Definitely sounds better if you just listen to the right speaker. [/quote] That's right, the entire feed to the right speaker is coming from the SM57 mic in front of the cab. The feed to the left speaker is DI out from the back of the amp. The left will have more clarity, but the right will pick up some of the character of the cab, though that is hard to do with an SM57.

I didnt'get my money back, but then I didn't buy it from Ampeg. I do have the gurantee. So I got it fixed for free, but upon return, it had the same problem. I have yet to bring it back to be fixed, but my job never allowed me the time to get out there during their business hours since. All around bad experience with this amp, despite it sounding awesome and unique. Note, Roger Waters from Pink Floyd, now uses this on his The Wall tour. He's got a bunch of them on stage. Perhaps the newer models are more reliable. I mean, a show like that requires some serious reliability, I think.

Not from Crook in County Durham. Not evn the same continent I'm from Montreal, Canada.

Yeah, that amp fried on me during rehearsal, a couple months after making that video. I got an SVT-CL head now and use the PF-500 as a backup.
