    Portaflex spot the difference

    Hi all, long time lurker first time poster. I have a Ampeg Portaflex PF500 head conundrum I am hoping for insight on. I have been running a PF500 head either into a PF115HE 450W cab or into a SVT-410HLF. I have two PF500 heads, one screwed to the fliptop of the PF115HE, and the other was...

    Ampeg PF500 with Aguilar SL112

    I recently purchased an Aguilar SL112 to use with my Ampeg PF500 and I wanted to see if anyone else has tried a similar combo. The cab is rated at 250 watts with a Max of 500 watts, while the head pushes 300 watts at 8 ohms. Initially I plan to use it for practice around the house at lower...

    Ampeg PF-210HE... Problem?

    Hi guys, Recently I bought a new Ampeg PF-500, and a second hand Ampeg PF-210HE. The cab was previously owned by a guy who ran the all tube PF-50t into it. I tested the cab with his head, not the 500. All was good, really nice warm rich tube. I've been playing at home with my 500 no issue...

    Blown Ampeg pf-500

    I left my bass amp at home when I went off to college and finally got it up to school today when my parents came up. I was so excited, plugged in and turned it on, and played a single note before it cut out and the yellow fault light came on... I check the back of the cab (PF-210HE) and see that...

    Selling my back up amp to help pay off a new bass. I grabbed this from MasterBass a while back and it's performed flawlessly. I'll probably buy another down the road but for now this one's got to go. Just some normal scratches on the top and bottom but nothing bad at all. Pictures will be posted...

    NAD Ampeg PF500 and some questions about 5 pos. Mid switch

    Hi, I just got one of these Ampegs last week and even gigged with it last Sunday. I'm really impressed with the amp and it's tone. I normally play Hartke amps (lh500, ha3500). The Hartkes are very transparent in tone compared to Ampeg. The Ampeg just has the complex mid range to it that I'm...

    I have been using a Ampeg PF 500 head and a Fender rumble 4/10 cab. I replaced the speakers with Legends, giving me 600 watts at 8ohms. I recently played a gig and had the Amp vol cranked to about 3-4 o clock and felt like I had no power coming out and was hard pressed to get a good clean sound...

    Ampeg PF500 with 2 PF115CE cabs?

    I just purchased the PF500 with one PF210CE and one PF115CE cab. It is my first head/cab setup after using several different smaller combos (TC and GK). I must say that I am loving this rig- it sounds great and is easy to find a good tone. Our sound guy loves it too, fwiw. That said, I like...

    Ampeg PF500 Query

    I have a chance to pickup a PF500 for $75. Although the unit powers on, there isn't any sound. Is it worth purchasing the unit and having a technician repair it? Or should I just look past it an invest in something else? I will have to ask the seller if this is a early model, as I remember Ampeg...

    Anyone run an Ampeg PF500 preamp into a poweramp?

    I know Ampeg says you can slave a poweramp to the head with the preamp out, but I was wondering if anyone has any real-world experience doing this. I've searched the forum, but I've only found people suggesting this as an option.
