I'm about to pull the trigger on an Ampeg PF500 head, and need to figure out which cab to get with it...
I'd prefer to only hear from people who have actually used more than one of the cabs in question, but am open to all opinions. I'm looking for that classic B-15 sound, but at gig-able volume levels. I play in a couple of groups, and in the larger one, I play with two guitars using Marshall 100 watt over 412 stacks, a keyboard using a 320 watt Roland, and a drummer. Okay, we have vocals, too. No FOH support. We mostly play blues, Motown, and classic rock.

Both 410HLFs are louder, but lower then what a B-15 put out... I think the SVT410HE is closer then either 410HLF...

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2005 Location: Iowa | | | I agree with the PF115, but I would suggest perhaps a 2x15 set up to hang with your two guitarists 100w stacks and keyboards, without PA support. Better to have more than you need than not enough, just my .02. |
