Ampeg SVT Classic that looks like this?

That does not look like a real Ampeg at all to me... but I will let more Ampeg savvy folks chime in and go by what they say.
But it looks fake as ^%*@#$&#

What’s up with those casters? Not an expert, but those look undersized for any amp, let alone an svt..? Makes me wonder if it’s an actual amp or just some stage props?
Reverse image searching this amp pulls up Indonesian websites with what looks suspiciously like the same amp (and 4xsomething whizzer cab) done up to look like a Marshall JCM stack, if there was any doubt.
Here is the original image from an Indonesian website:

Probably just as good as the other foreign made ampegs.
It's simply wonderful they include a free bonus Gitar Kabel Jack in the package.

I figured it was fake especially considering the price but I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt. First fake Ampeg I have seen but it's almost like they didn't try. Nothing looks right.

- I suck, but nobody really notices
But it's also possible it's a sleeper monster that rocks loud and hard and mean.
We may never know.
