ibid: Ampeg SVT210AV vs. PF-112

Nope. No prior reference to reference. Unless you're a Social/Communist.
Hope you do not bid us adieu, and you are trying to find out how to spell it correctly before finishing your message.
adverbWhat the hell does Ibid mean Will?
- in the same source (used to save space in textual references to a quoted work that has been mentioned in a previous reference).
Whichever one has more ibid's in it's spec sheet.
Alaska, unfortunately you're not scribing this from the Combo Club where you wouldn't be "hilariously" insulted for liking a certain brand. I don't believe it's the gentleman's favorite amp maker, but continue looking for the replies that'll look to help you and not make you feel like you're doing something wrong.
As for me, I have no experience with the 112, but I owned the 210 cab for a bit and even though it's a tad light in the bottom (of which you can add bass tone to taste), it's all Ampeg with great mids and smooth highs. My earsr heard tight bass and perfect for low to medium rehearsals and gigs. It's also an easy schlep due to it's light weight. There are some great examples of its sound on TheTube.

Thank you @iagtrplyr . As far as hilarious responses, that's on them. I'm a seasoned player of 40 plus years probably much like yourself. I filter the junk out and move on, it doesn't bother me.
Thank you for your kind response. I'm still torn on whether I want a tight SVT mini sound or a thick bottomy Portaflex sound. I might hold off until I travel to Anchorage where there's a couple music stores where I can try them out. Thanks again!
I own a pair of the 210AV's, selected them over the PF-210 for a bunch of reasons, partly tone, partly weight, partly I wanted to easily elevate some cones up by ear level. A couple years ago touring I played through a 350/112 setup, it was offered, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Not my tone, not unpleasant, just not my wheelhouse. I also felt the combination was anemic, but that's almost certainly because it was massaging my calves and not my ears...
Ah, a seasoned veteran, well I've told you my experience, don't let me keep you from warming up the car...

Yes, I know, not the strict definition, but like the jazz folks say, "Just fake it."

Nevertheless, thank you much for your kind answer. I really am steering towards the mini SVT, I've used various sealed Amepgs over the years and I think I like the idea of adding a second 210 later down the road-- say Christmastime, when wife asks for gift hints...
P.S. only way out of Sitka is by plane or boat. So we don't have the luxury of just hopping out of town. Still, beautiful little place we live in..
Fake it till ya make it! LOL
Sad? Au contraire! A PF350 and 210AV makes a great portable small rig. Add another 210AV for bigger rooms.That's so sad.
The results are compliments on the tone and call backs for more gigs.
