the Official Ampeg Club Part 5

Added a second 210 cabinet to my micro-vr rig, really liking it!

But with the v4b it's a super killer setup with tone for days!

Impressive collection but I see it looks like they are in an attic room. I know someone who vibrated the ceiling plaster off below the band practice room. A bare wood ceiling was left. It was either the bass or the kick drum or both that did it. It was in an older plastered home back in the 1960's. They were big on Jimi Hendrix etc. and really cranked it when they got all excited.

I've been using my 2pro with 4 210 cabs lately. Makes a nice bedroom practice amp.

Ha yeah. Luckily that hasn't happened to me YET!

That is awesome!
 
Anyone looking for a remake of the older Ampeg SVTDI Tube Direct Box? I have a Khan VTDI handmade by Obeid the original designer of the older dicontinued Ampeg version. It still has 2 1/2 years warranty left and perfect. Takes $399 shipped fedex in original box.

I can't swing it but some lucky person really ought to take you up on this...the SVT-DI is a box of awesome that truly sounds like a tube amp.

Had a gig Saturday. Used the house's Ampeg 810. This thing looks like it's already survived WW3, but sounded like a million bucks. Holy smokes. I've never played through an 810 at gig volume before Saturday. LIFE CHANGING. Had my PF500 powering it. MY GOODNESS.

I'd have to dig to find a pic but I used to run an SVT6-Pro through two Mesa 410's live and it was fabulous! Not playing much these days so I've down-sized. Sold one of the 410's.
 
Even tho I'm one of them pesky and disliked guitarists...
Does this qualify me to be on here?
1972 VT-22
1974 V4
1969 GU-12
1969 B25-B (modded and hot-rodded)
2003 GVT52-212

Oh and I talked several of my dearest bass players into Ampegs as well...

I thought these amps looked pretty the other night at band practice and decided to snap a shot:

Yeah, I'm a bit of an Ampeg amp fan. Not pictured:

Ampeg Micro-VR (two)
Ampeg PF-500
Ampeg PF-50T
Ampeg SVT ('74)
Ampeg Heritage SVT-CL
Ampeg V-4B ('75)
Ampeg V-4B ('14)
 
Just got an 810 cab today. I can't decide whether I'm going to keep my PF-115HE. It probably makes sense to have a small cab in case I ever start playing outside my house again.

I'm also thinking of bumping my amp up a notch. Leaning toward a V4-B. I suppose I could use that 115 cab to help fund that.

The 810 sounds every bit as amazing as I expected.
