  ericthegreat's review

  Characteristics

  I have had this head for about 7 years now and the tone and power is great. I have it paired with a 410hlf cab. It gives you that great ampeg tone! This thing is also built like a tank. I have it mounted in a rack and was backed into by a mini van before a gig. Still worked with no issues.

  Utilization

  After my previous bass amp blew up for the second time, it was time to go shopping for something more reliable. I knew that an Ampeg wasn't going to disappoint, so it was between this and an SVT-CL. Glad I went with the 3-PRO. It covers any style you can possibly think of. The EQ section is very responsive and intuitive and doesn't take much time to dial in. I only use the graphic EQ to get more volume (it actually provides more than the master) It has that classic SVT tone without having to crank it. I consider myself a modern-purist, so if you want that SVT tone but don't need 300W of ALL tube power, pair this with an Ampeg 410HLF, and you'll be set for the life of your bass playing career. (unless your already playing stadiums and arenas, then you don't need this review).

  Sounds

  I love the sounds, really great rock and jazz feeling, it fits perfect in almost all genres of music that any one can be creating. I dont really use any of the settings on it though, just a little drive or boost to make it sound full and not dry.

  Overall Opinion

  Overall I am really happy with my purchase of the Ampeg SVT 3 I would have it any other way, I paid a good amount of money for this, and I take good care of it and im hoping it last me a really long time.

  dannyv's review

  Characteristics

  This 450W(@4Ohms) amp is awesome. The range of tone is just phenomenal. You have bass, mid and treble controls plus a 5 position mid control. The 5-position mid control is where you can get the most control in your tone. In addition to that there is a nine band graphic EQ that can be controlled with a foot-switch or by a button on the amp. The SVT-3 PRO's three 12AX7 preamp tubes & one 12AX7 and one 12AU7 driver tubes give you that warm round tone. It also uses 1/4inch outputs or speak-on outputs. Speak-On sounds the best so it's what I use.

  Utilization

  If you have been playing bass for a while and you know what kind of tone you like, then this amp is no problem setting up. It is also very simple to find and create new tones for yourself.

  Sounds

  The sound this amp puts out is really undescribeable. Before I bought this amp I never knew how great Ampeg amps sounded. I play pretty much every type of music and this has been the only amp I need to switch from different styles. Effects are extremely easy to set up thanks to the effects in and out loop. The effects come in crystal clear without any kind of delay or scratch.

  Overall Opinion

  My big upgrade rig from just small combo amps was this SVT-3 Pro with a SVT-810 cab. I've had this set up now for about 3 years and the volume and tone of this amp is enough for any band I've been in. From metal, funk, pop, rock to jazz and so many more. Whatever style you music you play you can definitely find a tone that will suit you. In my 3 years of owning it I have never had one single problem with it. I don't plan on upgrading any time soon, but if I did I would stick with an Ampeg.

  Noko's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " The sound I needed!"

  Characteristics

  For me, this is a US 3PRO in 1996 (with the red logo and blue), at the time this model was still produced in korea.
  
  
  
  Power level, 450 € in 4ohms, 275 in 8.
  
  Three preamp lamps, 2 in drive, the mosfet, pref, good cam, heavy (especially with the fly that goes with it), imposing, you feel the gear to last.
  
  
  
  Level settings, there is plenty to do, a-15db attenuator for active basses, which adds a bright clarity of the signal, which gives a high treble and deep bass to gain respect for the switch. A small 3-band EQ (low, medium, sharp) with a medium frequency selector, the foot. And in addition to the 9-band EQ with switchable volume independent for metering correction data to the 3-band EQ. Gain and master volume, tube gain to vary the voltage grids at lights, in short, the front arch is complete, there will almost enough to get lost.
  
  
  
  Equally comprehensive in the back, DI output with its output volume, 2 jack for HP (as the old banana plugs for mine), effects loop, tuner output (handy), footswitch jack, what connect a preamp in addition, you quickly get lost when you start with this machine.

  Utilization

  The use could be disconcerting at first glance, rather complicated to set, must know what you want, you really dig.
  
  Mode at the job, I busted one that is downloaded from the forum on the head in question, not necessarily useful, but always interesting.

  Sounds

  In sound, I find that I needed, after trying many brands (ashdown, trace elliot, bugera, Genz Benz, ect ...).
  
  I play in a punk rock metal tends nag, level adjustment, bass and treble at noon, almost thoroughly with medium frequency selector to 3, Graphic EQ slightly boosted in the lower midrange and treble, bright switch enclanché, a big muff in dry (almost minimal saturation on the case, otherwise it really spits too), and my Fender Precision 50's, all in a cabinet Hartke 410VX (not enough money for an ampeg 8x10), just with it already , it pierces nickel in the mix, as I like surly, big presence, good potato. Lack probably slightly low in my sound, but marries beautifully with the sound of my guitar (and yeah, it was his rule as a group).
  
  Occasionally, I troll for beufs evenings, and there I found a beautiful polyvalance, exit the big muff and hello deep switch for metal, removing the bright and rising slightly low, it happening on the reaggae and dub.
  
  The three switches are really great and well transfoment sound (I do not get hardly any of my EQ), and I only get's her three small buttons to play everything myself just to play Take affected.
  
  The only gripe I have with him will be a lack of definition when the bass is too strong in the EQ, but I think a new cabinet to be remedied best quality.
  
  
  
  An extremely versatile head, but always with his ampeg typed (this is like marshall, we love it or hate it, but there is never indifferent).
  
  
  
  I shall give a post soon after testing with other basses, I never play with my Fender.

  Overall Opinion

  Bought used in August 2010, the previous owner had left limit switch (not enough volume, failures, etc), a small tower for repair, welds redone newer lamps (electro harmonix), j ' I finally head ringing.
  
  Of repeated almost weekly, more than twenty concerts and just as enjoyable to use, it even manages to impress with bassists playing on svt-vr (Korean). ^
  
  After testing many new heads (ashdown mag, trace elliot, bugera, ect ...), I came across this American head for 450 €, I cracked.
  
  I also had the (mis) chance to test a new generation 3PRO, I was very disappointed, lack of potato, definition, totally the opposite of mine (and a SVT 410HLF and more, it sounds better now even on my Hartke 4x10).
  
  
  
  Frankly I understand the negative judgments on the head for those who have Korean versions. If you want a good 3PRO, search for a Cygnus, it usually runs for around € 700 I think.
  
  Right after it is typed, but hey it takes for everyone, but for me it is perfect (I will test just a small mesa boogie and an orange to refine the comparison).
  
  Anyway, no regrets for having done 200km for this wonder.

  gardenas's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Very bad ... but if current"

  Characteristics

  Be called Hybrid lamp (if it really exists) without any effect.

  Utilization

  Simple

  Sounds

  Its far from what made the reputation of Ampeg. Can not be plugged into the bottom one 4x10, and too when adding a 15 'where they seek to recover the hours lost mediums. Bad caricature of SVT-amps.
  
  Drive button is a horror, still not understood why they have one.

  Overall Opinion

  I meet this amp regularly on the stages of France. It looks like they have it in theaters or clubs backline.
  
  This brand has become a horror, bad head, bad speaker, but retains a monopoly with an old reputation.
  
  Materials very expensive compared to the sound quality. It is better to turn to Eden, Ashdown or Markbass (very expensive though, even a brand image concept) for the quality.
  
  I just hope the stewards room or home newloc & co are finally realizing it, NO, AMPEG IS NOT GOOD MARK AMP!!
  
  Sorry for the rant but I'm sick of all these technician "proud" of their brand new ampeg!

  Ninspade's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Matos quality"

  Characteristics

  Tube preamp and MOSFET amplifier delivers 450 watts into 4 ohms and 275 watts into 8 ohms
  
  
  
  An entry with-15dB pad, gain, bass, mid with selectable frequencies (220Hz, 450 Hz, 800 Hz, 1.6 kHz and 3 kHz), treble, master, tube gain (which varies the voltage lamps the output stage (driver tube)) and finally a 9-band equalizer + volume. There are also 4 buttons: mute, bright (+6 dB at 2 kHz), ultra high (+6 dB at 5 kHz) and ultra low (2.5 dB at 5 kHz,-12dB at 560 Hz and +1.5 dB at 5 kHz)
  
  
  
  Speakers Output: 1 Speakon, 2 jacks. Line Out (XLR) or unbalanced (jack) with adjustable output level knob and pre / post EQ. Output tuner. Power amp in / preamp out. Effects loop.
  
  
  
  Pedal that controls the mute and power on / off the EQ.

  Utilization

  The config is simple, at least normal. I easily found the sound I wanted through trial and error. Some basic settings are provided in the manual, I found clear enough what I needed (English, French, Spanish and German). I do not use the direct output, I always preferred to use a direct box independently.
  
  
  
  Small flat, tiny, I've already blown three fuses and the power supply is toast. I want to believe that I am a killer stuff (but I appeal to the presumption of innocence) or it is the fault of the various grids on which I played but still ... Strange!
  
  
  
  Or so I'm cursed, the assumption that one can not rule.

  Sounds

  It is quite suitable to my style of music (rock). I always play with the ultra low settings and engaged in about 14 hours on 1.6 kHz mediums but this has changed quite a bit depending on the speakers with whom I played.
  
  
  
  I use the equation for the single player whose sound is quite different from my basic sound and it works perfectly with the pedal.
  
  
  
  I plugged into an SWR Son of Bertha and a Hartke 210 XL, I am considering changing to a SWR Goiath III.

  Overall Opinion

  For me it's quite an amp that can play in the big leagues. That does not make me better but this stuff has never been found wanting (except when the power supply has burnt out on stage during an intro / solo slap, big moment alone ...)
  
  
  
  I played with for 6 years before I played on Trace Elliot, Pentatonic and small amplifiers. Gradually I realized that what is best for me was a triple body and lamps so that's ...
  
  
  
  I paid the price (1500 €) but for me, not too expensive. If I had the choice again I think I dive again.
  
  
  
  Anecdote that may shed light on the judgments of other users of the latest SVT3: I was in the store where I bought my amp a few years later (I'd say about 2009). The seller is trying the new SVT3 just happened: its very soft, without character. Since there is no bass player and he knows I have one, it asks me to try the amp in its place: a hollow, a little cardboard despite different settings and different basses. A pro bassist was visiting, we would propose to try it too. The sound is not bad on his vintage jazz bass but he is very disappointed with the result. I make a brief comment then: mine arrived encased sticker "Proudly Made in America", the latest ... nothing. Should we bring this story problems with the lamps to read the original here and there?

  demonaz's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " The basic exelence"

  Characteristics

  450watt amp hybrid technology (lamps in the preamp and transistor for power)
  
  Control low, middle, treble, gain, volume, 5 frequencies and a graphic eq with nine bands switchable volume control. Low mode, bright, high.
  
  DI output with level control output and a push splitable I know what it is 8)
  
  
  
  No headphone jack but what is it serious claps!

  Utilization

  The configuration of the amplifier is relatively simple, but not necessarily obvious to everyone. It is a professional amp. What is certain is that you get a good sound in any case, it's ampeg ^ ^
  
  
  
  Personally, I have not received the manual with, I can download it from the site but he did not serve much.
  
  
  
  Compared to the notice above the mine, I want to say that this amp sounds correctly and that there is a difference between a sound attempt at TAPP and make a sound. The problem of loss in a serious case of the gain is very simple réssourdre. Then connectite DI AC is to be transplanted more easily for concerts and studio ... I will speak lower.

  Sounds

  It is ideally suited to my style, I played the muse, red hot, Franz Ferdinand, Smashing pumpinks, compounds that slaps good and metal. I play in a group of black death melodic and it's perfect for all 8)
  
  
  
  We always speak of his ampeg, I did not know exactly what it was, it was magical j'entandais everywhere and indeed it is!! It is a warm but can be fatally transformed with disconcerting ease her into a crystalline or fat, very banging, very round, very accurate (as accurate as I tested here previously).
  
  
  
  I use a Fender 5 string jb, ibanez btb 5 string one "improved" and very little time with a yamaha rbx 700 and a distal odb3 coupled boss has a boss noise gate.
  
  
  
  Speaking of his pallet he offers, I can say it is infinite. To start we chose the frequency, there are 5 that range from soft blues to the standart to rock / metal. The middle knob bass etc. are quite sensitive which is a good point. Then you can choose to permanently active eq or not. This same little solo act as a channel because there is a volume control for the latter.
  
  Speaking of modes, mode low tear ca race so to speak! So I made the metal ^ ^
  
  It is very accurate and makes the sound of your intrument over the sound of Ampeg. how high is not bad, but coupled with the bright mode ... It is the largest in the world slamming bass! Of course he must follow the settings behind the guys;)
  
  The thing about this amp is that the gain is a real gain. This is not a kind of "attack" or a "middrange" is a real gain. For it sounds good it must be properly adjusted the eq on the trendy and well if you have a loss of bass. The problem come from the original lamps that are not terrible. You just have to be replaced by high ranges Sovtek or mesa boogie that will cost you a 40EN euro. This head is really worth the investment.

  Overall Opinion

  I use it soon depuit 5 months, I saw that group work with experienced musicians and singers sound engineer who used to work on machines such as professional engl, mesa boogie, ampeg etc. I already easily done the trick:)
  
  
  
  I already tested a lot of model before, swr working pro (EXCELLENT amp with a well defined) trace elliot (personally I do not like the sound Britsh and since I bought ampeg ..) Hartke (brrrr. .. cool!) Peavey deltabass (I kept my old and closest) and bass with Mark that I hesitated on your 503 but that was much more expensive and with less options.
  
  
  
  What I like most about this amp is its homogeneity, its range of sounds in fine, its methods and its unique frequency each time, its look and its switchable eq ^ ^
  
  
  
  What I like least is the 450 watt ... Even hybrid that's huge! You really found a proper setting for not only the AC Chow guitars! Finally I saw the concert of 300 people occasionally, this can be used = D
  
  
  
  Level value for money I find it correct, I got it at 1050 € with a flight case and I do it again without hesitation that choice unless I had 1000 € more for svt4 looool!
  
  
  
  If you have any questions, please:)

  jukap's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  'Lack of tips, tricks There's also overpaid for what it is.
  
  
  
  on the other hand, hat for the quality of construction: it's flawless.

  Utilization

  Head amp really too complicated rgler, taking assuremme head who would not want one single sound. Group (except perhaps if you are the blues rock three or merdouille "new" song Franaise festive probably) it's really making head to thread between what you want out if one is built and a tad too rtrograde and its other zikos group without becoming intrusive stroke volume war (see below on the blur ct).
  
  
  
  DI output anecdotal, do not think too its usefulness.
  
  
  
  Fan too loud, change impractical.
  
  
  
  on the other hand, quality manufacturing and exprience force, almost no one pt 'breath is really excellent.
  
  
  
  Otherwise, attention: at my probs with Electro-Harmonix 12AX7 (as against the 12AU7 is 0.k.), which deal with Sovtek are seriously losing out in volume - and the level is not dj jojo - without making really grain.

  Sounds

  The sound can be pretty good, but it is too boring rgler, especially in groups. Dj lack of gnrale DEFINITIONS even when the bass and low trs mdiums can be blurry. It hurts if you play with who do not scratch that flutter, a drummer who does not pretend to have a kick drum (see also prob dynamics), the synths and other instrumentals coming empiter, and a singer who must be at mle: in short, great difficulty in positioning a complex mix and stay there by providing that a low is made. In addition, the contribution of both lamps is ultimately limited by a lack of clarity + the drive is VERY difficult to get, you really send the sauce by boosting the pramp to have some ( a sends a kind of saturated fat not bad but not as good as a either). Can not have The beginning of a real grain with SVT, plain as overdrive. And impossible to find a good sound slap, because there is also a very serious lack of potatoes: it's not really cool, both in terms of volume (a spell strong enough into 4 ohms, 450 watts, but certainly not !) that Ractive dynamic (even when it is soft enough).
  
  
  
  In the end, the sound is typ trs; one little tweak stuff, but it really has some quality that almost on Ampeg cabinets, which are calibrated to output the Ampeg sound. As they do psent a death, those speakers, and as an carry 3 tons, as much to buy a real SVT head in this case l: for lovers, Would there the pure grain, potato more and not taking head.

  Overall Opinion

  For me, too pnible use, too, despite some quality indniables default.
  
  
  
  Premire C'tait my head amp combos APRS years on, buy on the renaming and Ampeg qq critical prtendent we sound with SVT: c is false. I'm stupid, I should have known, all products o There's labeled "pro" it is ... avoid Anyway, we can not say it's really bad, do not EXAGRES, but not worth its price in terms of rendering, IMHO, and it trs bof use. Head surcte done everything that is worth its price just for me to US - I do not even talk about what to cough up by nine.
  
  
  
  Sold after a year and some for the Aguilar: typ too, but much easier to use, friendly tool, and what's, what EHJV! It has the smile you directly, without taking the cabbage.

  ilcalu's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  - 4 Sovtek Preamp 12AX7WA lamp and an electro armonix 12AU7.
  
  - Amp transistor 275 w RMS into 8 ohms and 450 w RMS into 4 ohms
  
  
  
  - Connectivity:
  
  2 hp output jacks and one Speakon
  
  DI output in post or pre preamp and XLR jack with level of knob
  
  1 preamp output power amplifier
  
  Between a direct in the SVT 3 amp to connect another preamp
  
  A tuner output
  
  A jack for a footswitch to start the eq and mute passage to agree in silence
  
  An effects loop with send and return jacks as
  
  
  
  - Rglage gain and master, eq low, medium (5-position adjustable frequency), bright graphic eq + a 9-band, low and high boost, tube gain rglage for a more or less warm.

  Utilization

  - Trs simple. Dej in a flat sounds good and means the color key feature in choosing an amp. The rglages consills in the manual (consisting of a few pages) help discover a lot of his versatility: for what I concrne I am not far from the rock config.
  
  -As stated in a comment, I changed too the 4 12AX7 WA by LPS (always Sovtek) and effectivemnt grain takes more characters and the more heat. This is not the day and night but for the price (I recommend the German site tube-town) is worth the effort.

  Sounds

  - I jous some styles, from funky rock to jazz to trip-hop and it fits perfectly. In the fingers and slap I never touch the settings, just with the mediator and I drive boosts the bass to make the sound less dry.
  
  - My first bass is an EB Stingray with dynamic large enough and everything comes out the amp with a fawn pretty amazing, I feel the hum music man is amplified even more. So has quickly become a hard drug and seulemt attacks stomach to stop hunger grow. As I pedal MULTICOMP multidrive and EBS. I use the 8x10 Ampeg Classic and I must say that if I exceed the BPS in 1 / 4 of the gain (with gain and master tube bottom) are the other musicians face.
  
  The sound is a little dirty, it must be said, but that's why I prefried.
  
  I did not touch the eq because I am satisfied with its current trs.
  
  Ah yes, the seller advised to use it mainly to recover 4 ohms full power or 6 maximum.

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for a month. Of course the sound is what I love most li versatility is the least DI output that does not send too much substance, but even playing on the gain has arranged.
  
  I test the same time mark bass R500 and Gallien Krueger 1001RB-II. Bass Troisime the mark, less deep and not too many characters but when the power is the same. The GK trs trs well, I was torn between the two because the sound is more crystalline and less coloring, slap it kills and it complies with the bass sounds resortent pure. Was it even more powerful but it's hard to explain the choice, Ampeg is more seductive, more sensual as her and probably in part to the reputation and lamps but I say again, between the two has t difficult.
  
  Quality price ratio correct, I think, for the quality. They would still stinks mm make the effort to mount 12AX7 LPS for the ridiculous price difference with WA.
  
  I would do this choice with his eyes closed.

  sankukai41's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  - 4 12AX7 preamp tube and a 12AU7 quality really mean (see explanation in the overall opinion).
  
  - Amp transistor 275 w RMS into 8 ohms and 450 w RMS into 4 ohms
  
  
  
  - Connectivity:
  
  2 hp output jacks and one Speakon
  
  DI output in post or pre preamp and XLR jack with level of knob
  
  1 preamp output power amplifier
  
  A direct input of the amplifier 3 SVT to connect another preamp
  
  A tuner output
  
  A jack for a footswitch to start the eq and mute passage to agree in silence
  
  An effects loop with send and return jacks as
  
  
  
  - Adjustable gain and master, eq low, medium (5 positions adjustable frequency), treble + 9-band graphic EQ, low and high boost, tube gain settings for a more or less warm.

  Utilization

  The configuration is simple. You plug the bass and immediately was the sound that kills.
  
  The manual in English and Spanish is very clear and to find a sound to its taste quickly thanks to the presets provided.

  Sounds

  I, for one, connected a cab svt 410 HLF with this amp, so I use all the power.
  
  My bass is a stingray 4 string chords with DR.
  
  The sound is huge, it's Ampeg. There is some grain, it goes down very low and the medium is very aggressive.
  
  I play in a group of punk-hardcore, and it should totally this musical style.

  Overall Opinion

  This configuration: + Ampeg Musicman, I have dreamed for a long time and now it's done, and I do not regret it at all.
  
  However, I have a small problem to make. When I tried it for the first time, I found the sound much, but a little too clean, lacking a bit of grain.
  
  So I opened the beast to see what tubes were installed, there was a well-GT Groove sticker on the amp, but I wanted to check. And what was my surprise to find that there was only one 12AX7 Groove GT and the other 3 were Sovtek very low end. Only the 12AU7 was quality, an Electro Harmonix.
  
  So I decided to change all that. After some advice, I changed all the Sovtek 12AX7 LPS by and I have kept the EH is an excellent tube.
  
  And then there is the day and night. We keep of course the signature Ampeg, but with a grain, a dynamic, aggressive, low spectrum multiplied by 100. In addition, the definition of sound is present all the time, regardless of the volume used.
  
  What a shame qu'Ampeg not provide this amp with tubes of better quality.
  
  
  
  I played a lot of amp, Marshall, Trace Elliot, SWR, GK, but no, not really, has this little something or other that makes the reputation of Ampeg.
  
  
  
  I am more than satisfied. The price / quality ratio is excellent, I had everything (svt3 pro + svt 410 HLF) for just € 1900.
  
  
  
  Nothing in the world, I would not change.
  
  
  
  I hear some say that the sound is too typical. I do not agree. It is typed, it's true but certainly not too much, and the grain of the bass is present. Just compare a stingray with a Fender Precision for example, and you will see there is a difference.
  
  After it is true is a matter of taste.

  BrealK's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Lamps-preamp, amp mosfet
  
  -450W @ 4ohms, 275 @ 8ohms
  
  Single-connection, a single entry input with push / pull-15dB, otherwise XLR DI output, an output jack HP or Speakon output tuner, preamp in, preamp out, effects loop, ground lift.
  
  One-parametric mid EQ 4band with a more equalization 10bandes
  
  -A serious boost, treble, a bright (adds shine) and a mute
  
  It's all footswitch, not included of course!
  
  
  
  I put 9 but it is noted that the power cable is not provided ...

  Utilization

  -Configuration is intuitive, like many current amp!
  
  The presets-the manuals are quite efficaces.personnelement I left on the rock preset then I changed and we get a very good sound rapidement.l '10bandes EQ is more complicated to configure, and using a sound engineer can be lifesaving, or if it spent time on it just!
  
  -English manual / espagnol...clair until you fully understand the 2langues!

  Sounds

  - It is perfect for my style of music, it is also built for that! Rock'n'roll!
  
  I use it with my warwick corvette standard 5cordes bubinga, ineffective, and the sound I got is very aggressive, but you can get a very "fat", not aggressive (round), its a perfect slap also by activating the treble and bass boost, in the bright adds a layer if you did not do enough!
  
  -Personally aggressive mediums coupled to the depth of the grave (beautiful, surprising for a definition!) Is not my sound préféré.je desteste a priori no sound.
  
  -Noted that this amp has a very good character but it colors the sound ... so of course if you love the big deep bass and clear, there is no problem, but if you prefer the sound its low, it will not count on him ... a note that it can strengthen the sides of your bass, for example, very serious round of my warwick are enhanced with serious boost ... but the grain of the is not low ... only problem with the amp!

  Overall Opinion

  I just got it, so since day one, I'll do one if needed later UP
  
  -The serious and aggressive for me is its strong point
  
  "I try Hartke HA3500, mark bass little mark, then I say go you break the wallet, ampeg ... I'm disappointed in any way ... I recommend it to anyone who wants an amp character with very beautiful bass frequencies!
  
  I do it again this choice a thousand times yes, unless I will not like the amp has a strong character ...
  
  It is good value for money (at MusicStore 1100euros ...), coupled to a nemesis nsp410 (500euros. ..) which is a quality insoupconée, the case is indeed good!
  
  
  
  UP AFTER 6 months:
  
  
  
  the fan has a manufacturing defect, it makes a mess for head of this award, but the guarantee is no problem, I suspected outsourcing of parts manufacturing in China and an American ... because I opened the beast and the interior is really in order, frankly, it exudes quality, which was not the case fan ...
  
  
  
  if not for her, it is always good, I paufiné my settings, with a little less aggressive, it must still be careful not to abuse because of serious we are left with a surplus quickly affecting the mix instruments in a band!
  
  
  
  So I have nothing negative said, except this little problem of fan!
  
  honestly try it and see for 1000euros, ca worth!
  
  
  
  UP AFTER 9 months:
  
  
  
  So the fan was changed by the VAS, since I have no problem, I added the NSP115 the stack, which makes me a fairly virulent 3corps! : D
  
  
  
  It is also worth noting that the power does not gradually from the master button, but the sound comes much faster between 6 / 10 and 8 / 10, so that there is no more power in 4ohms a volume equivalent, but a high volume, 450W sings, and it's been very, very afraid, so they sing only rarely, and the amp does not necessarily need!
  
  
  
  a good purchase anyway!
