Ampeg heritage series

[Zerin]

What is the comparison between the svt classic and the heritage series and is it really worth the extra money?

Paging Jimmy, is there a JimmyM around?

I could not tell you since I have never used Ampeg personally.

Don't look at me. I have never heard a Heritage rig, although I almost bought one this year until I discovered your tax refund goes way down when your kids are grown and can't be claimed as dependents anymore

I have heard that the cabs sound better, and they certainly look better, but that's all I know.

That's what I like about your replies, Jimmy - you may get way more gigs than many of us but at least you live in the real world.

This has been discussed in detail in other threads (Search!!), but the condensed version is: tolex, tubes, grill cloth are different. Heritage is built, tested, retested, and play tested by me in the good ol' USA. The smaller quantities that we build allow us to put out the best quality product possible. Tone-wise, you're not gonna be able to find any earth-shaking differences.

I would kill not to have to live there if I thought it would do any good

Search? Are you kidding? Too much work. Onay Luecay.
