[quote name='headofire' post='1080699' date='Jan 6 2011, 08:40 PM']the heritage ones are proper, mormon built american muthalovers. but you'll need to sell your wife, car and house to buy a hundred watt combo. you also will have a three month waiting list. Why did mackie have to ruin ampeg????[/quote] hahaa. not quite. i guess it'll cost around 3-5 thousand dollars each. the waiting list... that might be the problem.

Seem to have missed the point I think[/quote] i guess it's just because some people can't afford a tube amp. so there is a solid state option for these people. the heritage all-tube portaflex amps will cost a fortune. sad but true.

hey, i'm from mexico, and i'm afraid i'll be a lot hard to find one of these new portaflex amps, despide there is an ampeg dealer. i don't know if that is a recent Jess Oliver picture, but the portaflex on the left looks just like the new ones with that purple light under the Ampeg plate name. but what's really making my day is the portaflex on the right... the plexiglass lit-up Ampeg script logo says underneath "Heritage"... so this means there will be an all-tube Heritage Portaflex announced in this year's NAMM Show??? if so, i'm selling some gear to get one!
