Ok thanks again Russ yep read a lot of similar posts regarding the 7 pro , such a shame isn’t it as most people like the actual amp but the reliability let’s it down , I’ve also heard that the new ones have apparently had the problems fixed but it still makes you hesitate putting down £800 to £900 on one . appreciate all your thoughts Stu

That’s really useful information very much appreciated Russ 👍at the moment I’m using the Ashdown ABM evo iv 600 going through an Ampeg pro neo 410 and pro neo 210 and I’m certainly loving it , very deep punchy and loud , but interested in a class D amp so have been thinking of Ampeg svt 7 pro / Ashdown rm 800 evo ii / Mesa , have you had any experience with the Ampeg svt 7 pro best regards Stuart

Hi Russ you’ve mentioned two amps I’m interested in there ( rm 800 wd 800 ) what are the main differences in tone and volume would you say best regards Stuart

That’s all great info JazzJames really appreciate that thank you , the 7pro is still definitely top of my list and I’m highly likely to make the purchase in the next few months , ideally I’ll get to try one first but no one has any in stock at the moment due mainly to the currant global supply problems I think best regards stu

Thanks BassAdder again appreciate your useful info , yep love the eq section of the ABM but definitely hankering after a class d as a spare or main amp , I’ve no doubt the GK’s are great amps so need to try some gear out 👍

Thanks Lozz yep that’s one of things I like about the abm’s is they have a great eq section , I think if the rm’s had the same I would have snapped one up by now , that’s one of the concerns about the pro 7 as the eq section seems quite limited but then again it may just sound great straight of the bat , I need to try a few out if possible

Yep I’ve used the Ashdown ABM 600 evo iv for the last few years and it’s a lovely sounding amp which I would certainly keep hold off but quite fancy a class d for portability so that’s why I’ve been enquiring about the Ampeg 7 pro as I use Ampeg cabs and just love the thump , but certainly interested in the Ashdowm rm 800 evo ii thanks again stu

How did you like the Ashdown rm 800 ? that’s another amp that’s caught my eye recently

Thanks Russ

Appreciate the info thanks 👍

Thanks for the reply that’s great

Thanks JazzJames really appreciate the reply

Hi guys does anyone know if Ampeg have fixed the problems with the 7 pro best regards Stuart

Thanks for the post Naxos I’ll look at that , I’ve noticed Andertons in Guildford have a Black Country customs custard factory pedal SH in store , any idea what there like best regards stu

Thanks will look at that as well stuart

Like the sound of that will certainly look into that one thanks for the help Stuart

That’s great information thank you , the MXR is the one I’m leaning towards after reading a 1000 reviews 😄 I’ll probably still wait to try it until the Markbass vintage 1000 arrives at the shop I’m dealing with then try both at the same time , but unfortunately delivery time on the amp is the 31st July thanks again Stuart

That’s great thanks for the info Stu

Interested in the thumpinator not heard of those before , thanks for info will look into that Stu

Not yet as the music shop hasn’t received the Markbass head I’m trying out yet so was going to try the compressors at the same time , they’re chasing the supplier so hopefully will get along there this week or next weekend , at the moment they do have the Keeley and MXR in store but will try others as well while I’m there Stu

Brill thanks for info Krispn Stu

Thanks garyt sounds like a pedal to look into , I like a lot of low end in my sound I play in a Ska / Reggae band so I’m thinking i would want the low end compressed a bit to allow me to increase volume without farting out the speakers , we’re a 9 piece band and there’s always a lot of sound on stage and often pretty loud so the whole reason for me looking into good compressors is to keep my sound tight and controlled when I have to pick the volume up a bit stu

Thanks fretmeister crikey you’ve pretty much had them all , what’s different about the Boss pedal .. sound .. ease of use ? best regards stu

Thanks Boodang really appreciate all your info , the tc does sound interesting I may be wise not to write that off , I did notice Guy Pratt has one on his pedal board so it’s clearly a pedal to look into a bit more best regards Stuart

Thanks Martin that’s useful info 👍I’m hoping to try both the Keeley and the MXR out this weekend , both are very popular compressors and have really good reviews best regards Stu
