It's a bit of a bummer because I don't change manufacturers often (Trace/Ampeg for years) so the Kilo was the one that was going to make me change! Well unfortunately not now, I'm going to source a USA made SVT 3 or 4 pro and cab. Pity! |
a usa head is fine (the newer ones are also fine and every bit as well made imho), but i'd advise proceeding with caution when buying a usa ampeg cab. the cabs they made from 98-05 were either made with osb, and from 00-05 they had dark sounding speakers with very little top end. the newer cabs sound a lot better. you could go with an american cab made before 98, but most of those 810's from before handle only 400w. they sound great, but if you're looking to crank a 4 pro into one really loud, you're better off with the higher power handling.
