We are close enough to the show now. Feel free to ask me about anything regarding the Heritage B-15 or Portaflex Series specs or features. We will not discuss pricing, though. You can contact your favorite dealer after the show for their pricing.

Are the cabs on the solid state line double baffled? Sorry if this was discussed in the previous thread, but I didn't see it.

There are lots of things that could go in a bag. In this case, speaker cable.

These PF amps are looking better and better. I like the simple, basic EQ and controls. With the price point on these, as long as they are of decent quality and sound good, they should do well.

if they sound as good as my new micro vr, i predict hugeness.

What is the carrying weight going to be on these beauties?

Always good to see Jess with his Portaflexes - and look - there is a purple light inside the PF500! To match the purple speakers?

The 210 cab is 48 lbs, the 115 is 45. The PF-350 weighs 8 lbs and the PF-500 weighs 11 lbs soaking wet.

 

[Batmensch]

More reasons to like these amps. Cool how the 115 weighs 3lbs. less than the 210. My back thanks you.

So, the PF-500 is waterproof too!?!

Seriously - I'm really looking forward to seeing these. I think they could be a winner!

It looks like Ampeg is really back on the right track. Glad to see it. Can't wait to hear and play these new models.

I wouldn't consider the Heritage B-15N's to have all that much impact since there only building 50 units in the first production run and they've outsourced them to a custom amp builder in Michigan. I do like the look and design of the Class D PF Heads and Cabinets, but until I actually play through one I'm cautiously optimistic.

Do you know how quickly the Portaflex will ship after NAMM? I was going to pull the plug on a Micro VR, but will wait if the Portaflex is shipping soon. Thanks.

• Can you tell wether the powersection of the PF series heads will be Mosfet?
• Are the cabs @ 4 ohm?
• How soon will the PF series be available here in Europe?

Thanks in advance!

We expect availability in US/Can in March. Available internationally in April. Those dates are subject to change, of course...you guys are probably well aware of that by now.

I will get back to you on the power amp stuff. Need to check with someone.

Both cabs are 8 ohms with 450W RMS power handling

Europe availability is slated for April at this time.

Checked with the right folks and the power section of both the PF-350 and PF-500 are Class-D, not MOSFET.

Hey, thanks man!
Must be about the fastest anyone ever answered this kind of questions for me!
