PF-500 Portaflex : Great Amp!

9 years ago

This a true Ampeg. Real Ampeg sound, solid construction and very easy to achieve a great sound.

The preamp is great. Punchy ampeg sound!

The compressor is very useful. Very transparent when bellow 50%. Squashes when above 50% for slapping, as expected.

The EQ is very well balanced throughout the frequency. It's very easy to achieve a great sound.

I think that, for a 500watt amp, there should be a little more headroom. But not a major problem.

Pros:

Ampeg tone. Ease of use. Solid construction. Great EQ. Great preamp. Good compressor.

Cons:

Low headroom for a 500watt amp.
