    To modify or not modify…

    OK, I have a 1963 Ampeg Portaflex B 15 N. There is an external out on the back of the amp but when I try to use it, it defeats the speaker. Is there a modification that will allow me to use the external out and the speaker the same time? And, would it hurt the value of the amp to modify it in...

    1964 Ampeg B-15NC Thoughts

    Hey folks I'm considering swapping my super clean 1966 Ampeg B-15N for a 1964 B-15NC. I've always wanted a double baffle cab which was my initial motivation for doing the swap but now I'm learning that the 1964 circuit might be the most desirable one to get. Why is that? Is it because it's a...

    Ampeg PF500, two SVT-210AV ?connection?

    Hey, I was just wondering how to connect an Ampeg Portaflex 500 with two 210AVs? (Amp has 4ohms, cabs each 8ohms) Would Amp/out - Cab1/in - Cab1/out - Cab2/in be correct? Is this still parallel although it seems series? :rolleyes: Is this the way to go? Thanks

    Ampeg Portaflex 500 vs Ashdown ABM 300 (evo IV)

From what I’ve heard in videos (and lets be honest, how much can you really tell from those videos anyway) they sound really good, but without a doubt I’d still have to try...

    Ampeg Portaflex 500 head vs Fender Rumble 800 head

    This is comparing these two heads. Reason being is they are both in the same price bracket. I like the controls better on the ampeg, and it’s actually cheaper, but how do they vary in power, sound quality, the amps ‘colour’, build quality and versatility? I love rumbles and I love the mid...

    Ampeg PortaFlex 500 and Avatar 2-10 -- what to expect

    I'm playing in a blues band competition and that's the mandatory supplied backline. Ampeg is not really my preferred tone but I expect I'll have enough EQ on the pedalboard to compensate. Organizer assures the 2-10 is 'easily adequate for the room' but I am skeptical it will respond well to my...
