indiegrungesound Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 (edited) This is probably in the wrong section, but I feel I had to post this. I purchased an Ampeg PF-350 last year as a back up to my Hartke LH500,but last night was the first time it's been used on a live stage. My band "Twisted Machines" played Dry Bar in Manchester, and the Ampeg went through the headline band's Laney Richter stack (4 x 10" & 1 x 15") with the amp's DI going to the PA. I was a little worried that I would be underpowered before the show-largely due the fact the amp wasn't the bigger and more popular PF-500. However, as soon as I started playing, I had nothing to worry about! This head loves a full stack. I got a good mid-range growl out of it, so I'll probably be using it a lot more often now! Anyone else have a PF-350? Edited November 25, 2012 by indiegrungesound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sykilz Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Thanks for posting this,was thinking of getting one for rehearsals and smaller gigs to go through a Warwick 4 ohm 4x10,in a loud hard rock band,wasn`t sure it would cut the mustard,sounds like may be worth a shot!

indiegrungesound Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 Glad I could be of some help Sykilz! With the cab & bass you're using, you should get a good sound out of it! I should mention though that the DI probably helped with the live sound, so I don't know how much tweaking you'll need to do with in a rehearsal setting. The Active/Passive button also takes a lot off the output, so you'll need to change your gain, EQ & volume settings accordingly if you have to switch between active & passive basses a lot when you play.

sykilz Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Was just really wanting something nice and light ( weight wise) so I don`t have to lug the Peavey to every practice,it sounds great but it`s in a wooden rack thing and weighs a ton!!! Also love the simple EQ on those Ampegs,just a few rotary dials is my idea of heaven!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indiegrungesound Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 It weighs all of 8 lbs. Pop it in a decent laptop bag or rucksack/backpack & away you go! Hope it works well for your rig! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnalogBomb Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I had a similar worry with my TC BH250 - but I don't know why. I couldn't even get the master past 12 O'Clock. I think for me, I'm used to massive, heavy gear - so it's a bit psychological! I do love it though, fits in a small carry case and in my rucksack!
