AMPEG - B5R

Straight-ahead power and tone that let you rock like a world class act - even before the royalty checks roll in. When you're ready to BE a player, crank out the powerful textured sound that gets you there.

The 500-watt B-5R is designed to take the B-Series premise one step further. Not only great, plug-and-play sound for the clean channel, but channel switch or blend in an awesome overdrive sound. The integral variable Octave doubler expands your playing horizons for special effects or tone extension.
