Ampeg 450H & 200T

[Pow_22]

Hi,
As youve probably seen by my for sale ads im looking to get myself a new Ampeg set up. Im intrested in both these heads but the only thing putting me off are the reviews and particular notes to its power. I play in a 5 peice rock band and certainly need power against their Engl and MArshall stacks. The last amp i had that really cut the mustard (i shoulda kept) was the Hartke HA5500 (500w). Ive not used the Ashdown in this band as we have our own studion with a live in 810 Marshall cab and a peavey head. The reviews for the 450 ive read all comment on the lack of volume, some even saying they believed it was only putting about 200w at through a 4ohm cab!

My plan (whichever head i get) would be to hook it up through a 410 HLF cab. I know theres a 450h for sale in the forum at the mo but im just wondering i any users on here can comment on the volume of these things and if anyone else finds them 'lacking'

I have the 350H, and it's not as loud as I'd like, but it's definitely loud enough.
Would recommend using it in a 4 ohm setup only though so that you get the full output.

I used to use the 450H and 410 hlf in a 5 piece hardcore punk band against 2 guitarists with 5150's - Volume was never an issue.
Had to push the amp a little bit, but there was pleanty of headroom left.

It sounds really nice through the 410hlf cab , one of the best cabs I have owned.

But I would agree with the above - you need a 4ohm cab, so the hlf would be perfect.
