Have you ever tried this solid state head before?

I'm not a fan...

I did the EURO to US funds conversion and it comes out to over $2100 US. If this is a brand new rig then maybe, only because its an Ampeg Rig would it be worth it. I understand that it costs more to buy it in Europe. Personally if I were there, I would look at other rigs such as Marshall or Ashdown. The SvT450H head was one I bought but sold it since I found under-powered, the 410HLF was great IMO....Good luck ....

Sorry, but even though I love Ampeg, it ends at the 450H.

No way. Even brand new I wouldn't pay more than $1,200 for that rig.

The SVT 450H is cold sounding head with barely any wattage to work with. Have you ever tried it?

I liked the 350H, but no way in hell is the 450H worth that amount of money. That's insanely expensive for that rig.

In fact, I'd say it's worth less than half that. $800-$900 would still be pretty high, for me.
