| I have one. It's a ported cab, has a tweeter with a 3-position switch (off, halfway up, all the way up) and it sounds pretty much like you'd expect an Ampeg to sound: round, clean in an organic way, can sound dirty if you want it to, its got a certain "character" that is quite pleasing if thats the kind of sound you like.
Being a 2x10, it's not a beast like the 410 HLF and 8x10. Its 8 ohms and handles 200 watts so it makes a good cab to beef up a lower-powered combo or to pair up with smaller heads that deliver less than 200 watts at 8ohms, like the Micro VR, Walkabout, GK 400 RB and the like. I'm running it with an old GK 400RB and, if your band/project isn't too loud, it makes a great rig for local gigging in small-ish places with no PA support or medium-places with more PA support.
I don't know if this is part of the "Ampeg sound" or just due to the fact that theoretically its not designed to be a standalone, but at the volume levels of a loud band or a loud drummer, the cab can start to sound a bit "squishy", for lack of a better word. I may eventually add a second cab at some point for my louder gigs.
Overall a good cab and a worthy purchase if the price is right (paid mine $250 CAN), but if you're planning on having walls of low-end, make sure you've got a second cab to go with it or look into something more powerful overall. Hope this helps. |
