    Official Ampeg Portaflex Club

    I should mention that this is all a little nit-picky as I have been using this setup since shortly after they came out with generally pleasing results. I just feel like things could be a little better from experiences I've had playing through a B15 or an SVT, where the tone just felt easier...

    thanks, this is something I'll look into...I have had the thought that I would like to be able to notch out the more troublesome frequencies and maybe try some compression. I use passive instruments, usually some sort of P Bass, no pedals. Settings on the PF50T are something like this: Gain...

    Hey PortaFolks, I’ve been using the PF50-T with a PF112hlf for the last several years and have been fairly satisfied. Sometimes I feel like the 112 doesn’t quite have the definition of pitch that I want and sounds a little “boxy” if that makes sense. It also tends to sound a little boomy...

    HOT AMPEG NEWS! PF20T, PF50T, PF112HLF

    I'm pretty sure it's not a ground issue, as I pushed that button while hearing the hum with no effect. Also it's intermittent and i have never heard a ground hum up in that frequency.

    HOT AMPEG NEWS! PF20T, PF50T, PF112HLF

    I'm hoping someone might have some insight as to why my Pf-50t seems to have developed a high hum from the transformer/balance out. Last week I played 5 shows at 3 different venues with two basses using the transformer out into the house systems. I heard a little bit of this hum in and out...

    Not a poll, but do you prefer active or passive & why,,

    I prefer Passive these days. It makes me feel like more of a musician, if that makes sense...using my hands to affect tone rather than knobs.... Not that it isn't possible to do with an active instrument, but it is easier for me to get to know and manipulate a passive bass. in other words, i...

    HOT AMPEG NEWS! PF20T, PF50T, PF112HLF

    I just checked the gear list of the studio and I think he does have one of those "UREI 1176LN" ...I don't know anything about this stuff, but I think I'll end up bringing the Ampeg.

    Ha! I'll bring it to the session what's the difference between the preamp out and the transformer?

    HOT AMPEG NEWS! PF20T, PF50T, PF112HLF

    I just received the PF-50T and PF-112 hlf this week! I went with the 112 purely to keep the weight as low as possible. This will be the first tube amp I've owned...the tone is something special...really digging it. So far, I am really impressed with how much power this thing puts out...seems...
