A straight forward, all-tube powerhouse.

The B-52 AT-112 60-Watt 1x12" Tube Combo amp's foundation is outstanding tone, versatility and power. Each channel - clean and overdrive - has its own set of gain, treble, mid and bass equalization controls for maximum flexibility. The clean channel offers a broad palette of classic and modern tones. The overdrive channel features a wide range of tones ranging from bluesy grit to all out metallic shred. The contour control scoops the all important mids, effectively producing the ultimate metal tone or, when turned up, creates the warm, full bodied tones of the great classic amps. The AT-112 also features solid baltic birch construction and a two function heavy-duty footswitch.

Great Low-Budget Tube Amp

I bought this amp about a month ago and was a little skeptical based on other reviews saying that it was prone to not functioning properly, but it arrived fine, and when I plugged it in I was impressed. This amp has great clean tone with lots of headroom. You can even plug it into 1 or 2 cabinets and really rock it! The distortion is pretty good, too. The "contour" and "low res" knobs add even more control to get tons of cool tones. It even has spring reverb! The only gripes I had were that I can't get the effects loop with level controls to function properly, but maybe that's just my stupidity. Also, the amp resonates a little whenever I play an A, I'm guessing that's the reverb tank. Overall, a killer value.

Problems That can be fixed

I bought this amp at guitar center, The reason i got it so cheap is because it didn't work. I was happy to find out that the 3.5 amp fuse above the power supply was burnt out. I latter found that the amp does that a lot with 3.5 amp fuses. I switched to 5 amp, and that still keeps anything internal from getting hurt in the amp. I love this amp to death. If you drive the clean channel with any distortion it gives the nicest deep tone. If this amp's on the clean channel and it pop's a lot it is not the caps, it is something to do with the cheap Audio plug-ins. Great amp!!! If you fix all the problems. Easy easy stuff.

Sounds Good

Took delivery of this amp four days ago and gigged with it two days ago. I'm very pleased with how this thing sounds and the "contour" and "low res" knobs are great features. The clean channel has plenty of volume and stays clean with no hair on it even at a high volume.

Only downside is that the reverb does not work. The footswitch turns it on, but it's not there. I don't know to what I would attribute that but the box was a little beat up by the time it got to me. I'm confident that it is an easy fix. But overall, great amp for the money!

Great amp!

I've only had this amp for a short time so I am not exactly sure about the longevity of it, but so far I am impressed. Its basically the poor man's mesa boogie, it does not have all of the options of a mesa but its got a great rectifier tone. The clean channel is amazingly responsive and has great dynamics great for blues or anything on the lighter end of the spectrum of music. The distortion channel is great for leads however, like a mesa, it does not have a soulful lead like you would get from a marshall. The amp is voiced perfectly, my eq pedal did not do much for it; the just of it sounded about the same.

I was thrilled to find a tube amp with these features so cheap. But that all ended when I received it and plugged in. It made all kind of odd sounds that were not good. I called B52 and they said it was the preamp tubes. they sent me some replacement tubes but that made it worse so returned it and I am looking for something else.
