PF-500 Portaflex : Real Ampeg tone!
Well I waited to have some gigs with this "little" one before writing a review. I chose this head because whenever I played an Ampeg rig it was the perfect tone and feels for me, nothing came close to it. At first I was a bit skeptical about the size and weight - it can not deliver the power and tone I need but I was totally wrong. I use it with an SVT410HE + a Hartke HD210 cabs, so I have a 6x10" at 4 ohms, playing a loud metal band with two guitars (Mesa Dual Rectifier + Kemper) and my mates complain about my volume being too loud (gain and master volume at 11 o'clock). I don't had any problems with the head cutting out (many horror stories you can read on the internet) I guess it can happen if the gain is not set properly - you have to adjust the gain until the point the peak light start flashing, than back it up a bit. The other thing is the mid control, this only works if the level is boosted or cut, if you leave it around 12 o'clock you can change frequencies and nothing will happen. I recomend to purchase it with the PF500/800 bag. All in all this is the best Class D amp if you like the Ampeg tone. Check it out.
