Your two cents... 800RB or SVT 4 pro

Both great amps IMO but i prefere 800rb (even if I love my Ampeg v4bh)

So, the 800RB is in the mail, and will be here Monday. I can't wait to play this puppy! I'll have to wait to hear it, but I do like my 215 cab. If I'm not digging the 215 all by its lonesome, would it be easy for me to get the 210 to sound right (in conjunction with the 215)? Let's not get into phasing because I know that topic could take years to finally solve. I know that the two amps can individually controlled, so does that mean I can get a little more pop in my mids?

Hi!
Yep - I'd first try the two in full-range mode, then go to the biamp mode.
When in biamp mode, if you're looking to get nice lows out of the 2 15's and good mids and tops out of the 2 10's, start with both amps at a volume level to taste, then adjust the crossover from highest frequency to lowest (adjusting counter-clockwise), and stop where you like the mids to come in.
I personally use the 800rb with 4 10's in the 300w amp, and another 2 10's in the 100w amp. I use it full-range, where the 2 10's are for my ears, and the 4 10's are for general stage volume/rumble.
I have gone with the bi-amp a few times and it's nice to have it as an option, but try them both for yourself!
Cheers!

Neither. Do yourself a favor and try a MarkBass Little Mark 800.

Really? ...no, I mean REALLY?
