carry around

- simple interface but all you need to play bass

- the tone is decent, is better than any combo I have ever tried (I cannot complain about the tone due to its size/price/etc)

- the construction is very sturdy and I like the look

- it has headphones input

In regards of cons I cannot say anything since I know that such a small amp cannot have that many features and I have no hardware or any issue with the amp. It is really smart made, I am a fan of TC electronic products and I am really happy about this. The price is really good, less than most of the bass DI pedals and it is an amp actually which is far more useful that just a DI.

If this would be stolen from me I would definitely buy another one. Actually I would buy another one to have it just in case!

Amazing tiny amplifier!

I've been using this amp for almost 6 moths now in different situations. From heavy rehearsals to stages and with a sort of different cabinets. This amp is execelent for its size and price. Really amazing. I use a New York 121 with this and they shine together. It is a perfect backup amp in larger situations. Sure it doesn't handle well the deep bass of a big cabinet, but this amp was not designed to do that.

If you buy it to use with a small cab, up to 2x10, you won't regret it

Impressive amp for modest price

Bought this with a BC208 cab as an alternative rig to use for smaller gigs to save me hauling two big flightcases around the country. I can pick the amp and cabinet up with one hand, winner! and it sounds pretty good. Not quite the power and grunt of my Trace touring rig as you would expect but for smaller gigs it has plenty enough poke. Very impressed with this amp and cab and totally recommend it.

great for its size

I tried the Bam200 with SWR Sr 6x10, EBS 112 and Eden EX-112 8 Ohms,

It sounds great with everything but with the EBS neo 112 it was extremely clean with brilliant sound.

I don't know yet if I can use it in some live show, but I think it can cover a small room. I recommend it

Hugely Impressed!

As a user of a TC BG250 210 combo I was expecting a quality product, however, this little amp is better than expected.

I wanted the flexibility of amp head and separate cabs due to playing in many different sized venues.

I used this for the first time at the weekend with a 4 piece band (Drums, 2x Guitar and Bass) and it performed brilliantly.

I ran it with 2x BC208 cabs and they kept up with the live drummer and 2 guitars without being put through the PA system. Tone was good and cut through the mix with clear mids. Bandmates were surprised at the volume and clarity offered by this rig and the small footprint also went down well.

It's really easy to use with the controls being clear, simple and effective. The tone controls enable everything from reggae dub tone to bright slap sounds and everything inbetween.

Be warned though, the manual describes the signal LED as a clip warning. This is not the case. When lit green it simply confirms a signal, when lit red its a clip warning that gain should be reduced.

Overall I would recommend this product to any level of bass player be it as your go to amp or as an effective spare you can keep in your gig bag.
