Just got my second 115 today. Damn my ears are ringing. It gets plenty loud for me and what I am gonna do with it. I cranked it up and the head preformed perfectly and didn't seem lacking in power. So maybe I got a "good one" I'll let yall know if I have any problems.

Bought one of these to get some covers made for my PF's by a neighbor.

Mine, that I got used, seems fine as well. Loving the sound alright! Even with a home-modded 210 combo-turned cab.

Hey 96, I'm waiting to see what happens to that moving pad...

Thanks!

Traynor tc-112 BUT with an Eminence 2512 II neo.... REALLY nice mid forward tone but solid down to fundamental of my B string. Mid control on the amp with this cab goes from scooped but totally usable Stingray tone to classic vintage SVT mids a little past noon... To jaco city with it cranked.

8 ohm driver so room to add another cab in the future.

I'm assuming these amps can't drive (or don't benefit from driving) 2 ohm loads?

Cheers

Gutted today - My PF500 died on me during band practice. It had been playing up ever so slightly but nothing that really concerned to point of retiring it until I had a replacement. However today it had numerous cut outs and then died completely (fault light came on by it failing to power up again when I turned it on)

Just under 5 months of use and it's dead :mad:

350 just packed it in at rehearsal. Smells like burning electronics. My second to burn up. The first after about ten minutes, this one lasted a couple months. Now I've gotta do the warranty bs again. Cranky.

As cool as the PF amps sound, if two died on me there wouldn't be a third time. I'd be moving on.

Never had an issue with the PF500 I had but traded it in cause I just liked the Genz Benz sound better.

Honestly can't believe that after all this time Ampeg hasn't got this issue sorted out yet.
