Ampeg V4BH and SVT410HLF Deep Bass

[alvav]

Just got this setup and, after reading countless reviews, was expecting to be blown away by the lower frequency sound; I wasn't. Perhaps my expectations are too high. I wanted a sub sound that you can feel. Is there anything that I can do to round out my sound? Would adding a big driver cab help, or will it muddy things up? Thanks.

Try engaging the ultra low switch, boost the bass knob up to about 3:00, cut the mids to about 9:00/10:00, select either mid freq #2 or #3, and set the treble at noon. Crank up the master and adjust the input gain accordingly. The 410HLF cab itself goes pretty low for a 410, but it still isn't quite like a big old 2x15.

One thread on the subject is enough.

I've played that exact rig, a friend of mine has that setup. The cab is not a problem where low end is concerned. The V4BH is a little lean on the lows until you boost the bass up some in my opinion, but don't be afraid to crank it up and let it do it's thing!
