The Fridge

[Mantis Tobaggan]

Ampeg describes the 810e as the cabinet your band needs. Since getting one, i feel like my whole band sounds much better. The presence and punch of the bass is so much better than before when i had a 15 and two 10s. Anyone else here a 810 fan? I will haul it on and off stage all day so long as it is on stage for the gig. I think an 810 takes one's band to the next level. Anyone agree? Disagree?

Looks great , sounds great and drummers and guitar stack owners fear us. What's not to like?

I used to run an 810, and have used more than a few. Turns out I could get more sound out of a lighter cabinet, so I sold the 810 and moved on. Not sad to see it go.

Cool Stage

By the way , I have two of them. (Three actually but that's another story.) No band has ever let me take them both on stage but I did hook them both up in my basement a few years ago. I'm pretty sure that is what caused the East Coast earthquake.

Ampeg 810 is hard to beat. They make great big noises all day long and never break a sweat!

 

[JimmyM]

Love em, got two.

 

[Alexander]

Don't have one now, but I love them!

No horn. Sealed cab=low bass response that isn't my favorite.
So: I'll pass.
To each his own though.

I never found the need for more than a good 4x10. Only time I would consider 8x10 is if I really needed that extra volume/pressure and had 2 guys carry it for me, anywhere I go.

Hoisting it on stage is usually a two man effort but that is what bandmates are for right? Its the fridge.

Yea thats right, I just never liked lifting lots of heavy stuff before a concert, since it could affect my playing later. So I generally try to go for light gear. But I'm glad that setup works for you

Never had a 810 but did have 2x412 stacked with tube head of course - pant flapping goodness!

If it wasn't so damned big and heavy (and I wasn't getting old) I would still probably be using it.

Love my 810 but I've been turned on toward 12s recently. Next cab I grab will be a second 212av to complete my V4B stack.

That's my exact rig and it is pure heaven. Very close to the fridge IME.

I for one don't find the fridge bad to move at all. Easy to roll around and do the tilt/lift thing to load it up. Unless there are stairs of course, but that's what they make drummers for...

 

[FirewalZ]

Yes, they have a great classic look and sound. But we have so many more options now, my days of lugging around huge heavy cabinets and heads are over

 

[mapleglo]

I have two.

That looks sweet, dude. I've never done the 8x10" thing, but I'm always keeping an eye out to try an SWR 6x10".
