| | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2008 Location: West Chester, PA | | | I just saw it listed on the Ampeg site when I was poking around the Portaflex page. I just bought a PF350 about 3 weeks ago and I do love my PF 350 but 800 watts is tempting!
Seems like a more powerful version of the PF500?

Just kidding, my PF-500 has been rock solid and sounds awesome. This extra headroom will be killer I bet. |

| | | | This is cool. So I guess it's the same amp as the PF-500 but more watts. I Love my 500

Less than a pound heavier than the PF500, nice. From the specs, it looks like the same front end as the 500.

| | | | Instead of fixing the PF-500 they will probably dump it.
This being the fixed version with more power on the side.

Okay enough playing with fire today!
