Looking for a workhorse head that delivers massive low-end without the boutique price tag? The Crate B200XL is a punchy, reliable 200-watt solid-state bass amplifier designed to handle everything from studio rehearsals to energetic live gigs. Proudly made in the USA by SLM (the power behind Ampeg), this head is an absolute "warhorse" known for its warm, remarkably fat tone. The photos in this ad are of the actual head you will be getting and as you can see it is in good condition. We have also tested it and everything on it works as it should. 

Sculpt Your Sonic Signature
The B200XL gives you total control over your sound. With a 7-band graphic EQ, you can precisely tailor your frequency response—boost the mids for cutting through a mix, or scoop them for deep, modern reggae and funk tones. Further define your sound with dedicated Hi and Lo boost switches and the intuitive "Pre-Shape" control, allowing you to go from smooth jazz to gritty rock in seconds.

Gig-Ready Features, Built to Last

  • 200 Watts @ 4 Ohms: Plenty of headroom to rattle the walls, especially when paired with a 4x10 or 2x15 cab.
  • Built-in Limiter: Protects your speakers and keeps your sound clean, even when pushing the master volume.
  • Front Panel Flexibility: Featuring an effects loop, a balanced XLR output for direct recording or PA connection, and a headphone jack for silent practice.
  • Simple & Reliable: Single-channel simplicity means less troubleshooting and more playing.

Whether you are a budget-conscious gigging musician or looking for a powerful practice amp, the Crate B200XL delivers high-volume performance and warm, punchy tone.
