stuckinthepod Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Just bought one from Amazon, great amp really pleased and great value currently at £220. I had an audition last week and needed a new amp having stupidly sold of my TC BG500 a year or so ago. Read some reviews and ummed and ahhed around whether to get the 500w version I decided on the 350w -Reason being The TC was super loud at 500w, never had it past 3 on volume and never felt it was properly utilising the drivers at low volume so I figured that 350 would be ample. Wanted a standard rock tone and that exactly what I go using the BB614 and Bass Attack preamp. Ran it at 8ohms through a Laney 410 at half volume and it sounded immense during the audition! ...and I got the gig! Yay. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say the Ampeg Portaflex range are some of the nicest looking amps and cabs on the market. The design team really nailed it. Despite going FRFR (quite happily I might add) I've had intermittent tinglings of GAS... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pea Turgh Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Despite pondering an upgrade, I’ve been gigging mine happily for a couple of years. It does look cool sitting on my BF Two10. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckinthepod Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) It looks faintly ridiculous sitting on top of a big 410 however. Will look to upgrade to a smaller 212 4ohm cabs in the coming months. Edited March 19, 2019 by stuckinthepod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
