Attention 810 Owners! What amp do YOU use?

[tonytheleg]

I think the title says it all. I'm curious as to what kind of power your pumping through your 8x10 cabinet, because I'm quickly getting the feeling I don't need as much power as I think so I'm curious as to what the community uses!

Thanks guys....these forums have been incredibly helpful. Seriously the best source of info for bass ever!

I dont own an 810 anymore, but I do use one on occasion. When I do I either use a 400 watt tube amp, a B1500, or an Ampeg Portaflex.

 

[Jason Wilson]

I use the SVT-CL
Love it!!

Amps I have used with Ampeg 810's: V4-B, SVT, Sunn 2000S, Fender Dual Showman and a G-K 800RB. That is (if it really makes any difference) from a 100 watt to 300 watt tube or 300 watt SS. Never had to push too hard with any of them.

Not an 8X10 but I run either an Ampeg V4BH or a Mesa 400 (non plus) into my Mesa 6X10 cab.

Ampeg SVP-PRO Preamp pushing a QSC RMX1450 power amp. In stereo...

Orange AD200B into a david eden 810, 200w is plenty.

I have 2 amps right now a 300 watt 800RB and a 1000 watt Hartke kilo. Like the Hartke, Love the 800RB

 

[coreyfyfe]

V4, SVT, SC-120, or PF-500. That's 100 - 500 watts.

Heritage SVT-CL, and before that a 69 SVT. I have used a PF350 and a V4B as well, but usually if I'm going to trot out the 810, I figure I might as well trot out the SVT.

 

[Floyd Eye]

SVT CL

Heritage 810 with an Eden 1205. Have used it with a Hartke LH 500,and Thunderfunk 550. All more than enough.

 

[Spaldo]

ABM 900 III, but i'm saving for an SVT Classic or Classic VR

I think I'm about to be laughed at: I've plugged all sorts of tube heads into an 810, anything ranging from a 5-watt VibroChamp for practicing guitar all the way up to an SVT for gigging.

[Adam Wright]

GK 1001 RB into a Heritage 810. Would like to get a V4B at some point, or possibly a VR or SVT 2.

For what it is, a value jr sounds pretty killer cranked into an 8x10. Fun for low volume rehearsals at least.

 

[Jwood]

SVT and Fender 300PRO

PF-500 for bass, or a Jet City JC20H for guitar.

The JC20H only has 8 or 16 ohm outputs though, so I only plug into the top 4x12. Sounds good nonetheless. Hmmm... I do have a power soak with a line-out I could plug into an EHX 44 Magnum for the bottom 4x12... muahahaha
