No longer available at zZounds
With this 800-watt Ampeg PF-800 Portaflex head and PF-210HE cabinet loaded with 2 Eminence speakers, you've got a killer bass rig that's still easy to move.

This setup combines the Ampeg Portaflex PF-800 head with a PF-210HE bass cabinet. It was designed by Ampeg to be supremely portable: the PF800 Portaflex head can be secured to the removable top of the PF-210HE bass cabinet and flips inside the cab for transport. And in true Ampeg fashion, this stack delives extremely responsive bass tone with a lot of room-shaking power.

Clear Tone at Any Volume

The PF800 Portaflex amplifier is a Class D design, specially engineered by Ampeg to deliver an impressive power rating with a minimum of heat gain. Some bass amp circuitry can lose tonal definition when you push the signal on the circuit too far -- especially on systems that cannot offset their heat gain. The PF800 Portaflex head maintains its tonal consistency all the way up to its highest output.

Excellent Tone Controls

The front panel of the PF800 has numerous useful controls that help you craft your sound both in the studio and in live situations. There is a 3-band Bass/Mid/Treble EQ and a 5-position mid-tone control. An onboard compressor allows you to keep a ceiling on your output. An Ultra Hi/Lo switch gives you a boost when you need it. A Ground Lift switch helps you eliminate ground loop issues whenever they may arise.

Versatile Connectivity

The PF800 Portaflex head has a single balanced direct out. This output can run either Pre- or Post-EQ from the settings on the front panel. There is a -40 dB pad for pulling back on volume output quickly, and a FX loop read more with dedicated mix control that is handily foot switchable! There is single line-in for Power Amp inputs, and also a Line Out for running to a preamp. A 1/8-inch headphone jack allows you to practice at night. The single input comes with a -15 dB pad.

A Super-Easy Amp to Transport

The PF800 Portaflex head is an 800 watt Class D bass amp that weighs less than 12 pounds! If you're going to be taking a bass rig with you on the road, you should seriously consider this amp.

Comes With the PF-210HE Bass 2 x 10 Cabinet

The PF-210HE has a vintage-styled Portaflex flip-top cabinet design, with black diamond tolex and classic B-15 grille cloth. The cabinet is a 15mm poplar ply that sounds great and is super rugged. The speakers are two 10-inch ceramic Eminence low frequency drivers. It has two paralleled 1/4-inch input and output jacks. The four heavy-duty casters on the bottom are removable.

I have a full stack Ashdown EVO 500 and 2 4/10 cabs . Great for gigs but too much trouble for one guy for grab and go sessions. I did lots of research on combos and this was my choice for Blues and Classic Rock. It sits well in the mix and has that classic Ampeg tone. Fat, Round and Bassy and you can dial in a little grit if you like. The onboard Compressor is good and my Darkglass on my Pedal Board is not needed. The cab Construction is top notch and the Black Diamond Tolex gives it a nice old school touch. It being a Portaflex you can mount the amp to the lid and safely transport it to and fro. Great tone and as is with one cab you got 400 watts @ 8 ohms. Ampeg Technical Support has been top notch replying to several questions I had pre and post purchase.
