I own this amp and so do people I know,it's simply not loud enough. It's overrated and under powered, I have tried several different cabs and settings with this amp as have others I know and the power is just not there. There is no way it's got the wattage they claim it does. ..........................The tone and versatility of the Ampeg is great it just is not a very powerful amp.
The legend lives on...... still ain't true
It's got the power...... turn off the limiter, that can mess you up depending on playing style.........
Oh, and be sure you really have it in mono and know how to hook it up right...... I've seen a couple irate people claiming foul, who actually didn't have it hooked up right............. they were a tad embarrassed, one insisted we'd fixed it..... "couldn't have been his mistake,,"
