    I had it into an 8ohm ashdown 410 at practice with a blisteringly loud band and it didnt need to go past half way in a big room! But it's there if you need it. Just means you have loads of good clean headroom.

    Hi all, Selling my Ampeg SVT7 pro 1000 watt amp. Superb condition with rack ears too. This is the coveted Rev C00 with the H revision board. Great SVT sound in a lightweight 7kg package. Loads of fantastic features including the svt standard ultra hi and ultra lo. Compressor, input level and drive as well as eq. Brilliant amp. Have a read around - the real Ampeg users know just how close these can get to the svt sound and save your back! These are currently £864 at Thomman. Pick up Leyland, Lancashire. May be able to meet somewhere if not too far a drive - then I know it's been delivered safely and been transported well. Official spec: Power: 1000 Watt RMS @ 4 Ohms, 600 Watt RMS @ 8 Ohm Preamp Tube ( 1 × JJ 12AX7), Class D Amplifier Tone controls: Bass, Mid, Treble, Mid-tone Mid-tone control: 5-Position Ultra Low/High Boosts Compressor Balanced Di-Out Preamp Out Poweramp In Switchable Pre/Post EQ 0/-40 dB Ground lift Aux In Effect loop Tuner Out Foot switch Out (footswitch optional) 2x Speaker Twist Out Includes: Rack mount, Switching Power Supply Weight: 7 kg

    Hi all Managed to get hold of one of these used this week for certain gigs (overnight stays and the more rougher / lively ones etc) when we get gigging where I dont want to take my full rig. I wasnt expecting a great deal, just a decent useable sound. Well, talk about impressed! The reviews I've read kind of implied it was quite bland etc, but it really isnt. It's quite a rich sound. Using the eq as per manual and discussion it really seems to deliver. Has anyone gigged with these amps? How did you find them in the mix etc? Also, picked up a hydrive 410 for the same type of gigs. There really must be some bad info out there online - I was expecting a massive heavy cab. Some sites suggesting 35kg etc - it's nowhere near that! I'd guess it's around 25-27kg max.

    Theres another icon appeared, looks to me to be very Quilter style type eq knob, which I loved.

    Nice one Lozz! I have the rack version - love it. It may sound weird too, but I've found putting the 3 right of mid sliders near fully up gives it a real valve amp sound somehow. I need to test that in a band setting.

    Definitely tempted by the new neo cabs too.

    For me, it's the Ashdown ABM600 evo iv. So much power. So much versatility. And a nice manageable weight too. Best advice I got was spend time learning what each eq slider does, and give it a name for easy reference. Was so interesting to see that the 100hz slider induces so much more what we call 'bass' than the actual bass knob. You can make the amp sound however you want, and easily adjust the sliders for a quick on stage fix. The preshape (for me) definitely needs turning off (button IN) and then it really opens up.

    Cheers, forgot about that, thanks.

    Cheers Lozz, Fantastic amp. I've no problem at all keeping it if it doesnt sell.

    Open to offers. Delivery now possible.

    Could probably deliver/meet up if fairly local.

    There must be something in the cab or combination of head and cab though. I've used a rehersal room 8x10 and it really was great. Rubbish on it's own, but great in the mix. Sounded great with the svt3 they had. Yet the svt3 through another cab was nowhere near as impressive. The only way I can describe the cab was kind of dull but punchy. Kind of punched through, when it didnt sound like it would be able to. Theres no way I want to move one around though.

    Interesting here.... Dino explaining how ampeg classic cabs have stamped framed baskets which move with the speaker giving a much warmer sound, rather than a more defined sound.

    Hi all, Just wondering to get that classic Ampeg sound - whenever I hear it it's always the amp and cab. Never an ampeg head and another cab. When I have heard the heads separately, they just seem to miss something. Could it be the cabs have more magic ingredients in them for that classic sound?

    Literally this week I've fixed my rm500 which was rattling. It sounded like a clicking from the power supply when in straight. Pull the lead slightly away and it eased off. Drove me mad. Had a look at all the screws to see what was loose and none looked to be. But I tightened them anyway and that solved it.

    Ampeg cabs

    la bam replied to la bam's topic in Amps and Cabs

    Cheers lozz. Is there much difference to look for between the HLF series and HE etc?
  22. la bam
    The active preamp is superb. Genuinely superb. Honestly, just turning the bass dial literally feels like a supersonic bomb! The beauty though is the ability to run in either active or passive mode. All basses and situations covered.

    Ampeg cabs

    la bam posted a topic in Amps and Cabs

    Hi all, Just after opinions on Ampeg cabs. Any experiences? Ones to miss? Compact ones? Lightweight ones? There seems to be loads out there. I'll save time and say an 810 is completely out of the question.

    Really is so good looking and sounding in real life.

    The barefaced 210s are pretty much designed for flexibility rather than volume. The 4-12 ohm switch makes them amazingly flexible. Having the 4-12ohm switch means you can: 1. Use one cab at 4ohms ("louder" than using the same spec cab at 8ohm). 2. Use 2 cabs at 4ohms each - ONLY if your amp runs at 2ohm. Otherwise DONT do it. 3. Use 2 cabs at 12ohm each = 6ohm. 4. Use 3 cabs at 12ohm each = 4ohm - which is what the majority of solid state or class d will go down to. Now, if you're only going to run 2 cabs, it does get you thinking on why not just use 2 8ohm cabs? But, dont worry, x2 210s will be more than sufficient for almost any gig, but you always have the option to add a third cab that you wouldnt have if you had 8ohm cabs.
