Feature:
Good features, especially the on the back which allow jacking into house systems & recording equipment. The “Frequency” switch seems to make little difference in sound quality. But, I’m still experimenting with various sound settings.
Quality:
After about 50 hours of use, I had to get a tube replaced. But, it may have been due to bumbing, as well as the one bad tube from the factory that day. Since then (about 150 hours & several months), I’ve had no problems.
Value:
When I first got my Ampeg, I thought “This sounds great!”. Everytime I play it,I hear from more & more converts saying the same. And the price has gone up on it since I bought it about a year ago.
Desirability:
My SVT-3 Pro head, along with my BXT-410HL-4 cabinet, give me a great, unbeatable sound.
Sound:
After one year I get a very clean sound with almost limitless sound quality options. Although with all of its options, you can get hiss by turning up the high frequencies too much. Best if you balance out the EQ with the guitar tones and cabinet adjustments.
Support:
I have not dealt with Ampeg directly, only the local retailer that sold me the equipment. And after some initial “who has the amp?” mixups, they were pretty good.
Overall:
This is a killer/ keeper system. I’m very satisfied with it.
This powerhouse of a head wallops a massive 450 watts of total bass power when connected to two extension cabinets. All thats left to do now is choose your preferred choice of cabinets so you can plug in and rock! This head features two channels of tone. The Modern Channel features Bass, Treble, parametric Mid and a switchable compressor with variable level control. The Classic channel with its ECC83 preamp valve includes a Boost switch and has a 3-Band passive tone network featuring a mid Voice control with three modes. Like the higher wattage combos the MB450H also lets you select a blend of the two channels either from the front panel or via a supplied two-way footswitch. The overall volume of the blend is adjustable in addition to the balance between the two channels.

Feature:
The Aural Enhancer and the Bass Intensifier are a plus that makes this 400 watt amp sound like a 700 watt amp!
Quality:
The product is well constructed and attractive in appearance.
Value:
The price on this amp is very reasonable considering it’s quality sound and appearance.
Desirability:
The Bass Intensifier and the configurations.
Sound:
The sound is excellent – growl, depth, bass, mids, and highs!
Ease of Use:
The variety of knobs for dialing in the sound you want is awesome!
Support:
No problems yet! Just bought it September 12, 2007. Played two weekend gigs and the rest of the band went nuts!
Overall:
All my other amps and cabinets are ampeg. I paired the SWR 400 with one of my ampeg 410 400 watt 4 ohm cabinets and the sound was great. I actually had more definition on my sound from this head. My ampeg heads are very warm sounding but don’t have the definition of the SWR in my opinion.

The sound is in your head. You’ve played countless instruments in search of the ultimate soul mate. Now you need an amp that will speak your sound to the audience. That’s where the Pro Series heads live. The majority of Ampeg Pro Series heads feature multi-tube preamps (not a single 12AX7 like many competitors), 5-position mid frequency selection, and Neutrik Speak-On? connectors that lock and provide better conductivity.

Feature:
The only complaint might be that I think a foot switch should have been included for the price. I’m not really using this feature, however, so it’s no big deal. Also, the amount of output options on this amp is incredible. Probably more than I would ever need, but it’s nice to have them available.
Quality:
I’ve only had it for a few months, but it seems to be built very solidly. I’ve got it mounted in a ten space rack which took a spill from the top of a speaker stack during a show (from the massive low end vibration and poor stacking on my part). I finished the set with this amp laying upside down on the stage and it never hesitated at all! The rest of the band and the sound engineer didn’t even know anything had happened!
Value:
I guess this amp can be a little pricey for some (myself included), but you get what you pay for and I feel this was money well spent.
Sound:
Great sound quality and versatility. I’m using this amp for hard rock/blues, and could not be happier with the sound. Especially with the gain cranked up a bit for a little “growl”.
Support:
I’ve heard that it’s good, but I’ve had no need to contact them yet.
Overall:
I’m completely happy with this amp and don’t have any plans to replace it anytime soon! I’ve heard some people say that the power rating on this amp is overstated. When used in the biamp configuration, it does seem a little quiet. But, when used in the bridged-mono setup, this thing comes alive!!
Leagues beyond anything you can find in this price range, Ibanez brings you the Promethean as a boldly creative and defiantly original look at what bass amplification will become.

The PS400 is Engineered to maintain the integrity of the input signal and to exhibit noise floor levels acceptable only in professional recording environments, no corners were cut to save money on the PS600 design. The class D amplifier represents the next generation of digital amplifier technology and, coupled with the audiophile class pre-amp, the PS400 sets new standards in affordable instrument amplification. While the front panel suggests a basic three band EQ, the addition of the mid cut switch and the mid cut level control add an additional stage of tone shaping capability. Via the Epifani footswitch the mid cut and mute can be engaged or disengaged.

Bugera named it “The Nuke” for a good reason — with 3,600 Watts in bridged mode and 2 x 1,800 when run in stereo or bi-amped mode, this bad boy is the most powerful bass amp in the world!
