The modern incarnation of one of the most legendary bass amps in the history of recorded music! Ampeg revived the Portaflex bass amp concept a more compact and powerful amp head with 500W of power, and a modernized 1x15” bass cabinet with improved high end response. That’s the Ampeg PF 500 bass...
Latest and greatest! Motown Acme DI, Ampeg PF50t Transformer Out and Preamp Out all going to interface. I am planning on getting a 15" Portaflex fliptop cab and want to try and make a DIY closet doghouse to mic up as well for recording.

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...
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...
With everything everyone says or might say, I'm hoping to make a stack for my new rig. What is the major difference between, or what might be issues between using any of these setups?
1x15+1x15, 2x10+1x15, 2x10+2x10
I'm thinking of using the ampeg portaflex series, for the fliptop design and...

thanks!!

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
hello all!
i’m looking for a bit of advice, I am looking for a lightweight/compact bass head to pair with my SVT410 bass cab and I have a few ideas, but have heard many positive and negative opinions on all of them, I would love some thoughts from those more familiar with this gear than I am...
So... two really great amps here, I know that much! I’ve heard demos of both on youtube but never heard either in person. 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...
Hi Folks
I've mainly been a recording guy up until now but am now looking at starting gigging at local pubs and clubs and could use a bit of advice on my rig purchase. I'll be using my P Bass (USA Standard 2013). I have a bit of a recurring back injury which can flare up now and then, so I am...
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...
Hi. So my practice amp at home is embarrassing. I found a good beat on an Ampeg PF-500 and matching 15 cab. Should I get it?
Main rig is Mesa subway 800 and full stack diesel cab. I’m in love with that. Stupid loud, even at noon, which would be the high side of where I run it. I don’t...
Up for grabs today is a minty Ampeg PF-50T head. Never gigged and it shows. 100% stock. In fact, it's never left my office. I currently have it installed on a with a PF-210HE cab.
It sounds immense but the reality is that it's totally overkill my purposes (i.e. home practice). It really...

Ended up with a PF 210. Considering grabbing a PF 500 head just for a simple easy to transport practice rig. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with them.
Hello Everyone! I do not post much in here but I would like to hear everyone’s opinion about Ampeg Portaflex 350?
I am in a tight budget so I don’t have wide option for heads and just because I really mostly play drums. I am in a Christian worship team, I play every weekend in a medium sized...
I came a crossed a portaflex and the serial number is in the range for 1965. I need to find out why the name plate that has Ampeg etched on it also has the name Walter etched on it. The etching looks to be factory. There is no one named Walter in the family history. I need to know if this is...
Bass brothers. I am looking for some insite on these amps. I am an Ampeg guy and looking to lighten up the load a bit. I play various styles, mostly rock, loud at that. Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
What Portaflex cab sounds closest to a B-15 when paired with a PF-20t?
I'm going to pick up a PF-20t for the studio and just don't know what cab to go with. My goal is to get as close to a B-15 as possible however I do like the sizing of the PF-112hlf cab. I haven't seen any reviews with...
Hi folks ... I am nothing but a gear geek so forgive my profanities :)
So I recently got an Ampeg portaflex 350w bass head and I am pondering what cabinet(s) would be a best fit. Since I am on a budget things can get complicated.
My small knowledge of bass systems tells me a Peavey 210 2x10, 400...
Near mint awesome combo w the 15 inch enclosure just not using it
Local pickup only in Columbus Ohio for now; seems like would be quite an amp to pack. If it sits I may consider as long as buyer covers
Thanks for looking !

I played a gig Saturday and had to use my PF350 (never used it before for a gig but use it all the time for practicing by myself) because my SVT3 Pro was out getting biased. Played perfectly for a three song sound check, left the amp turned on but not plugged in to my bass. The first song of the...
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...

Hey Folks -
Was looking into something ultra-light for home. I've paid my dues on my home setup. It's a PV Minx 110 from the early 90's...
I like the Ampeg PF112HLF, seems like a nice small light cab. Question is, will it play well with a PF-350? the back panel says it's good for 250w @...
I just got an AFP2 footswitch for my amp. Button 1 has a red LED while button 2 has a green LED. Button 2 is controlling the Mute function, but I would have thought the indicator for Mute would be red - the same as it is on the face of the amp.
The owner's manual states the following regarding...
I can't seem to find some info I saw in a thread here.
It gave the year of the new Portaflex heads (Edit: only the PF-500) when Ampeg resolved the issues that they had, and how to identify the fixed model by serial number.
Also, I'm not positive if it was just the PCB or some other issue...
Hi gang,
I'd like TB's assistance assembling an Ampeg Portaflex rig for my 90s cover band. We do a mix of 90s pop/rock/grunge/nostalgia that I think demands Ampeg tone. We typically play small/medium sized venues with and without front of house support. My guitarists aren't overly loud, but the...
