Rogue Review: RB-120BT

History:

Purchase: i just bought it on Musiciansfriend.com 2 days ago! the shipping was incredibly fast. And I bought it for 200, just in time to watch a 30 dollar price hike in the catalog.

What I Like About This Rogue RB-120BT: I love the sound. It is loud, deep, clear, with none of the stigma that usually come with a cheaper amp. It thumps, it slaps, it does anything. The semi-parametric eq is good, but since I usually just scoop for my sound, I'm kind of at a loss as for what to do with the other knob.

What I Do NOT Like About The Rogue RB-120BT: It is very heavy, weighing in at 64 pounds, and could have benifitted greatly from wheels. Also, it has no manual, no anything. Just a powercord and the amp.It is also built crappily, as I will explain.

Rogue RB-120BT Quality Rating: The construction, on the other hand, just sucks. When I opened it up, to my horror, there was a giant crack separating a vertical piece of plywood from the sides of the cab. I have since fixed this with a drill, but I am still very careful of sitting or standing on it like I usually do with bass amps.

Review Summary: Great sound. Period. For 200 dollars, you can not get anything better sounding. However, its construction is horrible. I warn you, be careful with it. But on the whole, it is good.

Rating of this Rogue product: 4
