I saw a few videos and this looks like what I’ve been dreaming of. From what I could tell, it really seemed to capture both the SVT and B15. What do you folks think?

I’ve been rocking my GK800rb through my 8x10 for the past while and god… it sounds amazing. however, with a couple week tour looming over me I am having nightmares about lugging a fridge around. What would be a decent alternative that could retain the same-ish sound and also save my back and some space in the van? playing postpunky/shoegazey/post hardcore stuff

Hey Folks! I'm absolutely in love with and read that he used Ampegs back in the day. I looked around on Youtube and obscure forums but I can't seem to get good information on those amps in general.
So far what I know is that early 70's were a good time for Ampeg amps, and I saw models like Gemini and V2 or V4. In most of the demos I watched, the guys played really clean, which is not my intended use. As I said before, I love Ron Wood sound, which is basically a humbucker guitar plugged into a tube amp and turned up to 10. It sounds very high-treble, being dirty but keeping some clearness. I tried to simulate it with the Catalinbread SFT - I love it, but I'm interested in the real thing.
I played a Marshall Solid-State for 5 years now and I'm about to join a band, which is why I finally have a reason to buy a good tube amp. I recently tried out the Fender Blues Jr. Ltd. (liked it) and the Marshall Sv20 (too fucking loud).
So if you have anything to say about vintage Ampegs, I'd love to hear it.

TL:DR: if you use the Ampeg BA line of amps how do you get a good tone out of it? Like a tone with some shape
I play an Ampeg BA-210 for band practice and live gigs and it’s nice and loud which I really appreciate, the sound carried the furthest out of all amps out in that pricepoint. which is why I don’t wanna buy a new amp, also I don’t have $1,000 lol.
The problem is I’m not in love with the tone the amp makes. It’s quite idk how to put it, flat. Like if EQ is all at 12’oclock it sounds just like a low frequency with no shape to it, if I crank the mids it sounds a bit better, but it doesn’t sound great imo still. I have a lil fender rumble 15 for bedroom and that has better tone than the Ampeg, the fender amp has more of a distinguishable tone. Like you hear more of the stringed quality of the instrument, not just a low “whomp”
So any Ampeg BA users, how do you get a good tone out of it? Amp settings? Pedals? Just want my bass to sound like something

For all things related to the Line 6 Helix/HX family. IRs, presets, patching and routing.
Seriously, the death metal and sludge crowd would be all over it. As well as RG/Century/Cyclone Randalls and Sunn Beta Lead. Any suggestions what other solid state high gain amps they should add? I feel like if we ask hard enough, it'll happen eventually. I know Peavey and Gallien-Krueger did some solid state guitar heads in the past, too. And there H&K Black Spirit 200, as well.

Hi, I’m currently dealing with a dilemma at the moment. I have an opportunity to buy an Ampeg 8x10 (very poor tolex condition) with a Rack Case containing an SVT-3 Pro and a Sonic Maximizer for $700. My current rig consists of a Hartke 4x10 and an Acoustic B300HD.
Should I buy this or hold off for the next best thing?
