Good, powerful cabinet in a small package, perfect match for the pf heads (obviously)

I use this cab with an Ampeg pf800 head and a Sandberg California TT passive bass only for rehearsals for the time. I have played very loud with it and I have played smooth also (I got it last week). I have played rock, blues, sludge, punk and funk with it in a band and it responded very good through all those genres.

Pros

-The portability of the cab is an awesome feature: the flip-top and the wheels, which you can put on and off with a "click"

-The sound has great low end, though it remains punchy and you can hear clearly the treble and mid notes within the mix. It treats frequencies in a way so you can feel and hear the bass always through the mix.

Cons

-The only con that I can think of is that this cab is a perfect match for the ampeg pf amp heads and many of the features that it has would go to waste if combined with other amp heads.

(keep in mind that I play this cab with the pf800, so i guess that I could have a diferent point of view if I played with another amp head)

So, in conclusion: The cab's perfect match is a pf head. Great portability, it cuts through the mix , it's got great low end, it is punchy and it treats mid and treble notes just as good.

Cannot Recommened Enough

I use this cabinet with my "Ampeg PF-500" head, and they just pair up perfectly. Easy to transport, especially with the attachable caster wheels. Super light-weight too, making it just a joy to bring to a gig. A long way we have come from the back breaking 15" cabs of old times.

Great cabinet

I bought this cabinet with the AMPEG PF50T head.

It sounds fantastic, fat, round and yet sings through the mix.

Light and portable and it can handle any of the PF heads

Sounds decent, but has quality issues

Pros:

Lightweight

Sounds good

Wheels(!)

Storage compartment

Cons:

Started making a buzzing noise after about a month of daily usage. Something was not properly attached inside and made it impossible to mic because of all the buzzing.

Other than that it's solid. But the reason above is enough to put me off buying another one.

Ampeg PF-115HE

I bought this Ampeg cab along with the portaflex 350, light, 50's styling is beautiful. The head that screws to the underside of the top of the cabinet( brilliant idea or so my wife says) is fantastic, really for the money spent this is a brilliant amp, Iam playing bass nearly 25 years never have I heard am amp so compact in its design and gotten so much bottom end, wonderful stuff Ampeg.
