Feature:
i think the 5 position selector is cheesey, and I rarely use it. i do however use the CD input for laptop playback , which I use to record our practices, and thats real helpfull

Quality:
dont like the cloth grill cover, every amp in the band but mine has a metal grill.

Value:
over priced for only 100 watts, in my opinion. in hindsight, i should have saved up for a few more months and gotten a seperate amp and cabinet, I’d probably be a lot happier.

Desirability:
all black, i dissagree with the poeople that say ” you look good on stage if you use it” thats crap !. but for a monitor it’s good. i use mine as a seat often, love feeling the Bass in the Butt

Sound:
sound is fine enough, i came from a Crate 100 watt combo ( got old ) to this, I practice in a relatively small basement so depending on where I stand, the sound drops out, but thats just the room accoustics so I cant blame the amp. Havent played out with it yet, it’ll be interesting to see how it does then.

Ease of Use:
not a lot of crap to get in the way, other than the selector switch.

Support:
haven’t had need of support…. yet

Overall:
as soon as we start playing out, i’ll probably start looking for more power, as I’m sure the guitars will blow me away. i do rattle stuff upstairs all the time, but the drummers wife is pretty understanding, knowing its just the frequency, and not the power / loudness, so thats cool.

Feature:
everything a tube head should have and more.

Quality:
This thing is reliable. hasnt failed me in the 5 years I have owned it.

Value:
for the money you cant get a better deal. as I said before aguilar might be better but you have to pay %250 more to get what this amp does.

Desirability:
come on its ampeg and its a classic.

Sound:
This is the thing that has defined my playing. the sonic quality is unbelievible. I have played many other rigs in my time but nothing has compaired to the SVT. things have come close but they always end up leaving a little to be desired. the only thing I can think might be better is the aquilar 680 and you still need a power amp with that and it costs just as much.

Support:
Havent had a problem yet but with other things ampeg has been great.

Overall:
VERY satisfied with this. Been playing with it for years and it just keeps on pumping out the gloryious tube tone that is unatainable but solidstate anything.

Ampeg BA600210 Bass Combo Amplifier (600 Watts, 2x10 in.)The Ampeg BA600210 is anything but “just another” bass combo. Even though it packs dual 10 inch LF drivers, an HF horn (with Level control), and a whopping 600 watts of pure Ampeg power, the BA600210 is supremely transportable. You get Ampeg’s legendary tone-shaping thanks to the multi-stage 12AX7 tube preamp, Style control, 3-Band EQ, and Ultra-Hi/Lo switches, all of which make the BA600 the ultimate in versatility. And because you can choose between two channels, the vintage B-15 channel and a more modern tone, you get access to both with the simple click of switch.

Feature:

Quality:
SUCKS. I bought 2 and sent them both back. the bass cord pops out when the eq setting has too much bass. Crappy sound at full range. speakers system clipped, (no sound) on both units (I had to power down, the power up to get sound again)

Value:
I will never waste my time on an ampeg again, and I like the USA models.

Sound:
great

Ease of Use:
very easy

Support:
nothing, so I thought screw you ampeg, I’ll get my money back.

Feature:
It’s really no frills and that’s a good thing. Frequency boosts work well, includes XLR out +headphone jack. AND will get the job done with portability.

Quality:
Just got it yesterday. I read about the QC issues from the Ampeg China factory but heard one and decided to take the chance. One side of the chassis was cut to long so it sits 1/4″ below top of cabinet. To make it fit the top corner of metal is pushed in and there is a 1/2″ clean cut where the bottom of the chassis folds. You would think to not to scrap it they would use another frame instead of gerry-rigging and forcing it in. Even Epiphone will stamp used on a product that is factory flawed.

Sound:
The preamp tube adds warmth and tone controls are responsive to accomplish a variety of sounds. Using a Fender American Jazz bass I’m very pleased.

Support:
I hear it’s good because Ampeg is aware of QC issues and replaces them.

Overall:
Great sound, inexcusable QC.

Feature:
I am really glad it has the EQ because it sounds bad in my opinion if the amp is only used with the knobs. I like the limiter also, because my amp is always near full output.

Quality:
Ampeg…

Value:
This is not worth it. If you own an Ampeg 8×10, get something with more power.

Desirability:
I like how it looks on top of the speaker cabinet. Everything matches.

Sound:
Its not my favorite. The tone is very very very “round” which is not what Im looking for. I am able to get a decent “grind” sound by turning the mid knob all the way down and also have the mid frequencies on the EQ all the way down. Also, It isn’t as loud as I thought it would be. Its only 70db at max output at 4 ohms. The bass only goes down to 40 hz. I was quite dissapointed.

Ease of Use:
I took me less than 5 minutes to figure out my tone

Support:
They were nice

Overall:
You also have to break it it to get that famous Ampeg “grind” tone, so be patient if you are buying a new one.

Quality:
Work of art

Value:
A steal

Desirability:
I like tolex covering better than carpet. Best looking Cab available

Sound:
I bought a Eden RS410 to replace my svt15e. I put them side by side and tested them. I found the Ampeg 15 much much clearer than the RS410 by Eden. The Ampeg reproduced my basses sounds like the fret board the squeaking of the strings etc. I asked my wife to listen and she was amazed also. You can,t go wrong with the Ampeg SVT15E.

Ease of Use:
Good

Support:
Owned 3 Years no problems

Overall:
Very good

User Reviews:
Feature:
The wheels and handle help manage this beast. Without them it would be almost impossible. Still…this cabinet is not for the faint.

Quality:
Pay less…get crap. Your choice, not mine.

Value:
With everything else I’ve owned (Hartke, Sunn, Carvin, Fender), you “pays your money you takes your chances.” Not with Ampeg,

Desirability:
If you’re looking for hot chicks…this thing will help you work out and build muscles, but it won’t attract any. It’s an amp, not a magic lamp. But if you’re looking for the best sound around…if tone and musicality is what you’re trying to achieve, this cabinet paired with an Ampeg SVT-VR is a sure thing.

Sound:
The sound all cabinets aspire to. That classic tone from the past, that nothing else can touch.

Support:
Hasn’t broken yet…the best support I know of, not needing any. :D

Overall:
Until I cannot handle it anymore, it will be my gig amp. After that…well, it will sit in my basement and be my practice amp until I die or cannot play any more. Life’s too short, why settle for less?
