All user reviews for the Ampeg SVT-410HLF

Black, Large, Heavy and sturdy, Played atleast 50+ shows with this beast over 3 years,

Bought it through guitar center from a former band mate who used to work at guitar center, so I got it with the employee Discount for $500. A new one will probably cost you around $7-800.

This cabinet is great, it can handle plenty of power and wont blow out on you. It is a perfect balance between a smaller 4x10 Cab like the 410HLE and a larger cab that is meant for big shows, if you play bars, clubs, and other small/medium venues this is the only cabinet you will ever need, this thing can fill a rather large size room with no problem, if you are playing stadium and large concert halls you should probably go for the 810 or even at a 15E for that extra low end push. But this cab is great for 5 and 6 string basses and will play and the frequencies your bass can play as long as you have a decent amp hooked up to it.
It has wheels that are on one side, so you need to slant it to roll it and move it from place to place. This can be difficult to store it in a closest when moving it up and down to roll it but when on stage its great to have a cabinet that wont roll of on you if you knock into it or decide to go all rock star and jump off your amp.

None that I can think of except that its heavy and hard to lift, but HELLO, its an amp!

This thing is built to last, you can buy a used one in confidence, and the resale value is high as well, for this reason.

If you are playing small to medium venues this amp is all you need, and with DI to the PA you should have no problem with larger venues. Its a great amp for a great price, I had to sell mine to pay some bills since I haven't played a concert in a while but I will definitely buy other one used when I have more time to play concerts again!

While it is heavy, black, heavy, solid, heavy and cumbersome. And expensive.
Fortunately he has good wheels.
And the cover for not damaging is not shipped with.
I struggled to find a "Made in America" ​​on the secondhand market.

But since I do not regret:
- It is 4 ohms, so I pull my full power of different amp heads.
- It has a baffling Horn Driver
- A high or low volume, with a head standby transistors, with a sound amplifier, with my head lamps: it sounds, and I quickly found the sound I love.
- It's PERFORMANCE: No need to crank up the volume for sound.
- It is powerful enough for outdoor scenes, and not too big for cafe-concerts.

SOUNDS

Ampeg sound ...

OVERALL OPINION

With experience, I will first buy the baffle, and I would save a lot of money ...

The ITS first course! power! Adjustable tweeter! that it is a 4x10, "easier" to carry (yeah you still have to peel the stairs up / down with, or nag you're not what thou art!).

Frequencies that can drop to 28 Hz, it is also a big argument, in fact I hesitate to take a second rather than 810 for these very famous 28Hz.

I branch over a Ampeg SVT classic, so it sends the baffle and cash, is made for!

Okay I admit the weight is always annoying but good sound and robust anything!

SOUNDS

Mr. Oh no it's not neutral! Next sound we recover the warm grain of Ampeg!
Compared to the famous 810, the 410HLF has a more open sound much down as up spectrum (with its tweeter that does not have the 810 which has a more "compact" in the lower midrange).
Dynamic level niquel it passes, it is designed for normal head I have.

This speaker offers good versatility and can play in all contexts and all styles. Some say qu'Ampeg is a bit vague on the sound is not as precise but with a warwick and tweeter baffle I get to have a sharp sound with no hassles. Well of course too much treble damages the HPs (including strapping lights when they are really really too much treble, so bah decrease the treble in this case, but at least the speaker warned you if your ear is the 'have not done before!)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year and a half. Before I had a 4x10 warwick very serious but not facing such a level. What I like is the 28Hz for my thick rope détunée in G # (Db we are granted so I mid my in G # If, on the slides is MONSTROUS!), I also like the tweeter that serves me well for my sound very aggressive dug. Good value for money in retrospect. It's expensive and it's heavy, but here it is and it sounds! Anyway looks like the other "if you want the sound, move the box".

I have played it in concert "official" only once. I bought this cabinet before joining a group including former bassist has a 610 HLF, but wanted to like this board to the guitar (his real instrument if we can say is he who has the same is back!), ducoup I play on his cabinet and snooze in concert (I sometimes play on a 810 ampeg when the opportunity arises). The 4x10 has a gig but paradoxically it is the largest ever made, I chose him rather than the 610 for reasons of space at special trip there for this concert. Otherwise it serves me home, even if I did not grow too much, or so when you go up the mountain home of drummer and what it takes to repeat in a room not necessarily very large.

Well that's basically what's good: it's reliable, it sounds and it's versatile!

I do it again this choice although I tried 810 for his monstrosity and low mids well "hulk"!
