The only thing that I need to be happy

Best amp that I ever play with. Clear Punchy little Monster. And best of all it takes my Alpha Omega Ultra distortion pedal like a pro.

Great bass head

I had an old (late 70's) SVT that I loved but way to heavy. Bought this head and running it through the PF410 and the PF115 to get the 500 watts when needed. Most of the time I only use the PF410 (360 watts) love the sound. The only draw back is the PF cabinets that I choose do not have the Portaflex capability. But the head is light weight and sounds great with my RIC

I was afraid this amp would be like the svt3 I bought new many years ago. Sounded great for about two days and then kaput. I never bought another Ampeg amp after that. The factory never did fix it and would not replace it. Now I always loved the sound,but I was really pi.. about the service. Well I ordered this amp, because I know if it ain't right Sam Ash will make it right. I've been buying gear from them for years and Matt has always been first class. Now to the amp. I love it in every respect. There is no other amp at this price range that comes close. Great tone all the features of the big amps and lite weight. Just so you know , some review said the fan was noisy. Ain't so whisper quiet. Plenty of volume. Sounds great with a hartkye hydrive112 and a ampeg b115e.

excellent head! powerful & portable

As an Ampeg lover, I have to say that this Class D amp blew my brains out. y tested it at my local sam ash store and it was love at first heard... Really versatile for getting the signal that you want to record or to a mixer for live performance. the compressor is really natural and warm sounding I use with the ampeg PF 210 HE speaker cabinet and just can't get enough of it. the portaflex function it is awesome too.

Ampeg has done it again

This is a very easy to use and powerful head, there should be no problem dialing in your sound. other than a slight hiss when using the PF-115 & PF-210 cabs (turn horns down) I have nothing bad to say. this rig kick out some serious low's I use this amp with an Upright Bass and play a slap style, and whenever I played through an Ampeg I have always got a great tone. I will without a doubt put this rig through the ringer and only time will tell if this head can hold up to the job.
