Hey there.
I'm curious to hear your thoughts on the AG500 - I'm wondering why you prefer it to the DB750.

I wanted a small compact amp that has tone for days and the AG500 fit the bill. The 750 is awesome but I like solid state heads AND the AG500 only weighs 18lbs (the 750 is 43lbs). I find that 500 watts is a good amount of power for any gig I do. I just can't say enough about how simple and "clean" the head is. I get my tones from my basses and I want a amp to just "amplify" my sound, the AG500 is perfect for me.

you can't go wrong with either head!

best

Thanks for the recommendation. They're hard to find in Australia, but I ended up picking one up second hand on the forums here.

Sweet amp. I cant get over how quiet it is when idling. My Mac laptop is louder!

I played a dual channel in the stores here (RRP $2200!) and thought the saturated channel was a bit take_it_or_leave_it. Better to get the SC and put some overdrive valves in the loop if I really want dirt. (EHX TubeEQ?)

Damn fine piece of hardware. Cheers.
