Is there some sort of wiki/database for Ampeg stuff?

[Fynn]

I've noticed that there's quite a lot of products from the past, that rarely get mentioned today (probably for good reasons), but I'm a curious guy. I also keep forgetting the names of certain products and would like to have some overview (preferably sorted by years).
This might be a bit much to ask, but I would be suprised if something like this doesn't exist somewhere open to the public...

Thanks in advance

I found this Invalid Link Removed but it seems to be ridiculously incomplete.

Yeah, seems to be pretty much only the recent stuff. Still a good overview of the products from the past 5-10 years I guess

Thanks, I actually just found that right after posting this thread. I've been looking for a while and found it after scrolling quite far down on google. Seems to be all the original Ampeg documentation. Can be more or less useful, depending on how much effort they put into these.

Ampeg has all of the available legacy product manuals and schematics on their support pages. Since Yamaha took over it’s been reorganized a bit, but if the have it then it’s on there.

Manuals
Ampeg – Bass guitar amplification

Schematics
Index of /support/files

There’s also the portaflex wiki which contains a ton of info on the vintage fliptops as well as product literature and such through the 70s

I have major gaps in my knowledge, though, but thanks Admiral!

That database with the schematics is really interesting! Didn't know they would even make all of that public just like that. Maybe it's just me being used to the Apple way of doing things, where they sue the ever living crap out of everyone who even dares to use their schematics to repair something...


Thanks everybody for the help!

and humble to boot!

Regardless, you've helped me several times on Ampeg questions, glad to have you here

My God, there's just so much more than Ampeg...

Then maybe you should seek those threads out and participate in them. What does it matter to you if some of us are into Ampeg gear?

I didn't think my comment was that big of a deal (still don't)...

but thanks for the advice.

Well, you made an offensive comment, even if you don't think it was. You even started the sentence with "my god,", and if you don't think that's a bit passive aggressive, then I can't help you. This is probably the first thread I ever started on anything Ampeg related. Sorry if that bothered you...

Excellent book and good read. I own this book and often refer to it.

You say that like it’s a bad thing.
