steve-soar Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 What do people think, is this worth a punt? Are they being made in Korea now, how reliable will it be and should I just replace all the valves if I get one?

coasterbass Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Blimey!! Well, its got a three year Thomann warranty so thats pretty handy. Despite fears about the move to Korea I haven't actually heard any horror stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmesa Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I would get an old US one for that money. Older the better with Ampeg I guess. imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmesa, I tried a Mesa 400+ years ago but ended up getting an SVT II, have you a/b ed them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmesa Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Nah never A/B'd just used them on separate occasions.. I find Ampeg stuff a lot more 'coloured' and less accurate than Boogie, but thats just my preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
