Ampeg SVT-12HE

It is 300w rms and 600w peak in, it weighs 18kg, has compression tweeter is adjustable with a knob on the back. It has a vent on the front and 2 large handles on the sides, very practical. The HP is a 12 inch and is protected by a black Tolex.
I use it with a head ampeg svt pro 7, another cab ampeg svt410he and a fender jazz bass us.
I play with almost all the time in pubs, restaurants, festivals, stage ... When I play outdoors or large pub I would add the 4x10, otherwise it is quite sufficient for all situations.

SOUNDS

Fraquence curve is very good but is not neutral, there is what we love ampeg grain or not, personally I love it. He has a good dynamic even though I think there are better for the slap. It may well settle for the tweeter sounds different.
I play in a cover band and composed pop / rock evec a touch of reggae and punk. It's perfect for what I play.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had almost a year and I'm really happy, small, fairly lightweight, powerful, very good sound, solid and more beautiful it is!
The report price is excellent quality for the 250th time, I do it again this choice without hesitation.
For the bassist who plays a lot (which is my case) and who loves his rock, it's a very good cab not too heavy and cash fine.
In addition to a 4x10 cab style is perfect.
I have several that before the cab, an electronic hh, a Hartke, a ashdown, a marshall ...

I wanted a small cabinet, easily transportable, but not at the expense of sound, and incidentally I am "in love" Ampeg sound. I own 2 SVT12HE baffle me a couple SVT3Pro head. This configuration allows me to play in small configurations with a single cabinet or on large scenes with both.

SOUNDS

The sound is not neutral, we find the typical coloration of Ampeg amps and speakers, but that's what I was looking for. With its 300W sub 8Ohms it is powerful enough for any repeated or small cash scène.Il If the grave without flinching even at high volume.

OVERALL OPINION

I use these speakers for 1 year. This is exactly the baffles that I needed, which allows me to have a stack "malleable". I used a lot of speakers before them, the largest 8 x 10 to 1 x 10 but it is a very good compromise here. Both portable, compact, powerful and all with great sound. From big fat
