Absolutely KILLS the 810- & AFAIK [u]was designed to sound like the OLD Ampeg 810 straight back cab[/u]. I've never heard one of those, but I DO know that the NV610 with my V4BH sounds simply superb!! Low notes sound like explosions!! & this cab has SO much more clarity than the SVT410HLF I had previously- a mud bucket IMO. If U can- try one w/ the V4BH- but in a gig/band setting [i]this combo absolutely KILLS[/i]!!!!!![/b][/quote] Not really comparable when it costs twice as much...

[quote name='Golchen' post='515212' date='Jun 16 2009, 12:38 PM']I think that it's very ugly, but interesting in a historical context.[/quote] I pretty much agree with this.

Another +1 for Hotrox. If you're ever in Notts then go and check them out - fantastic customer service.

I’d generally always put a tuner first, anything after that is ‘right’ if it sounds ‘right’. There are generally no rules for this except what sounds good to you.

I owned the 410HLF for a bit with the SVT-CL head and it sounded immense. It was a very boomy sound with exaggerated lows and low mids, but that was the sound I was going for at the time – it had that great all valve growl. Very loud rig – never had the master volume above 3! It actually wouldn’t make any difference if you could rewire the 410HE to 4ohms, cos the SVT-CL will kick out 300W at 4ohms and 8ohms. It's only with transistor amps where you lose wattage for a 'heaver' load.

[quote name='markdavid' post='514855' date='Jun 15 2009, 10:57 PM']I had a Hartke combo a while back , it wasn't the most powerful combo (100 watts I believe) but it was so punchy sounding, really punchy mids, coincidentally I also have an Ashdown combo (150 watts) which is nowhere as good as the Hartke , It must be something to do with the aluminium cone[/quote] I don’t think it’s all to do with the driver – I’m not a fan of any of the Ashdown budget amps at all. They sound f***ing awful IMO. So with this in consideration, I’d say that any other brand of combo that’s of a similar wattage would be ‘better’ (louder, punchier, clearer, more usable tone, etc…) than any Ashdown equivalent. This, of course, is just my opinion.

If it don't feel right, then don't do it - it's not worth the stress.

[quote]combo wars[/quote] My combo is ‘arder than your combo…

The POG 2 looks fun :brow:

Wasn't me, unfortunately/fortunately (depends what angle you’re looking at it from ).

yes

It’s very nice, but has anyone told you it’s the wrong way round?
