Conan Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I have one of these amp heads which I got in a trade for my Trace Elliot gear a few years ago. I know very little about it other than the fact that it sounds very good and is extremely heavy! It gives 200 watts into 8 ohms and 350 into 4. It is an all-transistor amp and I believe they were only made for a couple of years in the late 1980s. This one is (if I recall correctly!) a 1987 model. I will post some pix of it later as I am at work now, but I was just wondering if anyone has any experience of these amps or knows what it would be worth? It is in excellent condition and has recently been cleaned and serviced. All replies appreciated! Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casapete Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I used one a long time ago. Think it was the forerunner to the SVT350/450H models. Ok if not great, and maybe not the loudest amp around. Well made US built Ampeg though - would have thought it was worth around £250,maybe more? Have a look on Harmony Central, lots of opinions on there! Cheers.

Conan Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 (edited) Thanks for that! I like the tone, but I have found it a bit "quiet" compared to my Trace AH250... Very "smooth" though. Edited March 6, 2010 by Conan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basshead56 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Around mid 09 (June or July), there were about five of these going on ebay (UK one) at the same time. There were three versions of these- a very rare silver faced one. then the typical white-lined one and the blue lined one. The silver went for 230, There were two bluey´s and they both closed around 180-190 and the whitey´s went for about the same, maybe even less. (think one was 145 or thereabouts) I bid on all of them, but never bothered keeping up with the auctons. So anywhere from 150-200 I reckon would be the average price (they go for around 200 dollars on ebay.com) Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
