I've used it for bass a handful of times. It does okay for bass if you simply want to HEAR the instrument, but the tone circuit was not designed for bass. It doesn't really have the low end to cut through the mix. This is a fantastic practice amp for guitars, and the on-board effects allow for a lot of creativity in the tone. I'd say this thing can handle bass, but my advice is to buy this for guitar and buy an actual bass amp for bass. Perhaps the Orange Crush 25w bass amp, or a Hartke B300 is also a really nice option for small spaces and being on a budget.

You will kill the speaker. Bass also needs more watts than a guitar. I highly recommend a dedicated bass amp. Re keyboard you can get away with one amp for both keyboard and guitar but again a dedicated keyboard amp will give you the best sound.

Paul's reply: The bass speaker in the amp isn't really deep enough for a good bass sound. It would not work well with electronic drums. It would be plenty loud enough for an electric guitar, but I wouldn't recommend it as a bass amp. Might be better off getting a bass amp, and when you need it for guitar, turn the low range all the way down. That would be my recommendation, but using two amps would be the way to go if you can afford it.

Sure! A guitar will work with almost any bass amp and sound good...just not the other way around! Hope this helps! :)

I am sorry but I cannot answer your question. I use mine for Bass and Guitar only.

Yes. That's what I use it for. Great practice and busking amp, lets the bass player sit around the campfire with the guitarists. Very happy with it. Not gonna shake your kidneys, but has great punchy tone and goes a long time on a charge. Highly recommended.

Well it's mainly tuned for a bass guitar, although having plugged in an electric guitar it still sounds pretty good. A bass drum may cause it to rattle or destroy the speaker possibly, but I've played some pretty dub stuff (low frequencies) on mine with no ill effects. I'd say try it, but you might be better off with a dedicated keyboard amp.

I think it is, but you won't get good bass out of this amp, and it will start clipping way before is loud enough (very low gain - if you increase the input it will clip). I hooked mine up to two 100W RMS speaker boxes, but because of the lack of bass (my vintage 80W RMS Wintec 6004 put out more Bass), I hooked a 2nd amplifier (300W Sony XM-75HX) using a "Y" cable, to drive two 300W RMS 15" speakers (Boston Acoustics) just for bass. Now I use PQA3100 just for highs and medium frequencies.

Simply put, it dosent. The fender is a nice shelf nicknack to look at, and it's ok with headphones to, but its sound is pretty lacking. The Orange would be a real practice amp. Of any real micro amp to consider I would spend a little more and get a vox mini 3. Just this past year I had the chance to help run sound for Peter Furler, he used one live mic'd with a Sennheiser e609 playing his Gretch White Falcon and it sounded amazing!

Yes you can use a bass on this pedal. I practice on it with a P Bass. It's a great little practice pedal, not something I would hit the stage with though.

I bought this for someone else that actually paid me back. I play drums. From what I heard with a bass plugged in was great and could be heard. He did plug in a guitar and picked for a couple of minutes and that was it. He only uses it for bass. To some people it may look to small to produce good sound but to me it was very good - well built equipment with no bad surprises as far as a bass guitar is plugged in.

amp is only for bass and it's great. clear and good looking. hope this helps.

I wouldn't,but I am a beginner myself but it seems to be geared towards a six string although Marshall makes many a fine amp,ask someone with a bit more expirience,my brother plays bass and has always preferred fender or peavey as a small bass amp

I would say no, i blew this amp up within two weeks of light use. This is a guitar amp with bass mode don't be fooled by the description.

Any bass amp can be used for guitar, but you won't get the benefit of the higher frequencies produced by a normal guitar. And vice versa with a bass into a guitar amp. I wouldn't recommend it.

It sounds great for the price. Compared to most $99 practice amps, this one is way more versatile, and has some decent tones. Its versatility is fun to play with too.

no, I checked on the peavey site to answer it for you, it is for acoustic, electric, or bass guitar. you would need a keyboard amp. did you want something for guitar and keyboard? you would probably need a bass amp if that's the case, but guitars don't sound that good through them, and they keyboard loses some of the high/treble sound through bass amps, I used one for my guitar and keyboard years ago, both didn't sound that good. depending on what you need it for, you should get 2 smaller amps, this thing is very very loud, I would get the larger amp of the one you use more, keyboard or guitar. if it's for live shows, they can mic the amp anyway, so technically you could have a really small amp, but with a mic and p.a. system or whatever, it would be as loud as all the other instruments

I use it to play jazz and it's pretty good for that. I've also plugged a keyboard into it. I normally plug a humbucker guitar into the -15dB input. Throw a decent compressor or a tube preamp in front and it warms it up a bit but keeps a good clean tone. It's nice because I often play both bass and guitar and can get by with just one amp. The really sturdy closed back cabinet means that it's got some authority. I wouldn't use it for rock, though, as the tone wouldn't be good
