OK - so this is not for you guys who want a light class D amp. It weighs a ton. Nothing exceeds like excess.

wow - 12x6L6 on the output!!! You can probably roast a chicken on that thing

wonder why they did not do the traditional Ampeg VST route - 300W from 6 KT88?

I bet that amp is LOUD :eek:

Good question but you can swap out the 6L6s for El 34s. My 85 watt Dual Showman head is just barely enough for the roots/rock band I am currently practicing with - and thats at practice! 300 watts is sounding good to me right about now....LOL

think of it this way - to get twice as loud, you would need 850W

tell your guitar player to turn down :D

I'm impressed that it only weighs 51 lbs. I don't know how they do it. The Ampeg SVT weighs 80lbs.

My old Guild ThunderBass head into a smaller cab gives steel sounds I like at lower volume, or can turn into a Plexi when cranked. Great for bass too.

I have a Traynor twin 12 80 watt tube guitar amp that I use for lap or pedal and they sound great. I used a Traynor bass amp for over 25 years and never had a problem. Great amps.

Ampeg Bass Amp

Post by David Murdock »

I've experimented with my Ampeg B4R bass head with 4X12 enclosure. I haven't played through my Peavey Pedal Steel amp at a gig since. Lows and mids I never thought possible. As long as you don't mind carrying around an effects processor for reverb, delay, and sustain, it's awesome.
